Guestbook

  1. Mrs. Haugh is a wonderful Mom and Grandmother. She made a beautiful centerpice arrangement for my wedding in 1982. It looked most beautiful & professional. I was, for the first time, introduced to the Queen Anne Lace. After that I always think of her when I see this flower. She is very talented. I treasure the post cards she made for me and my sisters & my daughter from the photos of the flowers surrounding her home. Acha, A, and I will miss you. It is an inspiration to see the love that Mr. Haugh and you have for each other, and the love you have for Bill, Toy, Daniel, Alex, & Thomas and your extended families. We love you. Sunny, Add & A.

  2. Our deepest sympathy on the loss of your Mother. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Beverly Anderson

  3. Mom, What more can I say than it has been an honor and a privilege to be your son. I will always cherish your final spoken words to me — “I Love You”. I Love You, too, Mom.

  4. Bill – I am so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. My thoughts and prayers will be with you. You were so kind to me when my father passed and I would like to do the same for you. Lucinda

  5. Aunt Laura, I have many special memories from the time you gave me a haircut to the days I spent painting your house. However,The most special ones were spent with you and Uncle Max during Briana’s illness. I still see us all doing the ‘hokey-pokey’ in your living room. I look forward to doing it again someday Brian

  6. According to my dad Jim Cox, the oldest sibling, my Aunt Laura was a saint. She put up with harsh treatment as a youngster between him and their brother Albert. She made history for taking me for my first day at the Naval Academy, getting up at 4:00 am so I could arrive on time. Everyone remembers her being there for Grandma and Grandpa Cox as they prepared for their final destination. There is a special place in heaven for this selfless soul. God’s peace with you.

  7. Our deepest sympathies and love go out to Max,Bill, Toy and the boys. Laura showered her love on everyone she met..it was my honor to have known her at WUMC.Her many talents,smiles,and joys will never be forgotten.Thank you Laura

We’re sorry we cannot make it to Memorial Service, but please know we love you all very much. Usa & Michael Iverson

  10. Grandma Laura: You will always be the best chef in my book! Thanksgivings and 4th of July’s will never be the same. I know you are in a better place now. Love, A PS – Thank you for raising the very best Uncle I could ask for.

  12. We remember the day we drove up to Wright Paterson Airfield to have dinner with Aunt Laura, who was there on a stop-over while conducting business for the Pentagon. What an incredible impression our sophisticated Aunt from the Capitol made on our young minds! To us Aunt Laura was the undisputed organizer-supreme. We enjoyed many Cox family gatherings that Aunt Laura conducted with skill and inventiveness which included obtaining the camper in a neighbors driveway for our accommodations and introducing new-to-us dishes like sweet potatoe pie. As we grew older, we came to know her better as an enthusiastic cheerleader for our efforts in higher education and early careers. Most of all we felt so welcome and loved whenever we had the opportunity to be with her & her family. Well remember her always with love and appreciation. Marsha, Leslie, and Cheryl

  13. Dear Mr. Haugh, Bill, P’Toy, Thomas, Alex & Daniel, We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Mrs. Haugh. May God’s comfort, strength, and peace be with you during this difficult time. Love, Ann, Ed, & Chaweewan (Mom)

  14. I met Laura’s brother Ed while he was an Air Force Cadet at the Univ. of Dayton. We went up to Columbus where Max was stationed so that I could meet Laura. She was very friendly to me. I liked her right away. Ed & I married in 1945. Later, with our girls, we enjoyed every occasion we had to see Laura, Max, & Bill. After Ed retired, we took many vacation trips with Laura & Max. One year we went all over West Virginia to take pictures of the homes that Ed & Laura had lived in when young. Laura made a photo album of all we could find. On one of our last trips, Laura & Max took us to visit several colleges for my granddaughter, Jillian. Nothing was ever too much for them to do to help you. We kept in contact through the last 7 years by phone, letters, & cards. I’m so sorry that I wasn’t able to visit her and to come to her Memorial, but Cheryl & Tim were able to represent our family for us. I’ll miss her. She was like a sister to me. Until we meet again. Love, Polly
