My deepest condolences to the family of Mrs.deleon. she was 1 of my high school teachers back in 99. She was one of the nicest and best teachers I ever had. I got to see her again around 2010 and I was so happy to have had such a wonderful conversation with her. May the lord give the family strength and may she rest peacefully ? ❤
Laura, you were a caring, loving person, friend to so many. I will forever be grateful to you because in many time of need, you and Adriana took care of me. You would drive me home from school when I broke my ankle and was on crutches. I have never forgotten!! I extend my most sincere condolences to your sons and your grandchildren, to Hector, Adriana, Gabriel, and Javier and their families. You were a person of deep faith. You have been welcomed in Heaven by many. Know you were loved on this Earth and will be missed by many.
Lots of good memories. Thanks for being such a good friend to my sister Elsa.
Sincere condolences to the Gutierrez Family...?? Laura, will forever be in our hearts. There isn’t just one memory to reflect on, there are so many. I will always remember her smile that reflected into our lives. She was both courageous and strong. Her {Faith}, gave her purpose. Never taking anything for granted, Laura loved her family and most especially, her two sons. Her friends were extended family to her. To have known Laura was a blessing in itself. Whenever you would be in company with Laura, you knew adventurous moments would be remembered. I will remember Laura always for the Life that she lived. She is in Heaven now, reunited with her Mother and other individuals who passed before her. Thank you (Loli’s) for all the Joy you gave us. Until we meet again...Amen ??

Extending deep and heartfelt sympathy to Laura's family. Laura and I were shopping buddies. We enjoyed going downtown seeking bargains. We would work up an appetite walking the streets of Laredo. Afterwards we would sit down at one of our favorite restaurants and indulge. I will miss her so much.
I grew up one block away on Gustavus Street from the Gutierrez family. I went to school with Hector and we have remained friends all of these years. I had great admiration for Laura. She was a wonderful, kind and generous person. May God Bless all of her family who will miss her so very much. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.
I had the pleasure to meet Mrs. Deleon back in 2016 . She was one of my pts ! She was always so loving and kind! She would always express how she loved her profession ! May she rest in eternal peace
Laura will be truly missed. Much love to the family.
My deepest sincere condolences to all. I knew LAURA for a while & she was an AWESOME LADY & FRIEND. SEE YOU LATER MY FRIEND.
I am deeply sorry for your great loss??
My sincerest condolences to the family of Laura De Leon. She will be greatly missed by all those who knew and loved her. I will never forget her. May she Rest In Peace.
I considered Laura a friend, not just a co-worker. I will miss her infectious laughter, her candor, and her positivity. One of the last times we spoke, when I shared my difficulty in caregiving for my mother who has Alzheimer’s disease, she took some time to comfort me with her kind words. May her light continue to shine in this world and may God wrap his loving arms around her. ✝️??
Laura was a beautiful human-being who had the heart and soul of an Angel to both her family and close friends. My wife Debbie, daughter Camila, and I will miss her greatly and remember the beautiful person that she was. We know that she is at peace now and that all pain, worry, and suffering is gone. She was one of the most faithful Christians that I have ever known, and she and her Maker already know each other well. She never missed a birthday or special occasion with my family, and getting her notes of joy and love will leave a hole in our lives. The best thing is that she is with our Mom and Dad, many Gutierrez and Garcia aunts and cousins! Life in HEAVEN will never be the same. So many loving memories too numerous to count! And we will miss her always closing every conversation with us with a MUAH (kiss)!!!!
Thank you for being a great Prima. We had so much fun as children. You were always there for the family. God bless your soul until we meet again. Prayers for your family always. Rest in Peace, Amen. Love you and will miss you.
My condolence goes out to John, Chris, and all her family, may she RIP and forever be with God.
