Laura Shipp was like so many parents. She was devoted to her son. She even moved to Las Vegas to be closer to the 23-year-old Marine. Now she is dead.
She’s one of 58 people killed by Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock.
Laura was headed to the bathroom and became separated from her group when the shooting broke out, reported USA Today.
“She was his world,” Laura’s brother Steve Shipp said, “and he was hers.”
The family searched everywhere for Laurie after the shooting, without success.
The more time passed, the more bad thoughts undoubtedly went into their heads. Those thoughts were confirmed.
Authorities contacted them to confirm Laurie’s body had been identified through her fingerprints.
The family says its attention is now turned toward helping Laurie’s son, Corey.
“He just lost the most important person in his life,” said Steve to USA Today.
Next Shark posted the following Facebook post from Laura’s niece, Paris.
