Laura is a dear friend who has been our helper, then assistant for several years now. We met her while she was working as a vet tech at the vet clinic we used to go to.
Last year, Laura passed her Federal Funeral Director boards, and now that her 1 year apprenticeship is up, she passed the interview and written test for the Kansas State Board Certification. She has been working hard with her studies and apprenticeship, and now it is all official. A Licensed Funeral Director and Embalmer.
Now if she can just get the funeral home that she works for to pay her more than the guy with a GED who runs errands for the boss, but generally plays games on the computers that the others are trying to use for business. (Hmmm, wonder what he has on the boss?) Laura has a college degree, Federal and State board certification, and is one of only two people in the entire staff who can embalm. You think they'd want to hang on to her. The other embalmer definitely doesn't want her to leave or he will be stuck doing it all himself.
I have flashbacks to working for the government when she tells me some of the stories. I hope she finds an employer who appreciates her talents, and will adequately compensate her for them.
CONGRATULATIONS LAURA, AND ALL THE BEST!!!
