    I’m so sorry for your loss. Praying the God of all comfort helps you at this difficult time. (2Corinthians 1:3,4 & Psalms 83:18). Jesus told us to pray for God’s Kingdom because the Bible promises it will end tears pain and death. (Revelation 21:3-5 & Daniel 2:44).

    Laurie was a bright light in the lives of those who knew her. She was always there for everyone and her loss will affect many lives. She was the baby in the family and loved being the youngest.. I know she has found peace in the arms of the Lord and is with her beloved extended family in heaven. I will miss her so much.

    It’s hard to believe that she has been gone for so long. I still think of things that I want to share with her and go to the phone only to realize the only things I can share with her now are in my prayers. She pushed me to let go and live a little, to do some thing’s that I never would have without her. Turns out that they are among my favorite memories of her and us. She fought so hard for her life and was looking forward to a better future. We are all the worse off not having her here with us. I love you so very much Laurie and will see you again. You are missed by everyone who knew you!
