I met Laurie when I was a Senior at Downey High School ( 1974-1975). Our first date was a BTO concert at the Forum in Los Angeles. I helped her get her first job at The Bake Shoppe in Downey, where I worked. I feel in love with her, which is not hard to do. She was a wonderful person! I remember taking her dancing at Knott’s Berry Farm and also remember taking her to Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlour on the day before I left to go to college. She did not feel the same way about me and only wanted to be friends. I felt lucky to have her as a friend. I still have her Senior Class picture in my wallet! She was the first girl I ever loved! I am so shocked to hear she is gone. I will miss her!

I went to school  East Jr High,then Downey High School. Laurie was a kind friend,she will be missed.   Kathy Hathaway- Kline Class of DHS 1978.

Laurie...Thanks for taking (and teaching) me skiing for the first time in 1990 in Deer Valley. I appreciate your emotional support during my major milestones in medical school/residency/fellowship. I appreciated our long talks!

Laurie was a wonderful person, I worked closely with her during her time at MSH. She had great ability to stay calm but at the same time bring tremendous focus to resolving tough issues.  She had a great sense of humor and delightful presence. She will be missed!

Laurie was such a great colleague at our firm, -- always able to bring a sense of order and organization to even the most "narly" transactions, and always calm, poised and gracious throughout the process.  She was gifted in so many different ways and I admired how she was able to balance work demands with family life and interests outside of law.  I offer my sincere and deepest sympathy to her family and loved ones at this time.

Laurie and I practiced law together for several years.  Everyone at the firm knew, if we had a difficult legal problem, Laurie would be able help us to work though it.  She was a great lawyer and colleague.  We wish her family and closest friends comfort though this difficult time.

Laurie and I became good friends in law school, where Laurie was well liked and respected by all.  She was truly amazing and her loss will be felt by many.  My deepest sympathy to Laurie's family.

Laurie and I met at a McKesson Leadership dinner in Charelston, SC last May.  I had the pleasure of sitting beside her at dinner and we had such a lovely conversation.  Getting to know her that evening had a profound impact on me and I just want to offer my sincere condolences for the loss of such a lovely lady!  May peace and strength surround you and your family during this very difficult time.  My thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends, Laurie.

With my deepest sympathy.

Dear Laurie, Two handsome, smart, and active little boys - each with their own fabulous sense of humor, became amazing young men under the wisdom and strength of your maternal wings. Your loving, kind, and happy spirit was your gift - a gift that lives on in them, and in everyone who had the pleasure of knowing you. You lived your life well and you'll never be more than a thought away. I wish you peace, my friend.

Although we only had a chance to work together on a few occasions, Laurie was a welcome and wonderful addition to the law department and to MSH.  I am deeply saddened that she is gone too soon, and my thoughts are with her sons and her family at this very difficult time.

Laurie will truly be missed, although I only worked with Laurie for a short period time at McKesson, every interaction was plesant and productive. I will always admire her strength. My thoughts, prayers and condolences are with her family and friends.

It was my pleasure to meet and work with Laurie while at McKesson. She was so passionate and professional! I will miss her and her help. To her family, please know what a valued leader and great woman.she was.

I enjoyed getting to know Laurie across the table on a deal in the not too distant past. She was always warm, gracious, professional, conscientious, smart, and a pleasure to deal with. My thoughts and wishes for strength go to her family and all who knew her.

Laurie, Our roots go back to your Brobeck days and last year I was so pleased to recruit you to McKesson.  A brilliant mind and sharp business acumen coupled with grace, empathy and kindness.  And oh how you loved those sons!  You will be missed.

Laurie we did not know each other in-person, but I did talk to you over the phone a couple of times. Every time you came across as gracious, kind, considerate and witty. May you rest in peace. 

My sincere condolences to Laurie's children, family, friends and collegues. Respectfully,

I didn't know you Laurie, but just as a member of McKesson, I wanted to say God bless you and I hope that your family will soon be able to find some comfort in this situation.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Laurie's family and friends during this difficult time.  May Our Father wrap his arms around all of them and give them strength during this time.  I enjoyed working with her in the Texas office.  She will be greatly missed.

Laurie was my NYU classmate, friend and Director of our Southern California Practice for a number of years. Laurie was known for her brilliant intellect and legal judgment and was a trusted and loyal friend. She will be missed, both professionally and personally.

Laurie, you will be missed tremendously. You brought great insight and passion to the job. My heart and prayers are with your family. God rest your soul.

Laurie, we didn't know each other long but I will always remember your kindness, grace and empathy for others.

Laurie, I've been very fortunate to know you for the past ten years in Los Angeles.  You were a great and inspiring woman.  I watched you raise your sons Andrew and James to be fine young men.  You  will be deeply missed by all of us who enjoyed your brilliant mind and your kind heart.

Dear Laurie, I only actually met you and your two boys once a few years ago when we spent a week's holiday in Provence where my son Paul had rented a house.  The memory of that time has stayed with me because I just loved meeting you, Andrew and James.  I could see what a wonderful bond you had with your sons and how much they loved being with you.  I became a friend of yours on FB and enjoyed hearing about the travels you did with your sons and all the fun things you did together.  Dear Laurie you will be so missed by your family and all who loved you. RIP.

You were very special to all of us in our office.  We were a small group, but you somehow united all of us.  We're going to miss you.

Laurie, you were a wonderful mother, colleague, and, friend. You were taken from us far too soon and not a day will go by that I won't think about your kindness, your smile, and your lust for life. Miss you terribly but so happy that you are at peace now.

The time that we spent together competing on Moot Court in law school continues to be among my best memories.  Your intelligence, humor and grace will be missed.  My deepest sympathy to your family.

Laurie, you were such a dear friend in high school. I have such fond memories of our lunches, playing on the varsity basketball team together and hanging out on the weekends. I pray you are at peace now. My condolences to your sons and your family.
