Two years ago you were fighting "C". 
Missing you, but I know you are around me often. I pray for Steve and the boys as they go through another Holiday season. You are their angel.

She was an excellent school direct for the day school. My son loved her and she is greatly missed.

Hey Steve, I don't know if you still look at this page any more, but I wanted to tell you how sorry I am about Laura.  She sounded like a wonderful woman.  You and your boys were very lucky to have her in your lives.  I can only imagine how lost you must feel.  But you should also feel blessed for the time you spent together.

Fellow Woodham HS friend, Corky Cruz, told Mark Cleveland who forwarded the sad news to me.  Even though I don't think I've seen Laurie since I graduated in 1977, I was always very fond of her.  It was inspiring to read of her life's many accomplishments.  It was also heartwarming to read all of these posts, many from other HS friends.  Laurie was very special!

She was beautiful and sweet!  I am so sorry for your loss!!

Because of a chance discussion I had with Laurie, my grandson is now an enthusiastic student at RDS. She was an angel for us that day and thereafter. Yes, her impact on the children will carry through many lifetimes.

Steve,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss.  Lauie was an amazing person.  We always had fun when we worked together at Cordova Mall.  My prayers go out to you and the boys.

I had the pleasure of attending High School with Laurie. We shared fun times on Teen Board and especially in Marine Biology class. She was a beautiful, intelligent and loving friend.  My prayers are with you at this time.

Our prayers are with you all.  We were so shocked to hear of Laurie's passing.  Our hearts are very saddened and go out to you.  She was a beautiful person and so much fun to be around.  Love and prayers, Bryan, Angie and Jacob Shirley

I was so shocked and saddened to learn of Laura's passing. I first met Laura in  the 9th grade in high school and had a dance class with her in college.  She was such a wonderful person and always smiling.

Steve,Grant and Parker,

It is with great sadness that I say goodbye to Laurie.  I worked with her from the beginning at RDS and know Parker and Grant.  I know she cherished her family and wanted only the best for you.  God bless you in this time of sorrow.

Steve, Parker & Grant,
I was stunned to read of Lauries passing in the bulletin this morning. Nancy Harper made a touching announcement as well. I had no idea what Laurie and your family had faced recently. I will miss her wonderful smile and spirit always displayed at the ball park or day school. She was truely special.

As hard as each of us will try and describe what a wonderful and loving person Laurie was...there just are no words. She was very special and one of a kind. My prayers of comfort to her family in the days ahead.

We have such wonderful memories of Laura and your family at the ballpark. What a beautiful person. We are praying for your family.

Lee and I are praying for your family. Such wonderful memories at the ballpark with Laura. She will be missed. Love to you guys.

Dear Steve and boys, Jeanne, Mark and all...Laurie loved you all greatly.  She was a tremendous person and a wonderful friend.  Her interest, enthusiasm and dedication brought made her shine.  Laurie always held a special place in my heart as a dear, dear friend.  My thoughts and prayers are with you all.  Much love, Lisa McKenzie Dampier

Will be praying for you and your boys. Laurie was a beautiful person.

I went to highschool with Laurie, was on Teenboard with her, and spent MANY days on Pensacola Beach with her!! One of the most sweet and giving souls I've ever met! I have no doubt that her legacy of kindness will be passed on to many. So sorry for your loss~ May God richly bless you with fond memories.

Laurie and I met when we were small children and back fence neighbors and became the best of friends. We spent countless days back then in our playhouses and teaching school to our Barbies and stuffed animals.  We are so very sorry and hope that your wonderful memories of her will comfort you. You are in our prayers.  Patti Green and Family, Pensacola.

Laurie was such a delightful person and a true blessing to RDS. I feel fortunate to have known her, she will be missed by so many. Her family will be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Steve, Parker and Grant. We were all so sorry to hear about Laurie. She was always so nice when you came to visit your parents in Michigan and we were able to visit too. All your fond memories will help you at this difficult time. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

To my best friend Steve and his two sons Parker and Grant,
It is hard to rationalize why such a wonderful and talented person like Laura was taken from you during the prime of her life.
Try to keep in mind the tremendous positive influence she had on so many people, and that she would want you to carry on that tradition so that her legacy will carry on forever.
Our thoughts and prayers will be with you always.
Dave, Jan, Joe and Jacob Figursk

Laurie was most gracious and kind.  Truly a blessing to Riverchase Day School and will miss her greatly.

She was a good friend and colleague here at RBA & Associates. I have many, many fond memories of her, especially her fun personality and her work ethic. She certainly was a person to be admired. I join Candy in saying my heart is also broken and will miss her. My prayers are with you.

I met Laurie in 2011 at RDS after learning of the great program she had in place for preschool, and enrolled my daughter. She was a loving light to children, parents & friends. Her memory will remain in the hearts of so many. Prayers of peace for your family.

Keeping Laura family and friends in my prayer's, she was such an awesome person, I went to Woodham with her and always remember her smiling.
