I remember Laurie being one of the sweetest and sincere persons I've ever known. She always had kind words to say.  My deepest sympathy is with  your family as you grieve her loss. I will miss her dearly.


Laurie has been a friend for many years. She taught me about kindness, forbearance and courage. Laurie was much more glamorous than she gave herself credit for. It came alive in her when she sang. I’m blessed to have been her friend, and wish she had had time for one more adventure. 

I was so sad to learn that Laurie had passed away.  When I spoke to her last, a week or so ago, I knew that she was failing but she sounded at peace with the process.  I am so thankful that she had her sister with her through this difficult time and that her brother also visited her.  I have so many good memories of meeting Laurie for coffee at Panera's and getting together with Gulan, another sarcoma patient, and sharing our thoughts and ups and downs after we all had sarcoma surgeries about the same time.  Thankful that she shared her favorite winery with us both and we shared a lovely lunch out there.  Treasured memories of a sweet person!

I worked with Laurie for several years and enjoyed being around  her .  She was very caring and kind.  I am saddened to hear of her passing.  

I know when people lose someone they love its easy to remember only the good things about the person but the truth is my friend Laurie was pure goodness. She never had an unkind word and accepted her fate with dignity. She never forgot a birthday or the anniversary of my parents passing. We developed a very close friendship shortly after her mom passed and she told me I was the only one of her close friends that had lost their mom and would understand the complete devastation. We talked for hours each week. Sometime for 30 minutes sometimes until 4 am. I always let her decide the length of call as I enjoyed her conversations so much. We went on a rafting trip together. She was there when my babies were born and held them for hours while I was in the hospital. She never had children of her own but that never stopped her from being overjoyed for me becoming a mother. She visited on a few Thanksgivings and during the Christmas season in 2016 she visited me in Vegas. On said trip we went to Ethel Chocolate Factory and we sampled pecan brittle and we both loved it. I am allergic to peanuts so could never enjoy peanut brittle. We never talked about the pecan brittle again. Fast forward to my birthday this April. I got an unexpected package from her. My son thought it was peanut brittle and I thought to myself oh no she must be getting sicker as she knows Im allergic to peanuts and she had an excellent memory. Hubs said honey its pecan brittle from ethels chocolates. I then recalled the time we spent together there and memories flooded in. That was the thing about Laurie is she deeply listened to people. When I got results back from my background investigation for my job, I read her testimony and she recalled nearly everything about me even things I forgot about myself. She knew me well and with my faults she still loved me and still wanted to be friends. I will never forget her and deeply miss her. She has impacted my life in a beautiful way.
