Hey Dave... Sorry to hear of your sisters passing. I only remember her as a young kid, about 7 or 8 and now she is young forever...

Dear Andrew, Jimmy and Jeanne,
I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. I don't know if you remember me but I was Laurie's niece. She was 4 years older than me and we grew up together. I have so many funny memories. When you were with Laurie you knew you it would never be be dull. The adventures she used to take us on...
