Paul,
I was so sorry to read of Laurie's passing. The two of you put up a good fight. She was a delightful person and I'm sure it is very hard to let her go. May God be with you and the other members of the family in this time of grief. And may you find comfort in the many good memories of life with Laurie. Martha Musgrove
