Laurie was a beautiful person. She loved her son with her whole heart and soul. Her mother was her rock and guide. Gone too soon from this world but she is now a guardian angel to her family and friends and will never leave your sides. God bless you Laurie until we meet again ❤❤

I met Laurie many, many years ago. She was my best friend growing up. Laurie, you were there with me for so many "firsts". We tried to figure life out together. I'll never forget you.

Margaret, My heart goes out to you. You were always there for Laurie. She loved you so very much.

I do not know what to say except I miss you now so much and will always think about you, how sweet, honest and caring to others you were. You left us too soon...

Laurie, your time here was much too short. With a child to raise and years of joy and laughter to experience, it is easy to question why you were taken so soon. Perhaps God needed a very special angel; one whose smile can light up the sky. You were much loved by those who had the privilege of really knowing you. Rest well with God my friend.

I only met Laurie recently, but she had that same great big warm smile that you have. She talked about you and Nolan so lovingly and often. You both were her world. She will always be watching over you and Nolan, always.. God Bless you my friend. I will miss you Laurie ... until we all meet again. xo

My dear sweet, beautiful Laurie. I will never forget the 1st time I met you, 14 & listening to music in your room with your 2 best friends Natalie & Courtney & I will never forget the last time me & you & youre mom were on the phone together Friday night laughing about all of our silliness. Oh dear girl I will miss our chats & the crazy banter we would use! You were the best mommy & made Nolan a priority & I realized that was the job for you, the one you loved & did so well. Nolan will never do without. I will miss your special way of cooking, laughter & humor. You were kind, giving & always willing to reach out to others. I loved you so much for this. I will never forget your beautiful eyes & when I look at Nolan I see you. I told you mom that you are now "Chef Angel." Laurie,my "ccjr." I will always hold you in my heart & be there for my best friend, your mom & will do anything I can for her & Nolan. With all my love, and one last time...love "cc" aunt Chel.....
I wrote your name in the sand,
but the waves washed it away.
I wrote your name in the sky,
but the wind blew it away.
So I wrote your name in my heart,
and that's where it will stay, always

I meant Laurie and Natalie years ago, while working together in the Hotel. We stayed friends, all though sometimes not as much as I wuld have liked. Life IS too short and we never know when a great friend or loved one will leave us. Bless you Laurie, you are now in our Lords arms and you may rest. Know that your friends and family will always be there for your son Nolan and Mom.
Stay as beautiful today as you always have been, Mind body & soul.
With much Love and Sadness

Laurie,

My heart hurts so much right now, I think about you constantly and try to figure out why you were taken from us so soon. You truly were the best friend anyone could have asked for and I feel blessed that we were brought together and were able to have the time we did. I love you, and ask that you watch over us. I will make sure to keep your memory alive for your beautiful son!
I love you so much and will see you again someday.
