You will always be missed Laura, and are one who not only became a great friend in Everquest, but one who, along with Draven, kept my interest in playing and being a part of SD even more special.

Best guild leader and great friend and am blessed to have our paths cross.

When it is my time to cross, have a spot for me in the raids you plan my lady!

Carla and Richard.
there are no words that can adequately express our sincere condolences on the loss of your lovely daughter. Laura was a unique and wonderful young lady who always exuded a joyous spirit. Her smile, her sense of humor and most of all her kindness and caring for everyone who entered her sphere will always be remembered... earth has lost a special spirit but heaven has gained a bright and special star.
All who knew her will keep her fondly in their hearts as a true friend and will miss her dearly.
Our thought and prayers will stay with wou during this very difficult time.

I wish to express my heartfelt condolences to Laura's family. I am deeply saddened to hear of her passing. I remember Laura's bright, spirited personality during her high school years, and always thought she would make a significant contribution in whatever direction she chose. It is truly tragic that she has passed so young.
