I heard this news from my sister, who also knew Lara. Lara and I were friends years ago in Vegas - started a childrens theater group and performed every Friday night at Chuck E. Cheese. I will never forget her "Wolfie" character - and I could never forget Lara. My sympathies to her family.

Words cannot express my sympathy for those who loved Lara the most; Mel, Mark, Ron, Wyatt, Nick, and April - my heart goes out to you. I was one of her biggest fans, you know. She was not only my sister-in-law, but also my friend. I will always remember those dark eyes and how they seemed to smile on their own when she did. I will miss her forever, as we all will, but whatever your belief - know that she is in a far better place, cheering us on and waiting backstage for us to finish our performances.

Lara was one of those rare people who always made me want to be a better person. Her creative works, her kind treatment of others, and the positive messages she sent daily into the community always made me try anew whenever I came into contact with her. She was loved, and she made a difference. It was a life well lived. Ron and Wyatt, thank you for all the years you shared her with us. We all share your sorrow.
