Not sure what to say?

May God bless you and your family in this difficult time of sorrow.

Laurie has always had a great Irish smile. It's in her eyes. Her spirit was infectious.

Miss Sullivan was my teacher for Reading/Language Arts at West Junior High in 1984-85. Such a fun teacher! I think I had a 7th grade crush on her, but that wasn't the only reason it was my favorite class! Engaging discussions, memorable stories (how her mother caught shoplifters at Henessey's), and weird/fun activities (writing epitaphs). But the most beautiful memory of that year was her loving empathy for a member of our class who was called out into the hall to learn that her mother had...

Mrs Rossberg (who later let me call her Laurie) was the person that taught me what it means to be a leader, teacher, and mentor. All things I have brought into me current work as an educator. Maybe most importantly, she instilled me a love of running. I was unable to make the service today but was honoring her legacy as I ran a 21k run in Big Sky. And I couldn´t forget my "Irish Luck". To Gerry who hardly said a word but always opened his home, Stephanie K and all the other family and friends...

Ev and James Graham are sorry for your loss she was a great friend and teacher.

I am so sorry for your loss, Gerry. Laurie was a sweetheart. I did not know she was ill. I love ya, Gerry.

Laurie, Your warmth, Your compassion, and Your friendship were gifts to us all. I pray we can all find the strength in the love and memories you shared. Memories none of us will ever forget. Your passing leaves a void that words cannot fill.

I don't know that there was ever one who didn't know Laurie in some way or another...a teacher, a friend, a classmate.

She had such a sense of humor, taught so well, her laughter will echo, linger on. Will all miss her.

She fought a courageous battle, she has admiration from many. Fond memories and our sincere sympathy to all her family
