Laura Kathleen Anderson

Alison, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. Condolences to you and your family.

As one of Laura's few nieces (only niece, perhaps), I was always sorry that I couldn't have spent more time with her. We lived a continent away and were separated by circumstance. But her kindness and generosity to me will always be remembered. She was a regular correspondent, who was thoughtful and genuine in her words. She was a leader in her commitment to nature and the plight of the First Nations. The land that she made home was far from where she started, but clearly, she always brought...

Very sorry to hear of Laura's passing. I well remember her employment at the B.C. Social Services Division on Fort Street, many years ago.

Mark, Alison and Julian, Sorry to hear of your loss. I worked with Laura at Services for Seniors and have fond memories. Always helped in arranging our luncheons with all past co-workers.

Julian, I remember your mother very well and her smile and her friendliness whenever I saw her, whether she came into our office or I ran into her elsewhere!! So sorry for your loss.

Dear Mark, Alison and Julian, I don't need to tell you how much your mother's friendship meant to me. It began when I offered her a ride home when we both worked at Services for Seniors on Fort St. Since we were both going in the same direction this became a regular occurrence. We had both grown up in England and she was very familiar with Devon, my birthplace and on a holiday to Devon to visit her sister took the time to visit my mother for me. Over the years we became very close friends...

Mark, Alison & Julian - My condolences to all of you. I remember your mom as such as sweet lady who loved her garden including when all of you lived on the Gorge near the bottom of Millgrove Street. She will be missed by all who knew her.
