Ms. Laura Karene Bass

My best friend love her so much. Knew her since I was 15. Lived down the street. Drove her to school everyday. Spoke with her upto the nite.

I think of you all of the time my friend. I still can not believe that you are not here. I wish I could talk with you one last time. My heart is so sad

sending prayers for her son Richard

Laura, I am so saddened and still heartbroken about what happened. I was always a big fan of yours ever since I was little. You were beautiful on the outside and inside. You were always my ideal wife goals. A real life Wonder Woman. You touched so many people not just in bodybuilding, but in life too. I wish I could have hugged you and said how much you mean to so many people. I love you and your family. Rest with the angels, and your family and friends are in my prayers

We are stunned by this tragedy and our prayers and deepest sympathy for the family and especially son Richard. We have known you since 1978, when I first started working for the Parade, and are stunned at the loss. May God bless and comfort those who mourn.

We knew you since you were a kid, part of our Parade family a very special part of our lives. You, Glenn and your mom and dad were dear to us. We will miss you. We laughed and cried with you and now cry for you. Peace to you Laura.

My heart is absolutely broken. I am in shock of your passing. I plan on paying tribute to your beloved Father Manfred in my book - and I am so very sad that you will not be able to be a part of telling this story. Having your blessing now means more than ever before. I promise you will smile upon the finished work. To your Son - Richard and your family - my prayers and deepest sympathy.
