Laura Holleran

This is extremely sad news, it seems impossible that she is gone. I am so grateful for the many years of piano lessons, support, friendship, and encouragement I received from her, from the age of 10 and through my adult life. A monumental loss. I have missed her in my itinerancy, and now, in another way. So many memories- recitals, calligraphy, the music-themed chocolates she and Pat made, endless good spirits a most positive, merry, and sparkling person I have been so fortunate to know. I...

I am so sad to see this. I am a singer from CT who travelled to New York back in the 80´s on the bus for auditions in the city. Tom and I became bus friends and Laura and Tom communicated with me for many years. I always enjoyed hearing from Laura. I am so very sorry to your entire family for your loss

Laura became My Very Best Friend in the 7th grade at the Samuel Brown School.Peabody. Mass. Girl Scouts Universalist Church High school Boston and beyond. Good times and sad ones. Telephone calls, birthday cards Christmas letters I will miss Laura My very Best Friend. Love to her family.

Laura was such a wonderful person, who gave so much to people and to Musical Club. We will miss her great advice and warm welcomes.

My sympathy to all of Laura´s family. She was a friend and mentor to me. Laura was an active member of the Hartford Chapter of the Ct. Music Teachers Association. She and Patricia Gronback started the Audrey Thayer Competition, a highly competitive piano competition in the Hartford area. She was not only the president of the organization, but for many years she was the newsletter editor. Talented, bright, and witty! That was Laura!

Laura was one of my first friends at the New Britain Music Club, and Hartford Chapter, CSMTA, and such a warm, welcoming presence to a newbie piano teacher! I will be forever grateful for her support of my work in duo and 2- piano repertoire. She will be sorely missed.
