Laura Jean Schmidt

Although I only knew her briefly at Battle Mountain from the World Human Powered Speed Challenge I can say that she was always a joy to talk with. The energy that she had could not be matched. I still can't believe she is gone. My condolences go out to her family. It was a pleasure to have met such a wonderful person. If more people were like her this world would be a much better place.

Dear Connie, Lisa, Chuck, Brenda and Christine A heart felt sorrow for the loss of your Dear Daughter and Sister Laura. You are in my thoughts and prayers.............Lorelei Kulzer

I'm so sorry to hear this. I am a helper at the bike event. I've only known her a few years. She has moved mountains to help us. I will particularly miss her funny insightful and clever conversation.

On behalf of Team Cygnus who attended the World Human Powered Speed Challenge for the last couple of years, I would like to extend my and my teams condolences to Laura's friends and family. We have always admired Laura's hard working ethics and her love for the community and people living in it. She will be missed.

I'm a member of the Human Powered Vehicle competitors who meet annually in Battle Mountain to race high speed fully enclosed bicycles. Laura was a wonderful person to work with. I always looked forward to seeing her every year! She radiated her love for people and she worked very hard to make our event special for Battle Mountain and for our international group of athletes and innovators. We will miss her laughter and her "bright eyes and sweet smile". Our sincere condolences to...

I remember Laura from the early days living in Turf... she was one of my best friends... I never saw her again when we moved away in 1976. I'm so sorry to hear of her passing. My thoughts and prayers to her family~ Laurie O'Neil-Puckette

Dear Connie and family: I am sorry to hear of Laura's passing. My prayers and thoughts are with you. She is in The lords hands watching over everyone.
