Laurel B. Zechlinski

Ron,
I don't know if we ever met, but I am a classmate of Laurel's. I wanted to let you know how saddened I am to hear of her passing. I met her in 6th grade, and she was one of the most kind and gentle souls I have ever known. Although we did not remain close my sadness is quite deep and my sympathies to you profound. God Bless you and God love Laurel.

Ron I am so sorry to hear about Laurel's passing. You will be in my thoughts.

Ron, I can't begin to imagine your hurt and sorrow at losing such a wonderful person as Laurel. Know that we are hurting with you and she will be forever missed. She kept the spark of insanity alive on the dull, down days. It may have only been a complaint about work or shoveling llama poop, but it was related to us in a way that always brought a laugh.
Laurel, you were the best friend I never met! I miss you my friend but I know we'll meet in the future.
On the way back...

Dearest Laurel, I'm so talked and cried out, that I now don't know where to start. You have so very often made us laugh when we didn't think there was any laughter in us. I can't begin to tell you how very happy Ron and I were when you sent us that first personal e-mail saying that you really were happy to be a part of our little group of rejects, how you were unsure at first, but then realized that we are a lot of fun and just what you needed. And you were what we needed also. I am sad...

I miss you Laurel. We shared some painful memories from when we were young that bonded us close together. I shall always remember you with love and (((HUGS))), so go with God.

My buddy Laurel, I will miss you most when you would be telling me of adventures with the llamas. We shared quite a few laughs and you were right there with the Pasty Rejects when I had cancer. I wish you love, the joy of being with Christ our Savior and know all of us online feel as if a huge chunk is missing. love, margaret (the crazy one from Texas)

Dear Ron,
You have been in my thoughts and prayers since I heard of Laurel's passing. I feel like I've lost a family member even though we never met in person. Her daily e-mails were always a source of joy and humor in my life and I will miss her dearly.

Ron,
Laurel was a very special being in my life. Thank you sharing her with us on Pasty and our little reject group. I can not comprehend your sorrow and loss. May God watch over you.
