Lauri Waterman

To Don and Merle and family members, our heartfelt sympathy in the death of Lauri. It is so true that we never expect our children to leave this earth before us. Our prayers are with you and your family

My longtime friend - I miss you! It's hard to beieve that you are forever gone from our lives. We had many wonderful years together doing important things like being boy crazy teenagers, sharing our first apartment, and being maid and matron of honor at each others weddings. I always looked forward to visiting at the time of year when we both were in Tacoma - just like old times! I wish it could have been every year! I have lost a best friend who was like a sister (although three days older!)...

To my wonderful sister, Lauri. I will miss you very much and think of you often. I will miss your yearly summer visits, going shopping together and just being together. I will miss our long phone conversations and your big sister advise. You will always be in my thoughts and my heart. You will truly be missed. Much Love,
your sister, Lynette

My condolences to the Martelli family. I knew Lauri and her family when they lived on south 39th street. I played at her house many times. Her mom was my Girl Scout Leader. I lost track of her when they moved, seeing her a few times at the mall while we were in high school.
She always had a smile on her face, I will remember her from the last time we saw each other, so happy.
