Not sure what to say?

I knew Laurie in elementary school! She was the smartest girl that I knew. If no one in the class knew the answer of a certain question asked by the teacher, Laurie always knew the answer!

I went to school East Jr High,then Downey High School. Laurie was a kind friend,she will be missed. Kathy Hathaway- Kline Class of DHS 1978.

Laurie...Thanks for taking (and teaching) me skiing for the first time in 1990 in Deer Valley. I appreciate your emotional support during my major milestones in medical school/residency/fellowship. I appreciated our long talks!

Laurie was a wonderful person, I worked closely with her during her time at MSH. She had great ability to stay calm but at the same time bring tremendous focus to resolving tough issues. She had a great sense of humor and delightful presence. She will be missed!

Laurie was such a great colleague at our firm, -- always able to bring a sense of order and organization to even the most "narly" transactions, and always calm, poised and gracious throughout the process. She was gifted in so many different ways and I admired how she was able to balance work demands with family life and interests outside of law. I offer my sincere and deepest sympathy to her family and loved ones at this time.

Laurie and I practiced law together for several years. Everyone at the firm knew, if we had a difficult legal problem, Laurie would be able help us to work though it. She was a great lawyer and colleague. We wish her family and closest friends comfort though this difficult time.

Laurie and I became good friends in law school, where Laurie was well liked and respected by all. She was truly amazing and her loss will be felt by many. My deepest sympathy to Laurie's family.

Laurie and I met at a McKesson Leadership dinner in Charelston, SC last May. I had the pleasure of sitting beside her at dinner and we had such a lovely conversation. Getting to know her that evening had a profound impact on me and I just want to offer my sincere condolences for the loss of such a lovely lady! May peace and strength surround you and your family during this very difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends, Laurie.

With my deepest...

Dear Laurie, Two handsome, smart, and active little boys - each with their own fabulous sense of humor, became amazing young men under the wisdom and strength of your maternal wings. Your loving, kind, and happy spirit was your gift - a gift that lives on in them, and in everyone who had the pleasure of knowing you. You lived your life well and you'll never be more than a thought away. I wish you peace, my friend.
