Laurie Hilton Devries

Jim & Christine, I am so saddened to learn of Laurie's passing. She was a total angel to me and I loved her dearly. She was the catalyst that heled me get sober 26 years ago. What a wionderful sprit.

Laurie was my friend. We lost track of one another, and I just googled her name hoping to find her. I don't know what to say, just that I loved her, and I feel horrible that I haven't talked to her lately. My heart is broken for her family. I have so many wonderful stories from teaching third grade with her at Polk City Elementary. Laurie, Norma, Suzanne and I were the greatest team. They called us the "Golden Girls". I was a better person simply because she was my friend! Kimberly

I am very sorry to hear of Laurie's passing. I have so many fond memories of her and your family starting in 4th grade. I remember Mr. Hilton taking us skiing to a bed and breakfast and many, many sleep overs at your house. I still think of Laurie often. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.

To Laurie's family,

I was principal at Polk City Elementary SChool and had the pleasure of working with Laurie when she first started there. She was a wonderful teacher and colleague. I was so sorry to hear of her passing. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Christine, Jim, Mr, & Mrs. Hilton----We are so very sorry for your loss of Laurie....there are just no words to make the pain go away. We have so many fond memories of our times together...of course, the most memorable were at FSU. We are saying special prayers for each of you. Barry & Carole(Drda) Schuepbach

My sincere sympathy for your loss. I too met Laurie back in Pittsford and she grew into a wonderful and talented woman who shared her love and talent with all around her.

So sorry to read of Laurie's passing. My thoughts are with your family...

Jim, Christine, and The Hiltons. I am so sorry for your loss. Laurie was my best friend for many years when we lived on Laureldale. We lost touch with each other but I think of her often. I will miss her being in this world.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
