Laurie Coleen Gaston

Mom... Words can not describe the pain I feel. A piece of me died with you. I know people say you will always be here with me but that doesn't come close to comforting me in the fact I can't hug, talk, or laugh with you. I am sure throughout my life I will cry tears of joy and sadness knowing you aren't going to be there for the important things like when I get married or have kids etc. I am so lucky to have such a great group of family and friends around me that loved you so much and...

Good-bye my friend. I will miss your smile and your love of life. You left this world a lesser place just by leaving. Thank you so much for being a part of our lives. I was so sad to learn of your passing today.

I'd like to say thank you, Laurie, for saving my life on May 12, 1991. I was 16 yrs. old then & was in a serious car accident. Laurie was the first at the scene to give me CPR. I met her sometime after being in the hospital for a month. I remember how petite she was & her bubbly personality. She was a wonderful woman that did many great things for hundreds of people in several different ways.

I was blessed to know Laurie and her laughter. She looked so forward to her "spa days" and leaving the stuggles of her treatments behind and it was truely an honor to help ease her mind and spirit on those days. I am so sorry to hear that she has left us and know that she rests in the hands of the Lord.

Words cannot describe....Laurie had a great spirit and was a pleasure to work with and be around. I will miss her.

Noella, Thinking of you. You are welcome to visit anytime. Love, sympathy and prayers.

Noella: If you come across this, know that I am thinking of your Mom each day and hope you are holding on as best as you can. Rememer the future is full of promise. We love you and hope to hear from you soon. Megan, Scott, Chloe & Spencer...

Laurie,
You've set the standards high for the rest of us to follow in your footsteps. You were a great leader, mentor, role model and friend. You'll be missed more then you'll ever know. I am so thankful for the years I had to get to know you at St. Peter's. My nursing is better because of you. Thank you for being you and not giving a hoot what others thought. You were truly unique.

Laurie,

Your impact on my life is great. I will miss our change of shift hugs, and your daily thoughts of life. You impacted so many people with your wit and charm. It is an honor and privilege to know you and be a part of your legacy. Thank you Laurie and God Bless!!
