I was deeply saddened to read about Laurie's passing. I have not seen her for several years but have fond memories of her working as a volunteer at swim meets for the Syracuse Masters Swim Club. She was a wonderful person. My condolences to the family.

I was so saddened to hear of Laurie's passing. W have many wonderful memories of her singing with our Praise Group, Grace Alone. She participated in the recording of the Grace Alone CD in the 2002-2003. She loved music - and we loved her quick wit. She will be missed. We think of her and remember her lovingly. God speed, Laurie. You are dancing in "Fields Of Grace" now. Your friends in Grace Alone.
