There are many memories I have of Laura during the years she attended Palatine High School. The last time I saw Laura at a PHS reunion she was, as always, full of energy and meeting life full steam ahead. Her time on earth was a gift to many - may the good memories you have of her carry you through this difficult time.
My condolences to all of her family.

Although i never met Laura I've heard good things about her, and it's always hard when a member of the SB family passes away. I've gone to Camp Ability/Independence for the past 11-12 years and if i would've been able to go this past summer i would've been able to meet Laura.
Your family and Laura's friends will be in my thoughts and prayers.
