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!

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 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 sympathy.

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.

Although we only had a chance to work together on a few occasions, Laurie was a welcome and wonderful addition to the law department and to MSH. I am deeply saddened that she is gone too soon, and my thoughts are with her sons and her family at this very difficult time.

I enjoyed getting to know Laurie across the table on a deal in the not too distant past. She was always warm, gracious, professional, conscientious, smart, and a pleasure to deal with. My thoughts and wishes for strength go to her family and all who knew her.

Laurie, Our roots go back to your Brobeck days and last year I was so pleased to recruit you to McKesson. A brilliant mind and sharp business acumen coupled with grace, empathy and kindness. And oh how you loved those sons! You will be missed.

Laurie, I've been very fortunate to know you for the past ten years in Los Angeles. You were a great and inspiring woman. I watched you raise your sons Andrew and James to be fine young men. You will be deeply missed by all of us who enjoyed your brilliant mind and your kind heart.

Dear Laurie, I only actually met you and your two boys once a few years ago when we spent a week's holiday in Provence where my son Paul had rented a house. The memory of that time has stayed with me because I just loved meeting you, Andrew and James. I could see what a wonderful bond you had with your sons and how much they loved being with you. I became a friend of yours on FB and enjoyed hearing about the travels you did with your sons and all the fun things you did together. Dear Laurie you will be so missed by your family and all who loved you. RIP.
