Laurie was a bright and shining light in my life for the time that I knew her. We met in York Beach and we imediatly connected. We could make each other laugh all day. I can honestly say that she made me a better person in the time we knew each other. I'm sad to lose my friend and sad that she is no longer in this world. The world was a better place when she was here.
Always will love you laurie and will keep a special place in my heart for you.
