Laura Hashim Shakun

I only met Laura once, but I was very impressed by her spirituality. She was so deeply and unabashedly connected to God.

She was also a very gracious hostess, and a wonderful cook!

My deepest sympathies to Laura´s family!
Will always remember my dear university friend, who sadly left our world too early...

Laura will forever be my dear friend, as I will always have the fondest memories of her. She was a truly wonderful person!!!

Dear Mary,
My deepest condolences at the loss of Laura. May her beautiful spirit be with you always. I believe the love you shared will live on.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Mary, Sonya and Wally,

I knew Laura at Kent University between the years of 2000 and 2003. I remember that I didnt really know many people when I first started, I was feeling so alone and contemplating changing Uni's. When I met Laura she made things so much better..she was always inviting me to go out for a coffee or lunch and introduced me to others which also made me change my mind about staying. The last time I heard from Laura was when she was in London a few years ago..we never did get to meet up and I so regret that now.

Laura made a difference in the lives of others and will be truely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the rest of the family.

I haven't seen Laura for at least 15 years but I never forgot her. We went to fleming together and I will always remember her sweet spirit. I will pray for her and your family. Also to Wally, you are in my thoughts.

To Mary, Sonya, Wally and Svetlana.

Earth has boundaries of territory and time,
limits of vision and understanding.

ETERNITY has no Customs Post:
its frontier beyond forever;
its harbour safe in storm and tempest;
its peace beyond our comprehension.

This now is Laura's homeland -
A little brighter for her smile;
More happy for the kindness residing in her eyes;
The beauty of her spirit now in perfect light.

May she rest in peace.


You and Laura are in our thoughts and prayers.

From cousin Sheila Spelman O'Connor, Husband Frank and our extended family.

Laura and I were friends in our Saint Columbas days.

My sister and I have many fond school memories of Laura.

We are so very sorry to hear of your loss.

Dear Mary, Sonya and Wally,
I am so very sorry to hear about Laura. I, too, remember her beautiful smile that made the day seem bright even on the darkest day.

If you find that you miss me,
Always look at the sun that rises in the morning
And the moon that rises in the evening.
Whatever the time, I will be reflected in the sun and the moon.
And let us meet in our next life.

Love, Valerie

Mary, Sonya, Wally and Svetlana, regretfully I knew Laura for such a short time. But on the occasions I was with her she always gave of herself by taking such an interest in our conversations and she was always able to bring a smile and a laugh to the situation. She was a very special person and she will be greatly missed.

Deepest sympathy

Dear Sonya and family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you always.

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
Mary Frye 1932

oh Laura,

You released your seat belt far too soon,
it might seem to those left behind.
But your sacred spirit imparted such gifts
that you’re always here to nourish and guide!

It will take me at least a lifetime to catch up to you. Thank you for the blessing of knowing you, Dear Friend!

All the best in your new Home!

with friendship, love and singing to you,

....like a Butterfly, you are.....

Laura,
I cannot believe you're gone from this earth - you were my best friend, my soul sister and the only person who could make me belly laugh. I adore you and I will always adore you for ever. You were the best sissy in the entire world, even if I had a million sisters, you would always be the best one. I love you so much, Pookie. I hope you are at peace now.

She was a beautiful soul!

Laura, there are no words in the Penguin dictionary to describe my feelings of loss for you, my precious Princess. I hope you find the happiness in Heaven that you never found on earth. I love you always.
