Laurie Elizabeth Bourdet

I don´t actually remember the first day I met Laurie, but I do remember going to her high school graduation. She was always so fiesty and vivacious and occasionally cranky. I remember doing her hair all wrong for work when I stayed with her at her house for a weekend, and remember watching TV with her when I was staying with the family while looking for a house. My last memory of Laurie is when I visited her in the hospital recently and she was asleep. When I sat down next to her she opened one eye and said "Wesley", my name, smiled, and went back to sleep. I will miss you so much, Laurie. You were so much younger than me. I guess I thought you would always be around. I love you

She was just a babe on her mother´s lap or held in her dad´s arms when I first met her. Her smiles and the sparkle in her eyes is something I´ll never forget. The cute 80´s dance moves is a Laurie makes me chuckle moment! Only the sweetest of memories will live on, just as she deserves!!´ Love to the Bourdet girls!

My heart breaks for the loss of your beautiful daughter. I never had the privilege of meeting you both in person, but we were kindred spirits through our parents' group. Seeing photos of Laurie always made me smile. I pray that she is flying high with the angels, and that the good Lord will give you strength & peace during this difficult time. Our thoughts are with you. Joann & Scott Davis, New Jersey

I'm so sorry for your loss. I never met Laurie, but became friends with her mom Donna online, through our shared experience of being mothers of children with Down syndrome. My heart breaks for all who love this sweet, lovely girl. May your memories bring you comfort. Peace and love to you all.
