Knowing Laurie and memories of her is an honor. My friendship with her through the Ohl family always brought a smile to my face and a wish for more time with her. I am saddened by the void left with Andreas as well as with the balance of the O'Byrne and Ohl families.
May the continued memories of Laurie be a blessing.
My heartfelt condolences. Alan C Verbit
