Laura --
It's been a year now and all I can say is that I wish I had the pleasure of meeting you. I've heard so much about you, that I feel I know you, though. You're amazing. You're an inspiration. You're a loving friend. I've also heard you're a great dancer :-)
I know you are watching over your family. Your memory makes us smile.
Lots of love!

Hay-lo Core… What’s up? I wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas… in two days it’ll be five months since you left us and it feels like it was just yesterday. I look at Chrissy and Aunt Suzanne every Sunday and I see the pain of losing you every time I look into their eyes. It has been pretty hard on them. They miss you. I really miss you. We all do. Samer finished the other part of your DVD yesterday and I just finished watching it. All the good times and all the smiles make me wish you were still here. I know you are doing fine up in Heaven with God. I guess we will all be together eventually, but for now, all I can say is I love you, I miss you, and I pray you are watching over all of us. :)

Hi Sister,
I haven't written in here for a long time. I miss you so much. The season is changing and its now fall. I cant believe you are not here. Everyday the pain gets worse and worse--I miss you so much. I know you are reading this from heaven, I know you are watching over me right now-I have no doubt. I wish you were here though. Sometimes I feel like you are and I just havent seen you in a long time.. then it hits me like a ton of bricks that youre really not here. I miss you dearly. I love you so much. Please keep watching over us, we all miss you. We all need you....
Sister, always.

Hi Core... hmm, what can I say? It's been a while. So how have you been? I am okay, just really missing you. School started a couple weeks ago and I am a SENIOR... big whoop... ha ha. I don't even feel like one. I miss you. I mean I really miss you. I don't think anyone really knows how it feels to lose a close person until it happens to them. I never thought it would happen to me. As much as I tell myself that you are better up there with God, the more it hurts. It's just hard to believe you're gone... Anyway...I miss you, I love you!

-By the way, we lost to Parkland...BIG SHOCKER THERE!!! We won't talk about the score... :)

Core,

I dont even know where to start. Words cant explain how I feel. You were a sister to me, a sister I never had. I wish you were here with us....It's not a family without you. But I know we will see eachother again one day. Until then, I Love you & miss you so much. You'll always be in my heart forever & you'll always be my little sister.

Laura,

You are an angel. I know that you are with God now. I never forget your beautiful face and smile, walking into Church every Sunday. Your love for God was very special. God looked at you, his rose in his garden, and chose you as an example of how young people should live. Your love for Church, family and friends was wonderful.

Laura sweetheart, you left behind very good memories. The memory of when you told your mom, "mom I wanna go home". The Lord was calling you to come home, and that is where you had to go.

I never thought that I would ever have to attend Danny and your viewing in the church.

Your family is so sad without you. It breaks my heart when I see your sister walk into Church with your mother and father, and you are not with them.

Laura, I believe that you see my son, because you both shared the same beliefs. Tell Danny I will never be ok. A huge pece is missing from my heart. I will never be healed; nothing will be the same. On Sunday, 10th Sept. will be your forty days service. I still can't believe it. You will never be forgotten.

I love you so much. Nobody will take your place my angel Laura

Hey Core, how are you? I was listening to a song in the car today on my way to practice and it made me think of you, then when I got home, I was reading and that made me think of you too. I pulled out my 8th grade yearbook to find that you were the first one to sign it…back then your nickname was SOAPSUDS and I was BUBBLES or something… (we were so random)… It seems like no matter what, you are always on my mind. I am wondering where exactly you are, what you are doing, and if you’re okay. I really miss you Core. Tomorrow, it’ll be a month and I still really miss you, I will always miss you. I will always love you and even if I can’t hear you, I know you can hear me and you are probably sitting next to me right here as I write this. The harder I try not to cry when your name comes up or I think of our good times, the harder I cry. I guess I will eventually be able to smile and laugh when your name is mentioned, but now, I am still missing you. I really wish you were here… just know that I am thinking of you, I miss you, and I love you and no one can replace you as my best friend. Oh yeah, and Core, when we play Parkland, we are going to kick their butts…I love you times a million…Bubbles :)

Hey Core.....I just wanted to let you know that I love you and miss you so much from the bottom of my heart. I just pray to hear your precious voice one more time. I will never forget you for as long as I live and that is a promise.....I love you so much and you'll forever be in my heart.

August 9, 2006

Hi Core, well it’s been exactly two weeks now and I still can’t believe you’re gone. I really miss you and I wish you were here… I just want to talk to you and have you answer back…I know you are listening, but I wish I could hear you answer back…field hockey started on Monday and I have no idea who I am going to talk to on the way to and from my games… you were the one that pumped me up before a game and then made me feel better after we lost a game… I don’t know who I am going to call, or who’s going to call me….I miss you, I love you… Shahnaz

Could we ever forget your sparkling eyes

or the way you brightened each day,

or your smile which is etched in our memories,

so you're never far away?

Could we ever forget those priceless moments?

The answer, of course, is never.

For you were part of our lives for a brief time,

but you'll be part of our hearts forever.



god bless you Laura

Core - where do I start - to remember the good times, the bad the struggle and the courage you have shown us. Your life was taken away so young but you lived each moment until the end with a beautiful smile on your face. You never once gave up the fight or the will to be around the ones who loved you the most. You will truly be missed and thought of daily but we know that you are now resting in peace with God and watching and protecting your family. You truly are our Guardian Angel.



I could continue with memories of the times we've spent together, and the memories that Chrissy has always told me about. But those are now forever in our hearts and minds but and will be truly missed.



Core your where and always will be our beautiful daughter, sister, niece, cousin, friend and now our angel.



I love you



Zoudeh Family -

May God give you the strength and the ability to remember and forever keep Laura apart of your life in the memories you have. I wanted you all to know that i would of rather not of been anywhere else but to spend the last days of Cores Life with you all. She’s an amazing daughter and sister, and we know words can’t describe anymore what truly Core was to you all. May her memories be eternal and her smile never be forgotten.

Laura, you are and always will be my best friend. I love you so much and I will miss you alot. I will always remember when we used to vent to each other about everything that stressed us out. I dont know who I'm gonna talk to now and tell all my secrets ans stuff. You really are an angel. You were such an amazing person, friend, sister, and daughter. I admire your strength and courage, I dont know if I could have done it with the same grace as you did. I will try my best to follow in your foot steps and be as a good of a person as you were. I love you and always will. Rest now and will see you soon in the Kingdom of Heaven with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.



Chrissy, I also love you so much. Stay strong and if you ever need anything you know I am just a call away.



Aunt Susan and Uncle Boutros, you are the most amazing people in the world. You have so much strength. You raised an amazing girl and it was unfortunate that she was taken from us too early, but now she can rest and she is not in any more pain. Be happy for her that she is in a better place. Its ok to cry and be sad dont let people tell other wise but always remember that we will all be together soon.

I LOVE YOU!

To the friends and family of Laura, I did not have the blessing of knowing your sweet angel, however as I read these wonderful response of all that she has touched and the ending of her suffering my heart aches for all who knew her. She will forever leave an impression on everybodies soul. Although it is unclear why God does what he does, he has his reasons and he obviously needed a sweet beautiful angel up there now. Please find comfort one day in this wonderful poem. May god bless all of Laura's freinds and families. AMEN



To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...

but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.

Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.



Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.

Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.

That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,

God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."



It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.

As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.

I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.

There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."



God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.

And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.

And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.

God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.



When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years

because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.

But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.

Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.



I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.

But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.

But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.

I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.



There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;

but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.

It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...

that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.



If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,

then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."

And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,

knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.



So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,

just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.

When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;

I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.



And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,

remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Laura:

I can't image that I won't be seeing you with my two eyes with us any more with the Teens, at Church, or in the Dance troupe, but a person's love for another never fails to allow them to see their loved one with their heart even though they are not present with them physically. We all love you Laura, even though I wasn't able to get as close to you as others, especially during the dancing this year since you were unable to come to all of them, but still, I knew you since 5th grade Church School, we were together in the Church classes, dancing, and in the Nativity Plays, also everyone to me is a brother and sister since we are all the Children of God and are told by Christ to love one another. You are one of the strongest and bravest people I have ever meet. Your faith and hope in our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ remand stable and strong before and after your sickness. Now we know that your suffering is over Laura and that you are with Jesus Christ, in His warm and fatherly arms in Paradise. I know we will all be able to see you again soon, and we will all be together with God forever. And I know that you are watching over all of us now, especially your parents and siblings, who are left to suffer the thought that you have left them physically. But Uncle Peter, Aunt Suzanne, Omar, and Christine, do not worry. Laura is with God now and she has joined His Angels up in Heaven. She is still with you and has not left.

May the Lord have mercy on His faithful Servent's soul, Laura.

Love ya Sis.

I know right now none of this makes sense, and is so hurtful and seems so unfair but I pray and have faith that God will help us through this and help us see that it is a blessing that Laura's suffering has ended and she is with Our Lord Jesus Christ.



Chrissy-I know no one can ever replace your sister but please know that we are all your sisters and will be by your side through all things good and bad. I love you.

I can't even begin to explain how much of a shock it was to hear you passed.

I'll always remember 8th grade with you: At the lunch table, gym, music, and of course sewing class, when we would get in trouble for laughing to much with brittany.

im so sorry we lost touch.

ill never forget you or your gorgeous curls that used to remind me of a telephone cord :)

you were always such a beautiful person inside and out.

i pray for you and your family.

you'll forever be missed

Laura was a very sweet and loving person. Although I regretably have not kept in touch with her more recently due to class differences, I was good friends with her in 8th grade. I will always remember her beautiful curly red hair. All my sympathy to her family and all those close or associated with Laura. Deeply shocked at your sad loss.

The loss of this precious young girl leaves a large hole in this world that can never be filled. For a long time my heart was hurting for Laura, because I knew she was suffering. Yesterday that hurt did not go away, even though I knew Laura was no longer suffering. I realized, now my heart hurts for her family, because they are the ones left to suffer.



Laura, today I remember your beautiful smile. The smile that used to light up an entire room. A smile that used to make me realize that helping the youth was really worth all the hard work. Laura, today I realize that you were an angel walking on this earth, and you left an imprint on so many peoples lives. Laura, now you are an angel in the sky watching over those same people.



Chrissy, the love I have for you is unmeasurable, and it kills me that I cannot be there for you right now. It was a very rough year, and you have been so strong through it all. There were even times when you tried consoling me when I was supposed to be consoling you. I love you with all of my heart, and I will always be there for you. Continue your strength, and rest assured your sister is in a better place.



To the Zoudeh family, my deepest sympathy.



Lord,Our Savior Jesus Christ, please watch over our Sister!

Laura, Core, Hardcore, I met you way back when and we became the best of friends, even more than friends we became like sisters. You are one of the few people that I felt I could turn to. I will always remember the good times we had at our homes, while we were dancing, and during our Teen SOYO events. You are by far the strongest person I know and I am sorry for the suffering that you had to go through. I know that you are no longer suffering and you are in a safe place with our Lord where we will all be some day. Please watch over us and keep us safe. I miss you, I love you and I always will.

Zoudeh's, I am sorry about Laura and I know she is no longer with us physically, but now she can watch over us from above and be with us wherever we are. I love you and I will always be here for you. May her memory be eternal.

I know that Laura is with God in heaven now. I have had the honor and pleasure of teaching Laura all year while she was homebound. I have never had a sweeter, more hard-working student to work with. Her smile was contagious and her attitude was always so positive. It pains me deeply to see Laura's obituary today in the paper. She will be missed greatly and what a loss for our world to lose such an outstanding young person as she was. May God bless and take good care of her.

Just know you are all in my prayers & likewise your family at this sorrowful time.

I cannot even imagine how strange things are going to be now...I don't know why these things happen to such wonderful people. You are by far the strongest person I have ever met in my life, Laura. As hard as it is to think about this now...I know you are resting with our Savior Jesus Christ. Please watch over me and be my angel.

The Zoudeh Family,

I am so sorry for your loss...I will never find the right words to tell you because nothing will ever make it right. I love you so much and I just pray that the Lord watches over you and blesses you. I am here if you need anything and you know that.

Chrissy,

My best friend, my sister in Christ, my sister at heart, I love you so much and I am so sorry for what has happened. We have to try to remember that the Lord does everything for a reason and someday we will all end up with Laura in the Kingdom of Heaven. I am here for whatever you need. I love you again! BF4E-remember that :) Muah!
