Thinking of Lolly like crazy today. She would be pumping us up for the Games, keeping us in shape and enjoying springtime hikes. She's with me, as I go through life, and hold her closely in my heart. Karen, Leon, Kara, Erek- missing you and thinking of you so much. The world has been emptier in so many ways in the last year. xo Isa

Dear Borowski Family
Thank you for sharing Lara and creating a person with a beautiful personality.
She has been an inspiration to living her life to its fullest and making sure everyone that is around her feels special, sharing the love, and positive attitudes. Positive attitude provides hope that the possibility to continue to do what you want, and let nothing stop her from accomplish exactly what she puts her mind to meet her dreams, and goals.

She is a ray of sunshine when she walks in the room.

I dedicate the photos in memory of Lara, and her life is also reflect and is part of everyone at her Celebration fro life.

Today was a beautiful day so filled with love for Lara. It was exactly what she would've wanted- redwoods, outdoors, pictures, music, many, many friends, and tons of food. I have loved Lara through many highs and lows, and have learned to love you all as well. My deepest care goes out to you all. xo Isa

Dear Karen, Leon, Erek, Kara, and family.
Karen and I were saddened to hear of Lara's passing. I ran into Helen & Bob Sinclair who had just attended her service. Lara was such a sweet person and I know was very special to all of you as she was to your mom Isabelle. Many were blessed to have known her. Our thoughts are with you at this time and you have our deepest sympathy.

Life will never be the same. Thank you for sharing Lara with us and for creating such a beautiful person who changed my life. I still can't believe it...

Dear Leon & Karen, My heart was broken this week when I read about Lara. Having lost Brian years ago, I feel your pain personally. I've not seen any of you for some time, but my thoughts and prayers have alwasy been with you. I hope the rest of your family is doing well. We will be unable to celebrate Lara's life with you on Saturday personally but we'll be there spiritually. Please be assured that broken hearts eventually heal, but there is always a small scar left behind which is a blessing. Love, Ken & Carol Soult
