Ms. Laura Karene Bass

My best friend love her so much. Knew her since I was 15. Lived down the street. Drove her to school everyday. Spoke with her upto the nite.

I think of you all of the time my friend. I still can not believe that you are not here. I wish I could talk with you one last time. My heart is so sad

sending prayers for her son Richard

Laura, I am so saddened and still heartbroken about what happened. I was always a big fan of yours ever since I was little. You were beautiful on the outside and inside. You were always my ideal wife goals. A real life Wonder Woman. You touched so many people not just in bodybuilding, but in life too. I wish I could have hugged you and said how much you mean to so many people. I love you and your family. Rest with the angels, and your family and friends are in my prayers

We are stunned by this tragedy and our prayers and deepest sympathy for the family and especially son Richard. We have known you since 1978, when I first started working for the Parade, and are stunned at the loss. May God bless and comfort those who mourn.

We knew you since you were a kid, part of our Parade family a very special part of our lives. You, Glenn and your mom and dad were dear to us. We will miss you. We laughed and cried with you and now cry for you. Peace to you Laura.

Laura ~ as profoundly sad as I am to hear of your passing, I can only take comfort that you, Glenn, your grandmother and parents are all together in heaven, rejoicing and joking around again. You all are very special to me and I have never forgotten the laughs and joy we shared. You are and always will be one of a kind `~ a rare beauty with incredible passion in whatever you chose to do! Death is not the final word, it is not the end, it is physical loss and I know I will see you all again. Rest now and may you be at peace.

My heart breaks and goes out to her friends and family... an earth angel gone too soon..RIP my friend..u will surely be missed

Almost 38 years ago, we met and became fast friends. While we lost touch at times during our adult life, our recent reconnection in January was like no time had ever passed. Your beauty was both inside and out and your love of animals was exceptional. Your son was the light of your life and my heart and prayers go out to him. May you be at peace with Glenn and your parents in God's kingdom.

Laura - I will treasure our memories and our last conversation. I will miss you dearly, you were always more of a sister than a friend. You were such a beautiful person inside and out. I loved your feisty spirit, I loved your love of animals - who knew you were a camel whisperer! I will carry you in my heart forever. Rest in peace my angel.

Laura, I am so grateful to have known you and called you friend. We had so many laughs and inside jokes. I will forever cherish our talks from kids, fitness, animals to baking. The Fake Icing' lol.just one of many laughs we had❤ You are one of the most caring people I know. Richard, you were her everything!!! Rest easy now sweet friend. I'll miss you forever.

Laura you were an incredible friend to me and so many others. Your laughter and your smile was so contagious and I will miss them both. All of our talks about your Richard and my boys I will remember forever. My boys will always remember you as “Moms Camel Friend” Gone way to soon my sweet friend.

So many memories with Laura. Reflecting, I feel blessed to have shared some incredibly fun times that will always offer me a smile. Your spirit truly was one of a kind. I love how it seamlessly reconnected myself, my mother and my brother with the inner "kid" in ourselves. You've brought so much love and joy in our lives, and you will always be family to us. You'll be missed more than I will ever be able to express in words, and you'll also be in our hearts forever. ❤

Laura- always to me a sister, and gone far too soon. We had so many more things to do together. I will love and miss her always.

My dearest and beautiful Laura, you will always be loved and mean so much. Never to be forgotten. Rest in peace.- Sylvia E. Toyos Freitag

I am so sorry to hear this news. We also just found out that Marion passes away on September. My mom Angela Byrne taught with Marion in Westfield ans Roselle Park. I have many fond memories of Laura and I growing up together at her house in Moutainside, and at the house in the poconos. We had no idea of Marions passing, she used to be in my moms redhead group. We are so sorry for all your the great loss your family has suffered. Is there someone we can contact?
