Laurie loved music - playing piano, flute and singing through most of her life.
We praise God that she is now again able to walk, run, laugh, play piano and sing with her mom, aunts and relatives. That she is forever free of pain, being the musician again that she was born to be.
Always in our hearts and prayers - until we are together again.
