Laurie Beth Silverman

Laurie, I met you in a Facebook feminist community and will never forget the joy and light your smile and indomitable spirit gave to those daily discussions.

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

She was special indeed, going to miss our chats and the hugs...enjoy your highest level of paradise, u have well deserved it !!!

I did not know Laurie well but was sad to hear of her illness and passing. I knew her as a very active lesbian in our San Francisco Bay Area Community. Sending my blessings to her, and to her many friends and family.

I never met Laurie Silverman from New Trier-West'75, but I check the obituaries online everyday looking for New Trier graduates. She led a heroic life that I think more alums should know about, so I posted her obit in Facebook on the New Trier High School Classmates in Memoriam page. If nothing else, I hope it will generate more memorial contributions to the organizations she loved, Bob Gross NT'67

Laurie, you forever changed my life, from the moment I met you, to helping continue my life Journey, words are immeasurable, I love you Laurie

I miss my friend, yet I hear her deep sonorous voice in my heart. She has been a loving friend to me for 5 decades. Our lives are so brief yet make such an impact. I am in mourning. The importance of those formative years from age 10-18, we were very close, she is embroidered into my heart. I am grateful for then and that we reconnected these last 25 years. My life is enriched with Laurie in it. My selkie woman friend, I will see you again.

It's hard for me to believe that she's gone. She's now resting in peace. Condolences to her loved ones!
