Before diabetes took such a toll, LuRie was a woman who knew how to get things done. She loved her entire family fiercely, and spent countless hours helping in various projects. She stood firm in her convictions and was inclusive in her activities and projects. Her advice and guidance were beneficial to so many. I hope she is at peace for I am not for the world is a lesser place without her.
