To Laurie’s family,



I am so shocked to receive the news about the passing of Laurie. I had the pleasure of working with Laurie at Sony back in ‘80's. She was always smiling, cool, professional and caring the people working together. Only sometimes she was like a nagging mother by saying ”Harry , no, no ,no“ with her fingers waving…., but that was only when I was so hot and excited….!!



Please accept my deepest condolences,



Harry Machida

Dear Ken and family,



I just learned today of the passing of Laurie and wish to convey my deepest sympathy.

I remember Laurie as a college student while working with her mom and more recently as a fellow employee of Sony. She was truly a lovely person from the heart out.

My prayers are with your whole family.

Dear Ken and family,



It is with great sadness that we have just now received news of Laurie's passing. Although our contact with Laurie was somewhat limited and infrequent, she was always gracious and kind to us when we had the occasion to speak. While words alone are inadequate at times like these, know that all of you will be in our prayers in the days ahead. Ken, take solace each and every day in the knowledge that your children are an outstanding and living testament to her life.



With deepest sympathy,

My heart literally aches for you all. It may sound 'cliche' but I have thought of you and your family all night. The one thing I keep reminding myself, is that you all have such a strong family support system and that your sister, Laurie was not alone. You all walked with her thru this and embraced her with love and support that comes only from deep within your hearts. I'm sure she knew that she was more than loved, she was cherished and adored. She will always be with you all, in so many ways. May the God of comfort and tender mercies carry you & sustain you on His everlasting arm.

Please accept my deepest condolences,

There are no words that will ever be able to convey the heartache and loss that we are all feeling. You were the perfect mother, wife, daughter and sister and I only pray I can somehow be half the person you were to Danny, Megan and Michael, Ken, Mom and Dad. I will look after them all for you Laurie and try to do my best but it will in no way replace you. I miss you so very much.

Love,

Linda
