Dear Jan, Ken, Ashely and Family, My heart goes out to you for your loss of precious Laurie, the Healer of Hearts. Her late Grandmother, June Reinhart, told me that Laurie taught her more than anyone she ever knew. She told me she learned patience, compassion, accepting things as they were by making things better and most of all LOVE. She was a special little person sent from God to help us overlook our and others shortcomings by reaching for the hand of God. We love you and miss you, Laurie.Enjoy your new joyous life!

Dear Laurie I can't come to grips on saying goodbye but can say I'll see you soon one day. You was like a big sister to me and for that I want never forget you. You've been through so much and I knew sooner or later that the maker was going to call you home and I 'm so glad he did. Ijust want you to remember how much you have helped me in life and how you have imspired me to a better person on the inside out.
