My life was forever changed by Laurie. Her laughter, the tilt of her head and her genuine kindness and caring for others will forever stand out in my mind. She was one of the finest and most gracious women I have had the pleasure of knowing. If there was anyone that I would want to model myself after it was her. She touched my life and my work life in an incredible and fun way. She was one of the best bosses and friends that I have ever had. I have missed her presence in my life and will continue to miss her now more than ever. Her endless energy and warmth will be forever missed. My sincere condolences to you all at this incredibly difficult times. Love and light to you all.

A book could be written about the impacts of Laurie's life on others. She jump started so many careers, always had a great laugh and beautiful smile. It would only take her seconds to dismantle anyone who thought she lacked equality because she was a women. And she did it in style. There are 100s of fond memories near and dear to my heart. Her star will shine for lifetimes to come. God thank you for sharing such a strong warrior with us. The planet is a much better place because of her.

Love you brother Steve. If you need anything at all, just call. To the kids, WOW, we are blessed she has a part of her in you. You will make her proud. You are the warriors she raised and you too will make your presence felt.

God Love you all!
