This is the anniversary of you going to heaven. I wish I would have been with you at the end to say goodbye. I didn´t know you were that bad. I think of you often and miss you so much. We had so much fun. Singing, dancing, drinking and great parties. The golf cart crawl you started, the birthday parties, our nights at the horseshoe bar and playing music. The night a limo picked us up for Gary´s birthday. Our trip with our granddaughters to Disney and the Tea party, the little girls makeovers in their princess dresses. All so much fun. So many good times. You help me get a teaching job at Garden Grove. What a great friend. I remember the times we planned to buy land and all our friends would build houses in a circle with a bar in the center. Also we planned on having a party boat at Lake Ashton back lake. I do forget who was suppose to be the Captain. Great memories! Hope Heaven is playing Margaritaville and you are dancing. Miss you and love you. . Your friend from Ohio. Candy and Gary

To Laurie’s family, you don’t know me but I wanted you to know I first met your dear sweet Laurie when we were twelve. I will always remember her engaging smile and her sense of humor never to be underestimated. She was the delight of any encounter and filled with quick whit. Her smile always lit up a room. She is loved and will be missed as we carry on. But we are blessed to have had her in our lives for awhile. Peace be with you.
