Joe, Pat, Glen and the Newman and Franek families,
I'm so sorry to have heard of the loss of your beloved Laurie.I didn't know she had passed until after the services occurred.
I did not know Laurie personally but knew her parents from NSP and playing 500. They had shared over the years of how Laurie was a fighter and was not going to let MS determine who she was and what her life would be.
As one who rode in numerous MS TRAM rides, I knew what MS was.
Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers.
