Lori, as we know life isn't always fair; Age doesn't seem to be a determining factor. What does matter is that your family will always remember you and your son. Now that you're with your mom, she'll continue to take care of you and yours. Love, Aunt Alma and your cousins, Al and Allen

Laurie,

I remember your dimple-filled smile & the way you walked on your toes down the hallways of Central -- when you should've been in class :O) From reading the other guestbook entries, I can see that you will truly be missed.

You & I probably never spoke more than 10 words to each other, but you always seemed like a friendly person. I am still shocked to know that you're no longer with us.

The purpose that you were here to serve has been fulfilled. You are in a far more better place now. No more hurt & no more pain. You are now amongst the other Angels...

First, I would like to honor and thank God for the friendship that my dawg, Laurie and I shared. I will forever treasure the time we spent together on this earth.

Secondly, I will continue to pray that God will protect and bless your son, Keith, that He will supply his every need.

To the Cunningham family, God Bless you and may you find comfort in the Lord during this time of loss.

Laurie, I love you and look forward to seeing you and Mrs. Cunningham at the gates of heaven. Until we meet again. :)

Laurie,

You will be deeply missed by me. I haven't seen you since college, but I haven't and will never forget you either. You left behind a beautiful son. He's your little twin.

I will keep your family in my prayers. May God bless you and all of them.

God looked around his Garden and found an empty place. He then looked down upon his earth and saw your loving face dimples and all. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. His Garden must be beautiful now, he always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, he knew you were in pain. And knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw your path was difficult, he closed you tired eyes, He whispered to you "Peace be Thine" and gave you wings to fly. When I saw you sleeping so calm and free of pain, I would not wish you back to earth to suffer once again. You've left me precious memories, your love will be my guide. You live on through your child. You will always be by my side. It broke our hearts to lose you, but you did not go alone. For part of me went with you on the day God called you home. Laurie I meet you in the 6th grade .You were more then a classmate more then a teammate more then a friend you a special friend and we will always have our special friendship.

Birth is a beginning

and death a destination

And life is a journey

Laurie, I know that you will be looking down on us. You will truly be missed. You are starting your journey today and you will not be walking the path alone. Remember God is with you and he will protect you.

To the family.. be strong, keep the faith and hold on. Remember...His love endureth and his love is everlasting.

What can I say? I've known you since 3rd grade and I will never forget you. I have several memories of you, so I will share a few. Every time I think of you, I think of your beautiful smile and deep dimples. I think of coming over your house after school and during the summer. I think of you at my slumber parties. I think of us going to "Crystal Skating Rink". The innocent childhood memories I have of you will remain, for this is the Laurie I know. I speak in present tense because you are still here with us, just not physically. Physically, you were removed from the evil and suffering of the world and will now and forever know peace. I pray that God watches over your son. I pray that your soul is resting in peace with your mother. I pray that everyone who cares about you, who's hearts are aching with grief will have God's strength to endure and press on. I love you Laurie. See you later. Always,
