In tears we saw you sinking
And watching you fade away,
Our hearts were almost broken
We wanted you to stay, but when
We saw you sleeping so peacefully
Free from pain, how could we wish
You back with us to suffer the pain
Again, It broke our hearts to lose you
But you did not go alone, for part of us
Was with you the day God took you home.

Not a day goes by that my heart doesn't recall a loving memory of Laurie. I have known her since kindergarten (I think...it was a very long time ago). I am a much better person for having known her and having her helping ways and beautiful spirit in my early life. I do take heart and have some peace in knowing that her spirit lives on in the lives of you, Pat, and your blessed children. No matter what, Laurie always had that heart-warming smile as well as the most kind and gentle ways. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers everyday. May God grant you all peace of mind and heart in knowing that Laurie now sits with the Lord and on your shoulder watching over you from above.

Precious Laurie what a great sister-in-law you were and are! You always made us feel so welcome and always made us laugh! I will miss your smile, and your yummy peanut butter treats and the way you were so sweetly shy. I miss you so much and I know I'll see you on the other side, I love you.... Fly with the angels my sweet.
