The three of us girls (Linda, Laurie and myself) had many, many laughs together. Linda and I always used to give her a hard time as she was the baby of the three of us. What ever happened to our youngest one, Laurie, this wasn’t supposed to happen. You know that we love you very much, and you will be so sadly missed. Heaven has gained one heck of an angel today, but we wish that she was still here with us.
Love you Laurie

Moving to North Bay we kept our friendship, she would visit and so would I. Went on trips. Laurie you will always be in my heart. I will miss you and I loved you from the bottom of my heart. Your forever friend Love Diana xxoo

I worked with Laurie for many years at Gilda Marx of Canada. I was in Florida when I heard of her passing. Laurie was amazing and I cherished the time we worked together. She was so creative and inspired me always for the way she kept her home and did her crafts. She was always smiling and helpful. God Bless you all for the loss of such a wonderful person. I will remember her always. My condolences to you all. Hugs to Jennifer. Love, Barbara
