Tara, Vahan, Christina and Wesley

No words can express my sadness right now. Laurie touched the lives of so many people in such ways that those who knew her, were left with a lasting impression. I am so grateful to have known you, and more grateful that you have blessed me with an amazing and strong friend that your daughter Tara is. You may be gone, but you’ll never be forgotten.

Please forgive me, I am devastated I cannot make it to the funeral as I am in Edmonton, but please accept my sincerest condolences.

Love from Katrina.

TO FAMILY

SO SAD,LAURIE IS MISSED.

CONDOLENCES

Laurie (Beanie) was my best friend growing up and a very important part of my life, then and now. She was my childhood, my youth, and my adolescence. She was my beginning. We live our own lives and move on, never forgetting the people that are important to us from our past. She was one of the people who helped to mold me into the person I have become. Even though we were separated by hundreds of miles she was always in my thoughts and in my heart and was a very important part of my life. Even though we did not see or communicate to each other for long periods of time, when we did, it was like we were never apart. Beanie was an extremely strong person, and I admired her strength. She was a kind, caring, loving person, a dedicated wife, a true role model and inspiration to her children. My heart goes out to Vahan, the children and her family. She will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by me forever. God Bless you Beanie. I will miss you. Until we meet again. I love you .

I am deeply sorry and shocked to hear of Laurie’s passing. She was a lovely and kind lady. My most deepest condolences to the family.

Chrissy!

I’m so sorry for the loss of your mom. Christina, I know what it’s like to, lose a parent. Your loved by friends and family. Your one of my best friends. I can’t believe I saw your mom only a week before she past away. She looked good. She seemed somewhat happy. I say somewhat because you were looking for some sort of tool for your French food. You need anything… A shoulder, a friend, someone to talk too, you always have me. Your mom will be missed great fully!

Hey, Lor, thinking of you as I often do and especially as this most terrible of anniversaries approaches. I think of your “babies”, all grown now. How happy you would be being with them and fussing over them. (Just as your Mom did over you.) Mostly, dear Laurie, I think of the friendship and good times we had as kids. Oh, the things we did. The mischief. But nothing ever over the line. (Does a ladder to your upper floor window, so I could sleep over, count as over the line??) Oh, my goodness, the things we did!! I wish every child could have the “free” childhood that we had. I think of the laughter and the closeness and how we couldn’t seem to go many days without each other. I hope you are happy where you are; with your Mom and Dad. Mostly, Laurie, I think of how I love you, and how I always will. That will never change, and I KNOW I will see you again. I pray Vahan is managing well, and that Tara, Christina and Wesley are making you proud. Rest Well, Darling Laurie. You were EVERYTHING to all of us. Loving and thinking of you, Tracey. xoxoxo—->Forever.
