My deepest sympathies to the family. You can find comfort in knowing, our Heavenly Father has promised we will see our love ones again (Acts 21:15).

May time soften the pain until all that remain is the wonderful memories you've shared with Laura and the comfort of God Psalms 119:76.

Laurie was my good friend from our QOP days. So many fond memories of White Sox games, jack in the box tacos and trips downtown to WLS radio station studio. We recently reconnected and had many laughs reminiscing about our crazy times together. You will be missed my dear friend. RIP. My thoughts to Kate and her brothers and sister, who I remember well.
