I know you are still here in spirit, Laurie. I miss you. You were one of the kindest, most spiritual, loving people I ever met. You gave me hope when I had lost hope. I love you. I have all your astrology readings and will treasure the many memories of my appointments with you. God bless you. I am so glad to have known you. May you rest now and I will greet you later.

Laurie Brady, one of the most generous, fun loving and kind human beings that ever graced the planet. RIP my dear friend, I will cherish the many memories we shared. When we took the cruise to South America and gave lectures : yours on astrology and mine on psychology and by the end of the cruise they named a drink after you the "Woo Woo Brady" . Nobody brightened a room up like Laurie. I love you my dear friend and mentor. 'Til we meet again. Betty O your Capricorn Pal

This is the end of an era. Laurie was one of my dearest friends. She is a Chicago legend. She will be remembered as a first class lady, philanthropist and a sweetheart. Everyone who met Laurie loved her. I am one of so many. I cherish the laughs. We did it all. Friends forever Laurie! Love you, Barb Bailey
