Laurie and I became friends about 18 months ago when I moved into the Corte Bella Condo where Laurie lived. We became friends immediately as Laurie loved my dog Gadgit. She faithfully came 3 times a week to walk Gadgit during the day while I worked. We became more like a mother and a daughter relationship. We shared with each other daily. I was going through a divorce at the time and Laurie was the only person who would call me every day and check on me to see how I was doing. She never missed a day. Laurie was selfless and gave of herself to all who needed a friend. She always had God’s joy in her heart and we shared many wonderful bible stories together. We encouraged each other and just made each other’s lives a little better because we had a friend to share with. I miss Laurie so much, her phone calls, her smile, her joy. She was taken quickly because God takes the good ones fast. I am so happy her suffering was short. Rest in God’s loving peace Laurie. I miss you and love you.
I have known a Laurie almost all her life, throughout childhood especially. She was always such a positive person who was thrilled with love of family and warm connections with friends. Her face lit up with light and laughter with ease. She valued friendships and honored the love that she watched others share. She is comfortable now and with the angels who adore and protect her.
I worked with Laurie at Stanford Hospital and Clinics for several years. I will always remember Laurie as a sweet sweet spirit, joy filled and kind. I am saddened by her passing but I pray she is resting in the arms of Jesus, pain free and rejoicing in the streets of Gold. Rest In Peace sweet Laurie 🙏
