Tributes
"Auntie, I'll always remember your secure hugs, I never felt so loved then the day you came running twards me as I barely got down my stairs, greeting me with utmost love like we'd never been apart. We reminisced about Grandpa and how our fathers gave us our own nicknames. Sleep overs accompanied neat colored Popcorn, your cocker spaniel Lady, and beautiful decorations but most of all you remembered the things that mattered most to me I am so blessed to have had you in my life, You never stopped loving me and I've always loved you.??? Your niece, Sarah "
"?When Great Trees Fall? Maya Angelou When great trees fall, rocks on distant hills shudder, lions hunker down in tall grasses, and even elephants lumber after safety. When great trees fall in forests, small things recoil into silence, their senses eroded beyond fear. When great souls die, the air around us becomes light, rare, sterile. We breathe, briefly. Our eyes, briefly, see with a hurtful clarity. Our memory, suddenly sharpened, examines, gnaws on kind words unsaid, promised walks never taken. Great souls die and our reality, bound to them, takes leave of us. Our souls, dependent upon their nurture, now shrink, wizened. Our minds, formed and informed by their radiance, fall away. We are not so much maddened as reduced to the unutterable ignorance of dark, cold caves. And when great souls die, after a period peace blooms, slowly and always irregularly. Spaces fill with a kind of soothing electric vibration. Our senses, restored, never to be the same, whisper to us. They existed. They existed. We can be. Be and be better. For they existed. "
"Laurie, since I heard the news, I have been in complete disbelief, none of it seems real, and it?s definitely not fair. I have known you for my entire adult life, and I feel honored to have been in the orbit of such a kind, thoughtful, giving person. I?ve said it before, but thank you so much for being such an amazing friend to my mom, and being there for her always. You were supposed to be Grannies together, and no words can help that hurt or speak for the loss, but you will always be with all of us, in our hearts and minds. Your beautiful granddaughters will be strong, kind, loving people just like you. E will know about and hear about Auntie Laurie! As I write this, she is playing in her ball pit, makes sense as some of her favorite books and toys are from you? a fact that feels very special for me, and testament to how thoughtful you were? you were my mom?s best friend, yet you completely understood my ?style? both personally, and with E?s less-than-girly clothes. It?s so nice to feel understood! Some people don?t even get one friend that understands them, and my mom got the best one there was, and I got to experience the love as well. We will be forever grateful of that, and as I know you would be for me if the situation was different, we will be here for you: Andrea & family, and Ron. I?m going to include this poem, and hope it finds someone in need of comfort. "
"Laurie my friend, I'm still having trouble processing your passing, why ? I'll never forget our great times both in and out of the restaurant and especially our trip to Aruba with the girls..Our love for our granddaughters and our love for our fur babies Sienna and Zoey. You will be missed by all..My heart is broken RIP ?"
"To my dearest friend. I am so thankful I was able to have someone as wonderful as you in my life. I?ll miss our heart to heart talks, bragging to each other about our granddaughters, our lunch dates, trips to Marylous for our funnybone ice coffees , shopping and ?returning? till we dropped. Your laugh, your smile, everything YOU!! I?ll never forget you, because I will carry you in my heart. I Love you Laurie"
