Laurie & I are childhood friends. We lived across the street from each other from 5th grade ‘til high school graduation. We spent countless hours at each other’s houses. So many fun, happy & cherished memories. Love you, my beautiful friend. Ecclesiastes 3:1-8
Laurie has been my dear friend since the ninth grade, we lived together in Texas, and she visited us in Colorado as often as she could. I enjoyed our recent “Gal trips” back to Fort Wayne and Cincinatti. I will miss her smile, laughter, and genuine friendship! Love you!
My heart is heavy as I share in sadness. An inquisitive beauty laid to rest. Sharing your sadness.
