To Laurie's family I wish to tell you how very sorry I am to hear this.. I cut Laurie's hair for many years in Mendota, She was so very pleasant and loved to have her come in. I was so happy when she was crowned SCQ. Something she wanted from the first time she saw a pagenat. She was a beautiful young lady and I'm sure a beautiful woman. Please know that you are all in my prayers and thoughts.. Heaven just gained a beautiful angel.. Hoping the wonderful memories will see you through this difficult time.. jeanne davis

Brad, hannah and family,
Our heartfelt condolences on the loss of Laurie. She was so very kind, compassionate, thoughtful and fun. She has a way of making friends with anyone she encountered. She not only engaged with people she know and those she didn’t but she did so by listening and having an a genuine interest in their story. Her laugh and smile when she spoke of her family was incredible, her love and pride for you endless. I can certainly say that everyone she crossed paths with was a better person for having met and spent time with her. Forever loved and missed. If there is anything at all we can ever do for you, please reach out.
Much love,
Jumbo and Lola

Dear Dalton and Smith families,
My heart broke when I read about Laurie’s passing. I was her second grade teacher and she was a loving, compassionate child. Her smile was contagious and her eyes sparkled with the excitement of learning new things. She brought joy to everyone and was always willing to help others. It was evident back then that Laurie was destined for great things. You have my deepest sympathy during this difficult time.

It is so difficult to express the shock of your loss. Our deepest sympathies to you Brad and Hannah and your entire family. Laurie was one of the sweetest, kindest, most loving young women we have ever met. No matter where our paths crossed she was always happy, congenial, and sincerely interested in what we had to say. She was so kind and caring. May God hold her in his loving arms and may you and your family find comfort in knowing that she is in heaven safely in God's care. You and your family are in our prayers.

Brad, Hannah, and Family-
I am so sorry to hear about Laurie's passing. Laurie called on my private family practice clinic and always had a smile on her face. She represented Glaxo well and she had a genuine concern for the providers she called upon. She was one of my favorite drug Reps because she wasn't there to just do a job. She interacted with my staff and we got to know both of you through her. She loved both of you dearly and we always exchanged stories about family. She was there for me when my father passed and was my rock. Laurie would want you to reach out to family and friends in the days, weeks and years ahead. May God embrace her and love her as much as she loved all of us! My heart is heavy along with yours today, but I know that she is always going to be walking along life right beside us. Laurie left a long lasting impression in my heart, and I will never forget the beautiful person she was.

I was so very sorry to hear of Laurie's unexpected passing. We met years ago in the pharmaceutical world and kept in touch, occasionally have lunch to chat, etc. My husband had a brain tumor and so we had some common threads and she was always so helpful in talking through things. I always found Laurie to be so uplifting, confident and caring, and although I never met Brad or Hannah, I could tell how much she loved the both of you. My heartfelt prayers to all of you. God bless you during this difficult time.

The Smiths were our 2 doors down neighbors when we lived in IA from 2010-2014. She provided us with a wealth of resources. She was one of the first people to congratulate us on the births of our children and Laurie gave my children their first "Elf on the Shelf." I enjoyed playing neighborhood bunco with her. She was such a strong, warm, caring person. What a tragic loss. Our condolences to Brad and Hannah. The Allen Family--Warwick, Shannon, Nicholas (8), Charlotte (6)

I worked with Laurie at McLeod. Then later our paths crossed again when you were a drug rep at my clinic Mercy Care Marion. Then when our daughters became good friends in High school. You and I would talk forever. Whenever we seen each other we had so much to catch up on. You were such an inspiration and I was so very Luck to have known you!! Your smile and those incredible baby blue eyes would light up a room. You always had the attention of our providers at our clinic. Whenever I would see you, you would praise Samantha to me. Your truly a beautiful person. I will miss you so much!! My hearts and prayers go out to Hannah and Brad. May you be looking over them at this difficult time!
