John, we are so sorry for your loss and wish you and family our deepest sympathy. I will always cherish the friendship I had with Laurie. She was such a beautiful person, inside and out. She will forever live in our hearts. God bless you and your family. Lane and Maureen.

Our hearts are broken for you, John, the girls & the rest of the family! You have so many loving & beautiful memories to hold on too that will last forever. We’re praying for all of you & send our love & sympathy.

I am so sorry to hear of Laurie’s passing today... May your wonderful memories together get you thru the days ahead.. You both were so fortunate to have found each other when you did and share so many fun times together. Your love for each other lives on forever. 💕💕

My beautiful daughter was called to heaven today at 2pm. I wanted a girl so much when she was born that I thanked the Doctor that delivered her. I went to the hospital on a Sun. night at 9pm..I get to the hospital and my Dr. is gone on vacation and his standby is not back from his vacation. The hospital staff said not to worry that they would find a Dr. to deliver her. They did but the Doctor was not even supposed to deliver babies. Gordy my husband waited in the delivery room for many hours and no Laurie. Finally I told Gordy to leave because I did not know when she would be born. Gordy went home, changed clothes and went to work and as soon as he went through the door at 8:25 am they told him his baby girl was born. He picked out her name and wanted her to have the same middle name as mine Lynn. While living here in Santa Maria we were not able to see each other that much but I got alot phone calls from her which was almost every day until Feb this year. I think the daily phone call I am going to miss the most . When she was little I can see her so clear standing up on the floor of the car behind her dad when he was coaching Jr. All American Football and he had just lost the game he coached and she told him thats all right dad there is always tomorrow. Well my tomorrow is going to be sad for a very long time. I was blessed to have her as long as I did but it still was not long enough. She is going to be with her dad in heaven. God take good care of her.

My love and deep sympathy to you and your family, John. She is going to be missed greatly. She was remarkable and a great role model. 💜💜💜

A life extinguished much too young but she will always be in your hearts! She was very loved ! So so sorry for your loss and for the girls.

John, you and your family have my deepest sympathies. Laurie was a wonderful person and such a great friend. She truly was beautiful inside and out and I will miss her forever. RIP dear friend❤️

So Sad, but it’s a comfort knowing that Laurie lived a life where she knew she was loved by so many family, friends and acquaintances. Not everyone can say that, and not everyone can receive the loving support that John, her family, Courtney and Meaghan provided .

There are no words for this wonderful lady that shared in all of our lives. Keep smiling Laurie in your "new home."

To Laurie: I loved getting to know you. You had the best personality.
