An amazing woman gone way too soon

 

I know there was a GRAND welcoming for Lauri at the gates of the heavens above.

 

and reading her last post, I don't know, somehow there was comfort in reading that. As if that was the last gift she was given on this earth. The warm sun to shine down upon her face. A simple thing so many of us would take for granted.

Oh, no... I have been wondering why she hadn't posted in awhile; I was going to do a "has anyone heard from her" post but I think in the back of my mind I was afraid to know the answer. Lauri's posts never showed her illness; only a lady with a zest for life. Although I know Miles was there to greet her; I am so very sad that she is gone.

Lauri was a lot of fun here on GT. I talked to her about her running and some other things from time to time. I am very sad. :f_pink

I am so sad :cry1

 

Lauri was so positive and so courageous in her fight, I always assumed she'd win. May you find peace and freedom from your pain.

 

Cancer sucks.

damn...i started wondering about her, too. at solvang in 2008 i took pictures of her miles (seen here trying to speak at the friday night pizza dinner, months before he fell ill):

i think i sent her those pictures of miles. we promised to look for each other for solvang 2009. i finally met her, her husband, and clark at friday's night pizza dinner. i got one shot of her and clark (she's on the right):

i told her we were thinking of bringing sadie and katie to solvang in 2010. she said she hoped to meet them. i regret that that won't happen. she was such a nice person, a pleasure to chat with, and was so matter-of-fact about her illness. she'll be missed.

I met Laurie at the gathering in Solvang back in 2007... we actually walked together on the last day, without knowing. It was only later that we realized we knew each other from GT. We met again in 2008.

 

I too had a bad feeling... I checked her last posts a couple of months ago and was hoping that she'd just gotten too busy to post more.

 

 

RIP Laurie, I know you are back together with Miles :(

I was just thinking about Laurie a couple weeks ago because I hadn't recalled seeing her post recently. She had one of my all-time favorite avatars so I always noticed her posts. I cried last night for a woman I'd never met in person. Who's voice I'd never heard. But, I came to know her through Greytalk. She was a very caring and energetic person. And she loved greyhounds. And the heavens are a brighter place with her there. I hope all of our GT Bridge kids gave her a wonderful welcome. I know Miles was happy to see her again....

Rest in peace. :candle

Greyhound angels at the bridge- Casey, Charlie, Maggie, Molly, Renie, Lucy & Teddy. Beagle angels Peanut and Charlie. And to all the 4 legged Bridge souls who have touched my heart, thank you. When a greyhound looks into you eyes it seems they touch your very soul.
