Hey sis, it's 6:20 a.m. and another nite w/o sleep, I'm not sure how many more nights it will take b/4 I crash for a week or 2, Lol,..... I wish, well I guess I just need sleep. I have been helping your sweet peanut, Simone, she could sure use a little angelic whisper, or breath of heavenly air from you if possible. Do you have any favors coming from the Big Guy?? As you can imagine, Aunt Debs joining you has had a major affect on her. I'm really trying everything we talked about, but this has been an exceptional tough one .... on .... all , and Simone is definitely your daughter, caring, emotional, big-hearted. I don't want to worry you, and sorry if I am, really, try not to, I promise to continue to do my best and carry out your wishes, down to the last page. I love and miss you tons. Ditto to Debs please, I do not have her ready to write to yet..... I will tho ASAP. Love you xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo Lynette

Laurie you were in my dreams all night last night. I miss you. Squirt.
Laurie,
I had so much fun with Simone, Dad and Mom when they came to me visit last week. We watched a few of your videos that were in your storage unit. It was nice to hear your laughter. I miss and love you.
Laurie, Thinking about you and even thou mom gave birth to you 53 years ago to day the day you accepted Christ into your heart is the day were born again. Because of that you are in Gods arms today. Love and miss you.
Happy Birthday in Heaven, I so wish we could have spent another birthday together. I will think of you all day today,...I will really try and focus on all the fun birthdays we spent together, but as any other day, it will bring tears to my eyes. I miss you so much. It still never fails, any time I pull in the driveway out in Polar, the 1st person I am looking for is YOU,...... and it is still so hard. I feel like when you left us you took a part of me with you, and I just don't think I'm going to ever get it back. Mom and Dad gave me the best gift 53 years ago today that any parent could give their child and for that and all the time we did have together, I am forever grateful and thankful!!!So, heres to you my sweet sister and so sadly missed by so many...........HAPPY BIRTHDAY in HEAVEN, Love always, Lynette xoxo

Laurie, Happy Mothers Day. I never told that that I was so proud of you and that you were such a great mom to Simone. I am sorry. Please forgive me and know that I will always be there for your daughter and try to be the aunt to her that you would want me to be. I love and miss you.
I was awaken yesterday in the middle of the night with such a vivid sight,...............there you were, just like you had never left, we were in the middle of one of your (so missed and so necessary at this particular (as you so specified!) point in my life)), "heart~to~heart deep talks. I remember feeling warm in my stomach,a feeling I don't ever recall feeling before,,,,, and then you said you had to "get back",...... and that's when I got that feeling (in my stomach again), only this time I remember all to well that feeling, almost instantaneously sick to my stomach, empty, lost all over again just like I felt when you left on 12/18. I'm ok again, but still missing you sooooo much, but am so greatful for that brief encounter and feeling you so close to me again, if even for that short moment or two. I love and miss you ,, and ...............PS. THANKS from the bottom of my aching heart, xoxoxoxoxo Lynette
I miss you.
Laurie Happy Easter.
Hey sis, havin one of them days, and it brings me to you........... I used to always pick up the phone and call you and feel better instantly......... oh how I wish those days were still here, sooooo, here's a toast to "Phones in Heaven" please!! Love you always and forever Lynette

Laurie,i am misssing you.Love your baby sister DeDe.
Laurie had such a wonderful soul, she was always there to lend and ear, a shoulder or give a long hug. She was never too busy to care.
She also made the best root-beer floats!
She is greatly missed.
Sending prayers to the Lanik Family. I love you all and miss you all. God bless.
Laurie was like a big sister to me. She looked out for me and was always there to lend an ear or give a giant hug. I will miss our long chats and her bright smile. Laurie was such a wonderful Mother, and always showing me Simone's pictures, and telling me of her achievements at school and in her extracurricular activities. She loved her daughter more than anything. Simone - you have gained the most amazing guardian angel. I loved her like a sister. God bless you all.
I miss you.
As one of Laurie's first cousins we didn't see one another for a long time, however, family is always remembered with fondness. Thinking of you and hope you have wonderful memories of good times together. With sympathy, Sharon Hall
I am so sorry to hear of Laurie's passing. My condolences to the family.
Lauire,
Thinking about you.

I remember going to Jack-in-the-Box and ordering 50 toco's [to freeze and bring home].The staff thought we were kidding.She was such a great cook.We would go to lake mead and shopping,and just hang out by the fire place. Debbie,Lauire and I went on a hot air bolloon ride i was so scared,they were both laughing at me [ i do not like heights].Love and miss you so much.Love De De.
Aunt Lauire,
I am so thankful that you are in the arms of Jesus.And no longer in pain.Love amd miss you Jeffrey.
Laurie,
I miss you.
Love De De
Laurie was my "office neighbor" for quite some time at LH, and I still have the cutest "peace" wallet she gave me... She so loves her daughter Simone... her pride and joy... Laurie loved her family, cherished her friends, and simply adored her precious daughter... sending hugs and wishes of peace.
Laurie was such a joy to work with. Her family, especially her beautiful daughter, were the light of her life. God Bless you.
