    Laurie was a beautiful person both inside and out. She touched so many lives. I remember when our kids were small, and how easy she made it seem. She was a wonderful mother and wife. And more recently, I could see the absolute joy she took in sharing pictures and stories about her sweet Annabelle! Laurie will be missed, but she has truly left her mark on those who knew her. Please accept our sincere sympathy from the Markey/Carroll family (Mary, Erica & Lauren)

    After reading all the other heartfelt condolences, it reaffirmed what I already knew. Laurie was a wonderful and special person. I knew her when our kids were going to Belle Valley and attending PSR at St. Theresa and we were doing the room mother parties. She always had a smile on her face. My sincere sympathy and prayers to your family.

    Betty Meyer, Belleville, IL, 62220


    I am deeply saddened to hear about Laurie's passing. Although it has been over 35 years since I met her at the Scott AFB Commissary, there are special people that leave a lasting impression. She was such a beautiful person with an endearing spirit about her. My deepest sympathies to the family.

    Laurie was an amazing woman and inspiration. I am so grateful that she was my cousin and friend. Laurie showed all of us how to live life well even during the midst of a horrible illness. I am so happy that we were able to do one of her famous "road trips" to Michigan last year with my mom, Fran, and Aunt Connie. We had so much fun!
    I will miss Laurie, but she will be in my heart always.

    Lisa Schneider, Cincinnati, Ohio, 45246


    Please accept my deepest sympathy for I too know the pain of losing someone you love. May your family find comfort as I have in knowing that our loving heavenly Father promises us that very soon he will 'swallow up death forever and wipe the tears from all faces' by means of his son Jesus. (Isaiah 25:8) What a wonderful day that will be!

    Hi Julie. I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of your sister. I'm shocked. I didn't know her last name and didn't catch this in the paper. I have such fond memories of both of you as friends when we were young. I'm saddened with you and your family as I read about Laurie's passing.
    Bless your hearts!!
