Subject: Sad News...

A dear friend of a lot of us and one of the founding members of the HarmyBoard, Lauri, has died from breast cancer. Click here for her obituary



Lauri was around at the beginning of the HB and many of us met her at the fanfests. She was such a lovely lady and a good friend who I lost touch with. I've stayed at her house and met her lovely family including her identical twin, Lori.

She was a bit shy on the board but she really LOVED Harm and was so much fun in chat.

I know a lot of you remember her too and have fond memories too. I just can't believe it...

[> I am so shocked and sad that Lauri died. She was such a DJE fan and an absolute sweetheart. In those early days of the HB, and before that at Maeve's, we'd chat every night and Lauri was always there. We had a fab time at fanfest. She had a wry sense of humour. The first time I went to ff in 2003, Lauri, Matou, and I agreed to go one day early so we could meet for the first time. (Inside) -- Cece, 22:10:37 07/06/12 Fri [1]

I remember waiting at LAX, and I saw Lauri and Matou coming down the escalator. We all recognized each other from pictures, except that L and M thought that I was short. Lauri took on her mother role as though Matou and I needed her guidance. I used to tease her about being bossy, but in fact, she was really easy to get along with.

When I went to visit judi and manette in Dallas, I stayed at judi's, and Lauri flew in from VA so we could all go to the TX JAG meet. We laughed so much. And when judi got divorced, she went to visit Lauri in VA, and loved meeting her family.

I'm so sad we lost touch. Judi and I have both looked for her in the past few years, but we couldn't contact her. Those of us who knew Lauri through the BAs (Blue Angels...founding members of the HB), the board, and at fanfest, will remember her as a lovely, funny, and happy natured person. My heart and deepest sympathy goes out to her husband, children, parents, and siblings and the rest of her family.

[> [> What sad news. She must have been relatively young. I also send my deepest condolences to her family and friends and to those of you who knew her, my deepest condolences. I bet her JAG fun and friendships were a huge part of some of the joy, laughter, and smiles of her life. -- mj, 04:05:00 07/07/12 Sat [1]

[> I was so sad to read about Lauri. When I think of her she was always smiling and friendly and funny. I've met a lot of friends thru the HB but she will always hold a special place for me. -- manette, 05:23:41 07/07/12 Sat [1]

[> [> Such terrible news. I feel for her family. I believe she was about 55, so yes, she was young. -- CM>^.,.^<, 06:47:18 07/07/12 Sat [1]

[> [> [> She was 60 on June 21st. I remember when she turned 50, 60 is still far too young for a life to end. -- Cece, 07:38:22 07/07/12 Sat [1]

[> oh heavens- I reember the year she came to the JAGmeet at my house- what a loss! In this day and time when so many survive breast cancer due to early detection, it's always a shock to hear someone didn't make it. This is truly sad news. -- chris k - hoping her family knows how much she was appreciated in the HB community, 07:01:26 07/07/12 Sat [1]

[> [> Chris, that was in May 2004, the first JAGmeet at your house. Pretz and Lauri flew in and stayed at judi's. That was when we met Spud for the first time also. This is so shocking. -- Cece, 07:32:40 07/07/12 Sat [1]

[> This breaks my heart. She was so fun to hang around with at FanFests, and the last time I saw her, I was taking a trip to DC and she let me stay at her house for a few days. We had a great time going to a CSNY concert and a Nats game, and just hanging out in the backyard. I'll miss her. -- Pretz, 19:40:57 07/07/12 Sat [1]

[> [> Oh Pretz, do you remember driving Lauri, Matou, judi, and me into LA and going to the museum? I know I've got the pictures somewhere. -- Cece, 20:39:42 07/07/12 Sat [1]

[> [> [> Yes! Fun times! Hmm, where are my pictures? I just remembered climbing the rock wall, and maybe some zip line thing... -- Pretz, 09:52:21 07/17/12 Tue [1]

[> So very sad to hear of Lauri's passing. My heartfelt sympathies to her family during this sad time. I know I met Laurie at one of the FF I attended. This board has brought together many different ladies with a common interest, but all of us are interested in the well being of the others. -- jenks, 12:30:36 07/08/12 Sun [1]
