I am deeply sorry for your loss and pain in losing such a BEAUTIFUL Soul. I just found out Tuesday that you had passed Laurie. I am so sorry I missed your service. I never would have had I known. You were an Angel of a human being. Forgiveness came easy to you and I am grateful that you showed me how to do so. You were the strongest woman I knew so I hope you have the strength to guide from Heaven. Armando and Young Adults you raised will need you to guide them through this sudden loss. May Your BEAUTIFUL Soul be at PEACE.

I remember working late and Laurie was always one of the last to leave. She loved to talk and was easy to talk to. She will be missed and remembered. My prayers and thoughts are with you.
Armando so sorry to hear about your wife passing
Laurie was an extremely bright light during her time at Bank of America after the Countrywide merger. We were in different departments but became friends as I always noticed how much her team was (or wasn’t) having, so we struck up conversation and hit it off. Laurie and her great friend Chris Dawley always made us smile.. We shared Twizzler’s and other candy often. Rest easy, Laurie. Deepest condolences to the family.
We are so sorry for your loss, Laurie was a great woman , wife, mom and grandmother. Always had a bright smile. She will be deeply missed.
