I always enjoyed when Great Aunt Laurie would come to Kansas for the King reunions, anniversaries, etc. She was always so much fun to be around. I regret that I never made it to see her in Wisconsin. She will be missed by all who knew and loved her, but I am glad that she has been reunited with Uncle John. My thoughts and prayers to all.

Even though you, Aunt Laurie, used to give me a hard time on my Texas accent, I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I wished I would’ve been able to come up to WI more to see you, but always remember I thought about you all the time. My dad always kept me informed of how you were doing. I love and will miss you dearly Aunt Laurie. Now you can go on the biggest and bestest Safari with Uncle John and have the best lunch ever with your siblings. Give my love and a big hug to my Grannybelle! Love you, Shana (John Lee’s daughter)

It was always special to see Laurie and John at church over the years....first at St. Patrick's and then at St. Peter's. They both always had a smile, and a friendly, warm greeting. We regret that we are in the south and unable to be at the funeral. Our deepest sympathy to all of her family. Mary and Frank Quartuccio

Laurie and I played golf at Maple Bluff CC years ago. She was a lot of fun to play with. I regret that Mike and I are on Arizona and unable to attend the funeral. Our very sincere sympathy to the family.

Laurie and John were my landlords for many years. I couldn’t have asked for better people to have worked with. She will be missed.
