My heart goes out to all of you especially you Uncle Donald. I watched as you sat each day by her side, held her hand and shed tears. Aunt Laurie made it clear what she wanted and what she didn't want. You honored her wishes and there is no greater love than that. She is now the Guardian angel of her family, proud of all of you. Michael, Michelle, Stephen and Apryl, you have all been a great source of strength through this whole journey. God's speed be with you all. Love, Donna

My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. Uncle Donald, I sat and watched while you held aunt Lauries hand, talked to her and wept for her. You knew what she wanted and what she didn't want and you abided by that. There is no greater love and respect. She is her families guardian angel now. Right to the end she worried about Alex and James. What an admirable grandmother, mother and wife she was. Michael, Michelle, Stephen and Apryl, you were all such a source of strength and love through this journey. God's speed be with you all. Love, Donna

Donald & Family, I was so saddened to read that Laurie had passed away. She was so lucky to have spent the last 40+ years with you. She was such a pleasant person when I worked with her @ Almac's many years ago. She always had a smile on her face no matter what. Heaven has gained another angel. May she rest in the peace of the Lord.
