Now think in silence and reverently call the name of one who lived with you in beauty and in grace.
Now all there are are memories, and memories are your keepsakes, with which you must never part.
So hold your thoughts and memories of a loved one true and dear, and lock them in your heart.

As we approach the third anniversary of Laura’s passing, I want to thank everyone for their contribution and support.
I have struggled to keep my head above water without her.
Our life was a dream.
Ours was a special blend of love, compassion, adventure and continual fulfillment.
Our adventures in university, our weekends sailing Lake Ontario and Muskoka, our driving trips across Canada, our home on the waterfront, our move to the United States, our exciting careers, raising our son, Rob and our life at the Beach, our American / European travels and sailing the Caribbean and the South Pacific!!
What a great story!! What a great life.
I am so grateful for the shared time with Laura and your contribution to the mix
From the bottom of my heart, "Thank You" once again...
I miss her terribly.
I live in a wasteland without her.
She gave me purpose, joy and love.
Laura was a wonder!
Love to all.

The last card I gave to Laura said ..

No matter how much time goes by,
your love will never stop thrilling me,
your beauty will always inspire me,
and your presence will always be
the music of my soul.

Laura was a wonder and I miss her beyond measure.
But I am so grateful that she let us share so much of life together.

Thanks for your words of support and encouragement during
these difficult times.

They touched our hearts.

Best.
Bill

We had the honor of working with Laura on tradeshows since the 90's. She had a vivacious spirit and you always knew when she meant business. We remember her laugh and the shared dinners we enjoyed after long nights working at events. She will truly be missed as she had the biggest smile and the warmest heart. Our deepest sympathies to all who knew her.

Lovingly,
