Laureen was a apecial big sister and was inspirational to all of her family. Her talent of finding the fun in evrryday activities is one memory we can keep. Her love of the Pirates and the Steelers was admirable = how many Steelers bars did she identify in Charleston? We love you Andy, and we're keeping you in our prayers and thoughts. Laureen is smiling down on us now, safe with God and united with the loved ones who are already in heaven.
