Condolence: My deepest condolences to Laurel's family and friends. I didn't know her personally but I did loose my own dear mother six years ago. Psalm 94:18,19 was a passage that reminded me of our loving Creators strength and support through difficult times. May it comfort you during your grief.

Condolence: Laurel’s commitment to helping children acquire literacy knew no boundaries. She was eager and very knowledgeable in her teaching. Her influence was National all the way to the US office of Education, in Washington DC. She was my teacher and mentor. I will miss her terribly.

Condolence: From the moment I met Laurel in 1973 I was overcome with her positivity, her knowledge, and her enthusiasm. She exuded energy and real down-to-earth charm. Her faith in people, in goodness, in the ability to learn and grow was boundless. She was a mentor to me and so many other aspiring teachers. She was a matchless and supportive colleague to me at USM. She had the ability to make others feel truly remarkable. I am proud to call her my friend. She lit up the world with her presence.

Condolence: Laurel inspired students and colleagues alike with her intelligent and cheerful determination to light up the world of literacy for all. I was proud to work along side her at USM and proud to call her friend. And happy to reconnect in recent years over lunches w fellow iliteracy warriors, where Laurel's talent and determination inspired once again. I will miss her fiercely.

Condolence: She was a lovely, lovely person and I feel very lucky to have known her. Her attitude was always, always positive, more so than anyone else I have known. And she did love her children and grandchildren. I was so sorry when she got sick, because she enjoyed life so much and she was in such a good place, with some not so easy days well behind her. I will miss her. The world will miss her - we need many more like Laurel.
