It is terribly hard to be writing once again about a good friend, gone too 
soon having fought an incredible battle with a mercyless disease.  In ways 
Laurie was very open about her cancer and in others she was very private. 
There were a couple of times when she was in the hospital and she would only 
let a few people know.  When she went to the Mid Alantic futurity it was to 
say good bye to long time friends and family.  She wrote me an email on the 
way and said, "I have no business doing this" having just had cemo 
treatment.  But she really knew that she did need to do this.  It was her 
way.
I will remember Laurie and the many great times we had.  I will remember how 
much she loved her dogs.  I will also remember her work to help others.  She 
was so grateful to be voted to the Board and so upset that she didn't feel 
good or have more time to be an advocate for the German Shepherd Dog and the 
people who love them.  She was also very thankful for having the opportunity 
to judge the futurity, another item on her "bucket list".
To Laurie's family, friends, and especially Ariel, we have lost a special 
person... my heart hurts for you.
To my friend, so long for now, I love you and will miss you dearly...
Terry
