Shout Outs
"I can change the world."
This was a quote that Laura lived by. She truly believed that she could change the world. A bold dream, no doubt, and seemingly impossible for the average person. But Laura wasn't the average person, and she left her mark on the world, changing it for so many people. Need proof? Here's what her friends had to say. If you have something you'd like to add, or if you've been misquoted, let me know. Laura, you have changed the world.
RIP Laura (8/21/03)...you will be missed by many

On angels wings, a heavenly flight
The journey home, towards the light
To those who weep a life is gone
But in God's love, tis but the dawn.
I'll always miss you Laura. You helped me in so many ways.
Memories: Soccer at the dome(your mom)
Car rides to Wilkes Barre with her belting out oh bless the Lord my soul! (the one time when we hit a snowbank)
Our walks through the streets of state college(your a freshman and that starts with f just like french and the french suck so you do too)
her being my psychiatrist
her and becky with their batman joke
good times at godspell and chorus
eating vienna fingers and milk
her laugh,i can still hear that laugh
Me beating her up ok she won
fighting for our soccer team-laura i'll try my hardest
sharing the same birthday 8/8
always loved and missed-8/21/03

Time Tested Beauty Tips
~For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
~For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
~For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
~For beautiful hair, let a child run his fingers through it once a day.
~For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.
~People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed and redeemed...
~Never throw out anybody. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.
~As you grow older you will discover that you have two hands. One for helping yourself, the other for helping others.
A poem by Sam Levenson
Laura, you did all of these.
This is why you are beautiful
and will be truly missed.
-Alyson DiSabella
How could we ever forget you. You taught us how to not take life so seriously and laugh at the oddities that make each one of us unique and therefore interesting. You were never afraid to share with us a piece of yourself and never asked for something in return. There were times when you pushed our buttons but that happens when someone so outgoing as you attempts to foster relationships with those of us who can be more reserved with our feelings. You were beautiful as you were. I'll miss you and everything that made you so loved while you were here. Always in our hearts and prayers, Laura. Rest in Peace. O:-)

So take the photographs, and still frames in your mind
Hang it on a shelf of good health and good times.
Tattoos of meemories and dead skin on trial,
for what it's worth, it was worth all the while.
I hope you had the time of your life.
the one who always made me laugh no matter what she said we will miss u always

Who can say for certain?
Maybe you're still here.
I feel you all around me,
Your memory's so clear.
Deep in the stillness,
I can hear you speak.
You're still an inspiration.
Can it be
That you are my
Forever love,
And you are watching over me from up above?
Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile,
If only for awhile to know you're there.
A breath away's not far to where you are.
I know you're there.
A breath away's not far
To where you are.
-To Where You Are (Josh Groban)
RIP Laura You were such an amazing person. No one can ever forget you. You'll always be my big buddy!:'

Laura, fond memories of PJAS, and how many giggles and laughs you can get from her time-keeping stories. Thinking of Laura's family, Mrs. Rut and how much we'll miss her if she leaves us. Praying God blesses their family and Laura, and that He will comfort them as they sorrow. Rest In Peace, Laura, and we when share funny stories with each other, I hope you can hear them from Heaven. To a true Angel, Laura:8/21/03
