Laurie was a talented and gifted artist. We miss her smile, her new found positive attitude towards life, especially after meeting Ken. We cherish the many summers of 'Christmas in July' and visits to Winnipeg beach with Laurie and all the family. Showing her work was something she enjoyed doing and she received great praise for her artistic contribution to the City of Winnipeg. - Posted by: Bruce and Betty Green (Uncle and Aunt {Calgary}) on: Nov 20, 2014

I first met Laurie when Rheal was a baby. Reconnecting with her at ArtBeat and as a board member with Arts and Disability Network of Manitoba, I enjoyed Laurie's wit and respected her creative expression, community commitment and humanity. - Posted by: Susan P.

My deepest sympathy to Laurie's family. I met Laurie at Studio Central and worked with her on an art project for CMHA. Laurie was a delightful person to know and to work with. She will be missed greatly by Winnipeg's art community. Your light touched many Laurie. - Posted by: Monica (Friend) on: Nov 19, 2014

I met Laurie at studio central. In the short time of a year that I just began to speak with her, she was a very beautiful, warm, talented person. My condolences to her family and friends. - Posted by: Karen (Friend) on: Nov 19, 2014

Winnipeg lost an incredibly supportive, positive, and wonderful artist this Sunday. I met Laurie during my residency at Artbeat Studio. She was a light, a beacon of hope, while I was going through dark times. Her smile and welcoming spirit was always present, and she always gave time to people in need. I will miss her. - Posted by: Benj Funk (Fellow Artbeat Alumni) on: Nov 18, 2014

My deepest sympathy to her family, especially her son Rheal who I originally knew through his father. May you rest in Peace now, Laurie. I know it was a long battle. You were very talented, and I admired you. Sadly, an old friend from Wpg, Esther Weinstein, now of Vancouver. - Posted by: Esther Weinstein (Friend) on: Nov 17, 2014
