• A chance search, turned up Laura's obituary, stunning me into a deep sadness. I offer condolences to her parents. After 33 years since high school - I have lost contact with most everyone! and have regrets, and tears. I am so sorry. - Posted by: Christine ( Scheidl ) Erdos O'Malley (Second flute to her first flute, JTC band) on: Sep 08, 2014

• It's been almost a year since you have left us and not a day goes by that we don't think of you hoping that it was all a dream and we'll see you again just around the corner. Rest my friend and when you look down upon us - know that you are truly missed. - Posted by: jenn (friend) on: Jun 18, 2014

• Laura was a funny and out-going lady who always made me laugh with her stories and antics. My heart aches for your loss. My sincere condolences. - Posted by: Maria Harden (co-worker) on: Aug 22, 2013

• To all who loved and cared for Laura, my sympathies. I remember Laura as being so smart and so nice in our classes going all the way back to Arthur Oliver. She had an artistic mind and absolutely loved the logo for the Winnipeg Centennial, being so proud of it. I remember riding my bike down the catwalk from School Road to Wharton hoping to see her out playing. Funny how the memories come back so clearly - her curled hair, flared jeans, and orange 70's top jumping to mind. Life is too short. I'm crying as I write this and I haven't seen Laura in over three decades - I can only imagine the loss felt by those close to her. Be well. - Posted by: Greg Gilhooly () on: Aug 19, 2013

• Dear Mr. and Mrs. Coward, I am shocked to hear of the loss of your beautiful daughter. Laura and I spoke often and shared many private and beautiful conversations, what a gentle soul. I think of her often. I moved to Kelowna almost (4) years ago, I had a very nice visit with her the last time I came in. She was always so friendly and kind. My heart goes out to you both. I also lost a brother not so longer ago. Remember the good times, there are many. - Posted by: Sarah Vestner (co-worker and friend) on: Aug 15, 2013

• Mr. and Mrs. Coward, my sincere condolences on Laura's passing. I worked with Laura for several years and knew her to be a kind-hearted, sensitive, and caring person who would light up the room when she walked in.

• Dear Mr. and Mrs. Coward, I was saddened to hear of Laura's illness and passing. I have thought over the years about my High School chums and all the fun we had in band and musicals. So sorry for your loss. Rest in Peace Laura! - Posted by: Janice Kolomaya (Huget) (High School Friend) on: Aug 12, 2013

• I was deeply saddened & shocked to read of Laura's passing so young. I knew of Laura when she way back when dated & was engaged to my brother Ron. When things did not work out we went our separate ways, but often thought about her impeccable dress, & love of tanning. She never wanted her hair out of place. I did not realize she was sick. I too have an illness & feel happiness has eluded me all my life also. I wish now I would have stayed in touch as she was a beautiful soul. My thoughts & prayers go out to the Coward Family at this most difficult time of sorrow. Life truly is short. - Posted by: Christine Moulden (old friend) on: Aug 12, 2013

• I'm so sorry for the loss of your daughter. I am so sad to hear the news. Laura and I were friends for years. We had many laughs together. We lost touch in the past year because I had some health issues. I remember when she first got her red sports car, she was smiling from ear to ear. We went to get insurance for it and she was so proud that she saved her money to buy this car. I was happy for her too. I will remember her with fond memories. I know you will too.

• To Mr. and Mrs. Coward; My sincere heartfelt condolences for the loss of your daughter Laura. I was first acquainted with your daughter back in 1999 when I started dealing with the City of Wpg. PP&D and was always met with Laura's pleasant and professional manner. She was always willing to accommodate above and beyond her position as Permit Tech. I'm sure her personality will be missed at the city. Very saddened to hear of her passing. - Posted by: Frank N. Procup (Professional acquaintance and friend) on: Aug 03, 2013
