Dear Family Smith, Rapp, and those who loved Laura,
Tommy and I are saddened to know Laura passed away. Your words describe her well and it is obvious her impact on you, and so many and the world at large will leave an indelible imprint. How fortunate you are to have shared a life with Laura a part of it. She was a force of nature. Sending love, Shari and Tommy

Laura was an artiste among artists, a luminary among mere mortals, and an individualist among her peers. Her creative spirit knew no bounds. Her bright smile and wicked sense of humour will be sorely missed. May her memory be a blessing. Our deepest sympathies to Jay, Chloe, Lee and Elliot.

Dear Jay,

Laura will be dearly missed by me, Jon and the whole Latner crew. You and Laura have been at all of our important simchas and in our lives for so many years. It will not be the same without Laura, dressed in black with a beautiful, mischievous smile on her face. I loved her sense of humour. May her memory be a blessing.

Sincerely,

Lily
