Our sincerest heartfelt condolences to Pete, Jimmy, Tegan, Chrissy, Dave, all of Laurie's grandchildren, siblings and friends. We are still in shock that such an amazing woman who was so incredibly full of life was taken so soon. We will never forget the first time we met Laurie at the cottage, Chrissy and Jimmy were dating and her and Pete very quickly made us feel like family. Everytime we saw Laurie afterwards she was always smiling and always had words of encouragement. She will be truly missed. We have been thinking of you often.
Love,
Cheryl, Bill, Ethan, Dylan Wright xoxo

My deepest sympathy to Peter and the family on Laurie's passing. I had no idea that she was ill. I taught Laurie in high school. She played the cello and she was always a joy to teach and the life of the class. We connected again at the reunion in North Bay a couple of years ago. It was great to see her again and share memories. I'm deeply saddened by this news. May peace and love surround the family and God's everlasting care be with you all. May Laurie now enjoy the blessings of eternal life.

Dear Peter and family,
It is with deep sadness and much love, that I send these thoughts your way. I am so sorry for your loss ... Laurie was a beautiful human being.
Laurie and I were good friends while at St. Alexander's and St. Joseph's College, many years ago. We lived only 2 streets from one another and often walked to school together, hung out and volunteered at the hospital as candy stripers.Lots of growing up and lots of fun. I've always had fond memories of Laurie and the Chirico family and been grateful for the time she and I spent together as young people and later, as mature women. Her compassionate and loving heart showed early on and only grew in its capacity, as she aged. I believe that she was a special soul.
Sometimes, I reconnected with Laurie when I visited in North Bay in summer, but particularly during and after the weekend reunion for St. Joseph's College.We picked up right where we left off. She was always so gracious, quick with a smile, hilarious, easy to talk with, always said what she meant and was confident in showing her faith. I always appreciated her authenticity and most often left her company, feeling inspired.
The love she felt for her family was abundantly clear and it was
evident that she too, felt very loved.
I will miss her. It made all the difference, knowing her.
Much love and prayers,
Karen Holmes

We were informed of Laurie's passing by her daughter in law, our daughter Chrissy Braund on Saturday. Although our time with Laurie was short, we found out quickly how special she really was. At Jimmy and Chrissy's wedding in Jamaica, we had the chance to spend time with her and get to know her. What a zest for life she had! To say that only the good die young is an understatement where Laurie is concerned.
To Laurie's family, please accept our heartfelt condolences. She will remain in our memories forever.

You Believed in Me
Two weeks ago
you came to me
in Newburyport,
in Haley’s Ice Cream diner.
I walked in,
ordered a
lobster roll,
and sat down.
Soon after,
the owner, Haley,
a tall, lithe woman
with cropped blond hair,
and blue glasses framing
her blue eyes,
wearing pink sneakers
that matched her pink apron
placed my lobster roll
in front of me.
She was your twin look alike
with a smile,
your smile,
that broke across her face
in a welcome
that made me think
I was the only one in the diner;
In that smile II heard you say,
“Don’t forget me.”
Two weeks ago
you were still here
but today,
your body let go;
she died.
But your
great and generous spirit
I carry within me-always.
Through all our
early adventures
and later losses,
no matter
the distance
that separated us,
I knew,
deep in my being,
You Believed in Me.
And so
I grieve my great loss-
IT’S OKAY TO CRY
buddy!
Yet, deeper than my grief,
beneath my sorrow
is a river,
as beautiful as the FRENCH,
and upon this river
a boat carries
you and me
and memories
and waves of laughter.
Jude Prashaw

I remember Laurie well. When we were kids (grade six or so) we played constantly in front of the Civic Hospital. When Peter Chirico and I would fight / wrestle, Laurie would peel us off each other and at that time she was way bigger than Peter was. I always got a kick out of that.
Peter Rooney and Peter Chirico, I'm sorry she was young.

When I transferred into the North Bay office, Laurie was one of the first people to make me feel welcomed and valued. She always had a smile and encouraging word. She will be greatly missed by all.
