So sorry to everyone, Laury was always a sweet breath of fresh air…..rest in peace now, you are free.
Laury was such a kind and thoughtful person. For over 17 years she went to Ocean City with myself and a great group of ladies, for our Mother’s Retreat. We never needed a map or a GPS..we had “Tom-Tom Laury”. She knew the way by heart. She will be forever missed.
Rest In Peace, my friend! Love you!! My sympathies and prayers to Lee and family!

It’s been many years but I can hear her laugh as if it was yesterday. So many great high-school memories! Rest in peace, Laury and my sincere condolences to those who loved her.
I was so saddened to hear of Laury’s passing. She was always so much fun to be around. And her laugh was infectious. Whenever we’d visit PA she was the first one to come running across the street to greet us. Your time on this earth was a gift to those who knew you. Rest well little Laury.
