I worked with Laurine at The John Marshall Law School for a number of years and found her to be a lovely, caring friend. Until Laurine left Illinois for Iowa, we were part of a group of four JMLS ladies who celebrated each other's birthdays with lunch each year. I'll miss her.
We will miss our geat Aunt Toots! I always looked forward to seeing her, she had a way of warming you up, and was always happy person! I always looked forward to her hand typed Christmas letter filling me in on all of her travels and yearly events in her life! We will truly miss you!
Love!
