To Laurie’s family, my condolences. I am just finding notice of her passing while I am in the process of clearing out boxes of papers and discovering a letter which she wrote to me in February 1995. We were sharing family history, her grandmother Jeannie Scott Murray and my grandfather John Scott were siblings. It is startling how time goes by so quickly, and somehow life gets in the way of keeping in touch. What a great age Laurie reached, and I am sure she will be missed by all of you.
