Laure, you are missed. But every time I think of you, it's hard not to smile.

Thanks for your no-b.s. attitude in chat.

And your kindness (yes, it's true) to the younger folks.

And your passion for strange noshes.

And your old-timer stories.

I almost don't believe you're not sitting at a keyboard out there somewhere -- just about to prick someone's hot air balloon.

See, there you go again -- making me smile.

I know that her family and friends must miss her very much and my heart goes out to them.

So sorry to read about this. Laure was young, only 55! I remember she loved and helped dogs. A big heart for them.

My condolences to her family and friends.

wow...

i'm sorry i missed this thread.

ladybird had as fitting an avatar as any on this board

i visited her a couple times at her home in modesto and both times she gave me an armload of oranges from a tree in her yard and i brought them back to the haight to the delight of some fellow scruffians

a monet or a renoir could transport a viewer into eternity painting her shaking the sweet fresh globes from the branches with a broomstick; could speak of all that Woman is and has been; graceful, generous, fecund, beautiful beyond beautiful...

I completely missed this.

I'm very sad to hear Laure passed away. We had a great deal of conversations and she was one of the person who helped me sort out my head once I started posting.

Not a day passes that I don't think of her. I can see her smiling right now. What a joy we all had to
know her.

As Just Me said....Thank you, Laure...for all of your love and friendship you shared with so many
