Thank you Merridy for putting so beautifully everything I've been thinking about Lara. It was that wonderful combination of tough, intelligent, loving, and feminine that made her both so awe-inspiring and so completely approachable at the same time. Lara was also a magnetic connecter, touching and affirming the lives of so many people everywhere she went. She just had so much LIFE in her, it doesn't seem possible that she, of all people, is gone. My mind keeps playing the sound of her sweet voice over and over, and I am so sad to loose such a great person from the world and from our lives.

- The breadth of her relationship to us is far reaching, her friendships deep and long lasting. Ever in motion, she lived three lives every day, her broad smile and infectious laughter gracing each moment. She was a natural storyteller, in delivery and in experience, for they were her stories, unembellished. To summarize her would be a travesty of embarrassing proportions; even for those of us who were characters in her stories, our remembrance is but a moment of her rich life. If you live only one life each day, these stories will be a window into an existence extraordinary. Yes, if you were close, if you were acquainted, and even if you never had the opportunity, these stories will help all of us in the years to come, our years without Lara.
