Very sad news: Laurie Verge has passed

[John E.]

What a painful loss. I'll always remember Laurie for her thoughtful encouragement and generosity. I loved her feisty personality, honesty & willingness to engage in spirited debate and conversation. Luckily, we we were on the same side on most topics!

Laurie left an indelible mark on so many of us and played a key role in assisting myself & Barry in our research.

She will be deeply missed. My heartfelt condolences go out to her family and friends. I am unable to attend her memorial service but she will be in my thoughts and prayers. May she rest in peace.
