My heart and thoughts go out to the family and friends who knew and loved Laura so much and are missing her deeply. I didn't know her as well as some of you did. What I remember most in these last couple years of getting to know her a little is the openness and warmth she always showed me, her sense of humor, and her always-thoughtful gestures. As Brent said, she was indeed one sweet soul.
I have been off the board for a bit and it was quite a shock to learn that Laura has passed on. She was so beautiful, articulate, and always a voice of reason and inspiration. I know I will truly miss her posts, humor, and incredible and vast knowledge on so many things. Love and peace to her family-- she always said how proud she was of you all. I'll make a donation to Habitat for Humanity in her name.
Love,
Suzanne

Like Suzanne, I haven't been on the board for quite a while, so I just learned about the big changes...
all my love is sent to the family and friends of this wonderful lady,
who is missed so much.
I experienced Laura as one of the smartest, funniest and nicest people ever,
and so without her something is missing indeed.
I need to thank her over and over again for all she helped me out and brought me further... even so it's been a while that I am on her way.
so I just wish....
there is no way to peace, peace is the way!
...the world is come undone, I like to change it everyday but change don't come at once, it's a wave, building before it breaks.
I just wanted to say Merry Christmas to Hippiemom's family and let them know that we are thinking of them. Also, to everyone that she touched which is quite a few people. Love her and miss her.
"I'd rather be with an animal." "Those that can be trusted can change their mind." "The in between is mine." "If I don't lose control, explore and not explode, a preternatural other plane with the power to maintain." "Yeh this is living." "Life is what you make it."
I just wanted to say Merry Christmas to Hippiemom's family and let them know that we are thinking of them. Also, to everyone that she touched which is quite a few people. Love her and miss her.
I thought about her last night and today.
That's why I wasn't upset about not getting my kids any presents this year and was thankful for our health and still having a roof.
But anyway... Hippiemom's family were in my thoughts as I'm sure everyone else too.
xoxoxo to everyone here.
Belated Merry Xmas to everyone!

I'm sorry to hear about this hard time you are going through. The number of replies to this thread reflects her popularity. We're all with you. I wish you all the best. I'm really sorry for your loss
i've been thinking about laura, and her family, a LOT. it breaks my heart. no matter what, i would feel the same, but i guess especially around the holidays...it's even more palpable.
I'm at a loss for words...this was the last thing I was expecting to come here and read today. It's just not fair.
Laura's light here and in life was just so rare and special. Her spirit and fire were unmatched. I will miss and be thinking of you always my dear friend.
If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.
Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth.
-Oscar Wilde
Wow...I really don't know what to say...i may not have always agreed w/ her but she always stuck to her guns...she was always a true friend who could easily put differences aside and be there for somebody...it sounds cliched but there really wasn't anyone like her
some of it may not apply, obviously, but it's the sentiment
Tool - 10,000 Days (wings Pt. 2) Lyrics
We listen to the tales and romanticize
How we follow the path of the hero
Boast about the day when the rivers overrun
How we'll rise to the height of our halo
Listen to the tales as we all rationalize
Our way into the arms of the savior
Fading all the trials and the tribulations
None of us have actually been there
Not like you
Ignorant fibbers in the congregation
Gather around spewing sympathy, spare me
None of them could even hold a candle up to you
Blinded by choices hypocrites won't seek
But enough about the collective Judas
Who could deny you were the one
Who would have made it?
You'll have a piece of the divine
This little light of mine
The gift you passed on to me
I'm gonna let it shine
To guide you safely on your way
Your way home
Oh, what are they gonna do
When the lights go down
Without you to guide them all to Zion?
What are they gonna do when the rivers overrun
Other than tremble incessantly?
High as a wave,
But I'll rise on up off the ground
You are the light and the way
They'll only read about
I only pray heaven knows
When to lift you out
Ten thousand days in the fire is long enough
You're going home
You're the only one who can
Hold your head up high
Shake your fist at the gates saying,
I have come home now
Fetch me the spirit, the son and the father
Tell them their pillar of faith has ascended
It's time now
My time now
Give me my
Give me my wings
You are the light, the way
That they will only read about
Set as I am in my ways and my arrogance
Burden of proof tossed upon all non-believers
You were my witness, my eyes, my evidence
Judith Marie, unconditional one
Daylight dims leaving cool fluorescence
Difficult to see you in this light
Please forgive this bold suggestion
Should you see your maker's face tonight
Look 'em in the eye
Look 'em in the eye and tell 'em
I never lived a lie, never took a life
But surely saved one, hallejullah
It's time for you to bring me home
standin above the crowd
he had a voice that was strong and loud and
i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
eager to identify with
someone above the crowd
someone who seemed to feel the same
someone prepared to lead the way
You will be missed Laura, you were a true friend to all of us. My heart goes out to her close friends and family. Perhaps we can all reflect on this difficult time and come to realize how small and insignificant our daily trials are compared to the hardships this woman faced over the last few years.
Hippiemom was always really nice to me.
That's the best way I can say it, and it's how I will always remember her.

I'm very sorry to hear this. This is a terrible, shit thing to happen. I only knew her through her posts on here, but I always thought she was one of, if not the most intelligent person on here, and one of the nicest. My thoughts go out to her and her family, especially during the holidays.
my god, i am so, so sad and sorry to hear about hippiemom's passing. i haven't been reading this thread much lately because i just assumed all was well and everyone was wishing her continued health. her passing is a great loss to all of us, though heaven's got another angel to call its own.
my deepest sympathy to her family.

oh my God! I can't believe it. How horrible. I really thought she was doing fine. I haven't been on here for probably months. I would have been praying for her everyday if I had known. My heart goes out to her family and friends. This news is really just too aweful for words. Just want you all to know that I love you and that Pearl Jam fans are the best.
I've used hammers made out of wood
I have played games with pieces and rules..
I've deciphered tricks at the bar...
But now you're gone,... I haven't figured out why...
I've come up with riddles... and jokes about war...
I've figured out numbers and what they're for...
I've understood feelings.. and I've understood words...
But how could you be taken away?...
And wherever you've gone...and wherever we might go...
It don't seem fair...today just disappeared...
Your light's reflected now,... reflected from afar...
We were but stones,... your light made us stars
With heavy breath,... awakened regrets...
Back pages and days alone that could have been spent,
Together... but we were... miles apar...t
Every inch between us becomes light years now...
No need to be void,... or save up on life...
You got to spend it all.....
And wherever you've gone... and wherever we might go...
It don't seem fair...you seemed to like it here...
Your light's reflected now,... reflected from afar
We were but stones,... your light made us stars
And wherever you've gone... and wherever we might go...
It don't seem fair...today just disappeared...
Your light's reflected now,... reflected from afar...
We were but stones,... your light made us stars
You're an angel when you sleep
How I want your soul to keep
On and on around the bend
Laura,
your name sounds like morning,
and morning sounds silent now...
How is the music up there?
I bet it is incredible...
all those songs that got lost on earth
I bet they are filling your sky...
I wish I could hear'em with you.
Silence was never so
empty before
And morning never so
silent before...
And how is the dawn from up there?
All those dawns that got lost on earth...
I bet they are hugging your soul.
I wish I was dawn
so I could finally hug you.
