    Rest in Peace Laura. It's not fair that the best people are often taken away too soon. My thoughts are with your family.

    I didn't know her as well as others on here but she was always seemed super nice. Sent me a PM once to give me a head's up on a loon etc. Just seemed very cool. My thoughts are with her family and loved ones right now. You will be missed, hippiemom. May you always be at future PJ shows in spirit.

    She had a huge impact here on the boards....I can't imagine the impact she had "in real life".

    It don't seem fair........

    I don't know what to say. This very sad. My condolences to her family, friends and to everyone here that knew her. I first read about this and was speechless so I went downstairs to plod around with some work and "Throw your arms around me" was playing on the radio. That'll be my song for her now. RIP Hippiemom the worlds a poorer place without you.

    This is so freakin sad!

    I'm going to miss her very much! She was the sweetest person here! I'm going to miss her posts on the moving train very much as she was one of my political comrades.

    I never met her in person but I feel like I lost a very good friend.

    So sad

    I never spoke with her or met her but I did read her posts

    She is at peace

    My Condolences to her Family

    Edit : It's not a PJ song but I thought it fit well for those of you that were close with her



    "In Loving Memory"

    Thanks for all you've done
    I've missed you for so long
    I can't believe you're gone
    You still live in me
    I feel you in the wind
    You guide me constantly

    I've never knew what it was to be alone, no
    Cause you were always there for me
    You were always there waiting
    And ill come home and I miss your face so
    Smiling down on me
    I close my eyes to see

    And I know, you're a part of me
    And it's your song that sets me free
    I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
    I sing tonight cause it comforts me

    I carry the things that remind me of you
    In loving memory of
    The one that was so true
    Your were as kind as you could be
    And even though you're gone
    You still mean the world to me

    I've never knew what it was to be alone, no
    Cause you were always there for me
    You were always there waiting
    But now I come home and it's not the same, no
    It feels empty and alone
    I can't believe you're gone

    And I know, you're a part of me
    And it's your song that sets me free
    I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
    I sing tonight cause it comforts me

    I'm glad he set you free from sorrow
    I'll still love you more tomorrow
    And you will be here with me still

    And what you did you did with feeling
    And You always found the meaning
    And you always will
    And you always will
    And you always will


    And I know, you're a part of me
    And it's your song that sets me free
    I sing it while I feel I can't hold on
    I sing tonight cause it comforts me

    It's been a while since I've really been on the Pit, but I've come back on recently and noticed this. How very sad. I talked to hippiemom a few times through PM's, and we ended up going to the very same BHIC show, although I never saw her. We exchanged numbers so we could meet up but it never happened. It feels weird having someone's phone number in my cell that I can never call now.

    Really puts things in perspective. All the wonderful memories I'm sure she had and the family and friends and it's a lesson to cherish everything to the absolute fullest extent. I am however glad she is no longer suffering. I believe she had a daughter around my age, she mentioned her a few times.

    I will play that version of Long Road right now for her and her family and friends and everyone that held her close.

    This is truly a sad day, and my heart goes out to her family and friends and all of you.

    If you take nothing from this, atleast know that you need to live life to the fullest EVERYDAY!! I am not saying saying that she didnt because I didnt know her personally, but life is SO SO precious.

    I used to be an angry person that came here and everywhere looking to start a fight or get inthe middle of something, and over the last few years, I have lost some friends and aquaintances to various illnesses, and nearly lost someone I use to think would be there forever. I have really changed and look at things differently.

    Do not hold grudges...Do not take things for granted...tell the ones you care for that you love them whenever you can. You never know when life will be snatched right out from under you.

    RIP
