Just remembered.. in March of this year, Laura shaved her head to support St. Baldrick's Foundation in helping to research/find a cure for children's cancer... also to support fellow fan Shana and her daughter Mackenzie...
I remember this well. I got a PM from Laura thanking me for my donation. It made me so happy at the time, to be able to support a good cause. I wish we would find a cure for cancer. Can't believe she's gone :(
Like a cloud dropping rain
I'm discarding all thought
I'll dry up, leaving puddles on the ground
I'm like an opening band for the sun
I can't go on and say how much I knew her because I honestly didn't. I remember a year ago or so I was annoyed with her in AMT and I was drunk and added her on MSN to hurl abuse.
Months later she came online (for the first time) and I remembered why I added her and I joked about my original intentions and apologised. I think she kinda thought that was a little strange, but I'm glad that the whole situation was left on good terms.
Like many others, I didn't know hippiemom. But I do know that she did make the lives better for many others that I am friends with. So in that way she made my life better by making others around me better.

I am very sorry to hear of this tremendous loss. I knew she was battling but I had hoped she was winning. I am very very sorry for all that knew and loved her.
i don't think he'll mind as he has been an active member of this board, particularly AET for a long while...although not around much anymore. a good friend from here shared the news, and it just feels appropriate to put it in this thread.
our dear laura passed away on saturday, december 8th. :( our dear friend Nick1977 became a daddy to a baby girl on saturday, december 8th. a beautiful sense of world symmetry there. as laura was not religious, but perhaps some belief in the 'greater' as in the universe/world order/chaos balance, i think she would like to know of one beautiful baby born into this world on the same day she left it, knowing another child brought up with at least one pearl jam parent.

Thank you for posting this Dreamn...
Exercising her will to lose control...
she lets go
That is the magic of this wonderful band named Pearl Jam.
I never met hippiemom, but because of a love of the same band I became familiar with her on here. I knew she was ill, but I'm glad I got to know how bright and funny she was.
I am very sad.
I love my female wife...
we sit around and wonder exactly why our marriage should feel threatened by gay marriage
I've haven't been here often last weeks, because my moms was in the hospital because she has cancer...... This disease really sucks....
My thoughts and prayers are with h-moms family.
So sorry and I sure hope she beats it! :(
"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."
One thing is for sure and that is its very hard to read this thread without getting very emotional. Its also very obvious that she touched many people's lives and along with that brough happiness and great memorys.
I never met her because I am very new to this board but this thread as touched me. I sincerely hope she walks the Long Road and its a very, very beautiful place. There's no doubting that she sure seems to deserve it.
"First of all, there’s the palpable camaraderie and good feeling you get from the entire band as they smile and nod at each other, and huddle together in various formations throughout the show --- They look like they really like each other. They look stoked!"
I've been waiting all week to reply to this thread. I always enjoyed reading hippymoms posts.I didn't know her,but I love to see when a person,like her,touches so many people.
when you get confused just listen to the music play........

Fuck, I didn't know Hippiemom but I'm so sad for her.... I can't explain......
