Your Words CB

Lara...yes....this is a personal note to you because i know your watching us...all of us.......In the 3 years I've known you...you've become not just a name in Champagne Breakfast...but a friend to all that that dwells there. You have shown us what laughter is...and you let us know that is was okay to cry when needed. I know you've done that for me. When i hear "Kiss The Rain", I'll remember all the times you and I cried and were eachothers shouders to cry on. I'll not only remember the tears...but all the laughter that you brought into each of our lives......your laughter that will now echo forever in Champagne Breakfast.
You will be forever in our hearts. Your happy now....and for whatever reason the good Lord thought it was your time, I'll except it....I will not be sad...that your gone...knowing your at peace....but I will be happy for the memories that you left me with. Im happy to have the priveledge to know you and to be graced with the wonderful memories that you left behind.. You are truly an Angel....Thank you Lara. I Love you~!

Lara was one of my oldest friend and one of the first regs of Cb.Throughout the years we had each others shoulder to cry on if we needed.I will always hold special memories in my heart for Lara and my soul will never forget how she could lighten up a room, her giggle, her tenderness,and the goodness of her heart.She will always remain and part of me and CB. Lara you will be missed greatly and we love you Dear. We will always love you.Rest well.
With Deepest Sympathy,

Maggie, I'm not poetic, but Lara was my friend. To say the least I was shocked this morning to find out that I would no longer get to tell her to be nice, to bask in the compliments about my writing that she was so willing to give, to laugh as we told some snert in CB to get out (her speciality), or just to keep each other company. She was always there to support me, ask what was wrong when I wasn't being "cheery", or to cuss some newbie up and down when they put me down. To her family, I would like to express my deepest sympathies. I loved Lara and I can only imagine with my feeling of loss, what they are feeling. I wish them strength.

When I'm down when my soul's in need of rest
come your words of comfort and of hope
I see your face always smiling back at me
a stream of light shining straight to the heart
Child of God...child of light
there'll be no more lonely nights
'cause you have brightened up my life
There's a road that leads me to this place
a path of love running straight to the heart
Over the years I've learned one important thing
it's that real friends shall never truly be apart
you were there in my darkest time of need
with a hand reaching straight to the heart
Child of God...child of light
there'll be no more lonely nights
'cause you have brightened up my life
Take this gift it is all I have to give
a prayer of love forever straight to the heart
Lara you will live forever in our hearts....
you brought many happy moments our way
your memory will live forever...

Many of you may allready know, and some of you may be reading this for the first time... this week has brought to us the harshest of trajedies. the loss of a loved one. I feel confident in saying this for each and everyone of you because i know the kind of woman Lara is. She just has a way of getting into yourheart. Even just after an arguement she can bring you back. She always has a way of getting inside of you. Some of you may notice that i am not using past tense in referring to Lara. That is because I believe the she will always live on in each and every one of us. It was her nature to nurture, she is mother, sister, best friend, and more to each of us.
Thank you,
Sean

You did great! Lara touched more hearts than I imagine she knows. She
was a true CB Godess, and her hammock will continue to hang in CB for
her to curl up any time she wants. I guess none of us will get that
pic of her now! We have visions of her though, in our hearts.
This is yet another reminder that we should cherish each day we are
here and make the most of our situations. With many illnesses in mine
and Dave's families right now, along with the recent passing of my
Grandmother, we cannot take for granted the existence of each other. I
see that so clearly now.
Lara... keep those angels in check! Don't let em be peekin up yer
skirt!! And don't be eatin no lime jello!! Oh.. and... straighten yer
halo, it's kinda crooked . You make a beautiful angel, Lara.

this is indeed a horrible thing, honestly i can't think of the words to
describe it, but i'd like to say a few things if i could:
aimee and lara have been friends of mine for many years (irl). i speant
many many hours whether it was at church or in the parking lot of 'The Hut',
just sitting around talking and flingin insults. I very much agreed with
the statement up above "send you running for a dictionary to look up her
insults". but that wasn't the side of lara that i saw most of the time.
even though most of our friendship was speant goofing on each other, nothing
could top the loving, caring person that she is. she would never turn me
away when i needed someone to talk to, and she'd listen with her big ol'
open heart that she had, that she would accept anyone with, and MOST
imporntantly, she always had a hug when ya needed it most (and she gave
darned good ones!!!)
The world is definitely at a loss, but golden streets of Heaven have gained
a true angel.
Go rest high on tha mountian
Lara, your work on earth is done
Go to Heaven a Singin
Love for the Father and the Son
thanks,

Lara, i'm so grateful of the time we had together...you are the most generous woman i ever met...i will miss you every day
Sometimes, i look back, i can still see pictures of you...
And i laugh, to myself, when i think of all those crazy things that we used to do...
Although miles come between us...
Just between you and me...
I Wont Forget You

None of us will ever forget you Lara

When I first came to CB Lara quickly let me in and we became friends fast. One of the things we shared was an intense love of anything involving the Simpsons. She sent me like 20 waves right off the bat. I spent a lot of time talking with her and she is one of the few that really ignited my passion for CB. When I had been off for a while Lara always remembered me and asked how things were going while I was deployed. She was my Cyber constant. She always had a joke and some insight for me. I will miss her with all my heart. To Lara, Im sorry that life didn't always work the way you wanted, of the people I know, you deserved it. May you find peace and happiness in your next place.
With Love

This was written and shared with me by a friend named Bill who you all may know as Thump. Seemed fitting considering I'm too bottled up inside to think of something myself.
A heart of gold stopped beating, two shining eyes at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove, he only takes the best.
God knows ya had to leave us but you did not go alone;
for part of us went with you the day He took you home.
To some you will be forgotten, to others a part of the past;
but to us who loved and lost you, the memory will always last.
-Thump
May we never forget her or the lessons she taught us....

As a baby Lara would get so excited she would just shake her little fists because she didn't know the words to express why she was happy. It could be seeing her Grandma and Grandpa, a puppy or a favorite treat. With beautiful long, dark hair she looked like a doll. She loved to be read to, and when she was older had an insatible appetite for reading. When she was in kindegarten a friend and I visited them when they lived in Colorado. One morning I volunteered to comb her hair and get her dressed for a day. Quite a challenge when I had very short hair and she had lots and lots of long hair. How patient she was with all my pulling and tugging. She grew up to be a loving, caring person. You could see that when she spent time with her brother or nephew. There are things in life that seem impossible to understand. This is one of them.

Sometimes with all the harshness and cynicism that exists online, I've wondered if it has any value as a medium for human warmth and caring. After reading the comments from Lara's friends, I'm certain that it does.
Lara was a voracious reader and she was at home with the written word. I never had the opportunity to chat with her online but I'm sure it was a place that she shined.
Lara always had a smile on her face and joy in her voice. She'll be missed.

I really don't know what to say. Only that CB just won't be the same anymore, and I'll miss her terribly. She was one of the special people I've met that always made me welcome in CB and always brought a smile to my face. Her touch was felt even across thousands of miles and I'll never forget her.
Lotsa luv
