Laraine was the Best Friend anyone could know. She had a Great Sense of Humor, was Kind to Everyone and Especially a "Big Heart". I had many good times with Laraine with Coffee, Avon, Shopping Dates or just to Talk or Laugh. She was like a Mother to me and I will truly Miss my "Little Buddy".. Nothing will ever be the same without her, as our Friendship I hold Dear to My Heart and will never forget! Be "Our Guardian Angel Laraine" and please watch over us, until we meet again... Love you & Miss you... Lana & Robbie Swift - Posted by: Lana & Robb Swift (Friends) on: Mar 30, 2015

Laraine has always been patient, kind, and compassionate. Her sense of humour was awesome! My favorite memory of her is the story I call, "Help! I blew up the photocopier Room!." She was working that day, and in the process of changing the ink toner, somehow the ink ended up absolutely everywhere! She was beside herself, and she called on me to help her. lol. I rushed to her aide, not realizing until I walked into work, that the first thing I laid my hands on to wear was an all-white outfit! lol. Needless to say, I told Laraine to go sit in the office, not even look in the direction of the photocopying room, and I'd fix it. lol. She had already spent an hour or two in there, plus with my own 1 - 2 hours, the room became spotless (I ended up looking like Al Johnson - the 1st talkie movie where he plastered black shoe polish on his face!). Took Laraine and I years to speak of it, but we had those knowing looks, and when we did speak of it, we laughed so much! Turned out to be one of my most hilarious stories to tell. Of course, at the time, we were hush-hush - no need for any supervisor to know about it! lol. She was a riot, a good friend, and I shall miss her greatly. - Posted by: April Girardeau (Friend and ex-co-worker) on: Mar 28, 2015
