I worked with Laurie.  She was a pleasure to be around, was wonderful to work with, and was highly knowledgeable and excellent at what she did.   She will be missed by all of us at Kutak.  

I have known Laurie since our 4th grade. She was a friend so long who always called me on my birthday.  She worked so hard and loved her mom so much. Her heart was so full when Randy came back into her life.  Her love for him was endless. She  laughed so easily and I will miss hearing that distinctive sound.  I know she is in the arms of angels. 

Laurie is a very special friend to me. I won't say was because she always will be a special friend. I have known Laurie since elementary school. She was always so much fun to be around. When she was with you it was about being with you. Laurie introduced me to the love of horses and what they add to your life. To this day, I still have horses. I think of Laurie all the time when I am with them. My first horse was Laurie' mare, Molly.  I loved being with Laurie and hearing her laugh. So many wonderful memories. My heart is filled with sorrow for her family, her wonderful loving mother and sister.  Rest in peace my dearest friend. I miss you so much.

My deepest condolences to Laurie’s family and her close friends that she spoke so often of.  Laurie and I worked together, but would also meet for lunch on the weekends as well as text often with our friend, Sandy Orvis.  We laughed so hard sometimes.  It was great fun!  Laurie was so caring of others, and I appreciate all of the advice she gave me over the years.  She is gone too soon and will be missed by many.   Rest in peace, my friend.

Laurie, my Buddy. 

I called her Buddy, she called me Badge (short for Honey Badger). We started at Kutak just days apart over 18 years ago. It took us a while, but we eventually because very close friends. Working out together, running to Starbucks together, makeup shopping at Sephora together, grabbing salads together, and oftentimes laughing and talking too loudly in the hallways together. 
I miss you, Buddy. And I love you. I can't believe you are gone. 

My heart is with Laurie's family and her best, BEST lifelong friend Laura Jean, who's hearts, I know, like the rest of ours, are completely broken right now. 

A co-worker of mine for many years.  We shared many lunches together and long nights working on projects.  She guided me on how to take care of my first horse when I had no clue! A good friend and beautiful soul.  My heart breaks.  She was loved and will forever be missed .

My deepest condolences to you, Laurie's family.  I know how much you cherished her.  My sympathies to us, Laurie's Kutak family.  She was a favorite among us, as well.  You have lost, we have lost, and the world has lost a bright ray of sunshine; a one of a kind.  

I worked with Laurie for 15 years. When I remember her  - the first thing that comes to mind is her laughter!  It was so contagious and wonderful.  What a great sense of humor she had.  She was also so dang smart!  

While working remotely - we would text each other dance videos to "Get up off your Chair and Dance" -  The song Titanium was one that made me think of her resiliency and strength.

Love you, Laurie!

Laurie was a wonderful, funny and upbeat presence in our office. Rest in peace, Laurie. We miss you.

Dear Cousin Laurie,
How sad we are that you are gone. I will always treasure the memories I have of spending summer time with you, Cyndee, Aunt Marty, and Uncle Ken. You helped teach me how to not be afraid of horses ( they were so big back when I was a little kid) and I loved it when we’d go out to the barn and feed them treats! Playing in your big yard at the ranch was so much fun. We would stay out and play in the rain as long as we could until Aunt Marty made us come in and had fresh baked cookies ready for us all. We will so miss your smiling face and infectious laugh, my cousin. Say Hi to Uncle Ken for us. ❤️

Went to 4 Th thorough 1972 Senior with Laurie , I ,  Laurie , Cherie Hansen and her husband  walk over to Friday night 50 year Reunion party . I will miss her ! God Bless her Sole ! 

I am so very sorry for you loss. I remember Laurie so fondly. I worked with her. She was so interested in hearing stories of my solo travels and decided to go for it and travel solo, herself. I remember her saying how much she loved the horses at a stop she made while traveling on a tour. She just wanted to nuzzle them. Laurie will surely be missed.

Oh Laurie!  Over 60 years ago, your family moved in from California across the street from us. Whoever would’ve guessed the happy, very special friendship, and ‘family’ ties that were created then,  now continue all these years later.

The memories of times together, camping, fishing, water skiing, swimming.  Your Mom and Dad were my parents best friends!  And you and Cyndee mine as well. Moves and life changes woven throughout our lives always brought us together again. You buying Roger’s condo 29 years ago tied us together again.  

So happy we talked in September.  RIP as Jesus welcomed you into heaven and as you spend time with many who love you.  

Love,

Roger and Jeri

Laurie was a valued coworker of mine and a very dear friend. We shared many tears and laughter together. The hardest goodbyes are always the ones we don’t get to say. I will have wonderful memories of Laurie in my heart forever. 

My Dear Cousin Laurie,
We first met in the summer of 1956….you were 2 and I was 3.  My family drove from Colorado Springs to visit Torrance, California where you lived.  I don’t think either one of us did well at then 1 year old Disneyland.  Fast forward to the summers of 1967 and 1968….I had the thrill of spending several weeks with you, Cindy and your Mom & Dad in Littleton at the horse rancho.  You and Cindy taught me to waterski as your Dad drove the boat at the  Bensen reservoir.  Camping at what is now the base of Snowmass.  By the way, you were the only cousin to ever ride on the back of a motorcycle with me.  Would that I have attended more Atnip family reunions to spend just a little extra time with you.
 I cherish the memories of you Laurie,
With love, 
Cousin Steve Sutherland 

Praying God’s Blessing of strength and comfort to your family and friends.

Mary Ruth Jaeger,
Friend

Oh, Laurie,

For all of the times we went shopping.  For all of the lunches we had at Nordstrom’s.  For all of the shopping for shoes and clothes.  For all of our trips to Sundance.  For all of the laughing.  For all of the tears, I will always be grateful that I got to do them with you.  You gave of yourself, not only to your friends, but to your family and to your job and anything else that helped others.  You were like a human bandaid and always had a shoulder to cry on if anyone needed one.  Your heart was as big as your love for others.  Your kindness was immeasurable.  For these, and for many other selfless things you did, I will always be grateful.  Fly with the angels, my dear friend, for now you are one of them.  I love you.  💔

I am so glad I got to see you and your mom and your sister Cyndee in the summer of 2021, but so sad you are gone. We had such fun when we were kids in California and later when you moved to Colorado on the ranch. You are with your father now in heaven. You will be missed.
Cousin Pam Daniels Parr

I can't believe you are gone. You have lived above me for 21 years, and I miss hearing your footsteps. We were not only neighbors, we were friends.  Thanks for the time we were able to spend being there for one another.  Rest in peace my sweet Laurie.
