On the anniversary of Justmelaura's passing

I just wanted to say thanks to everybody on MOL for all the comfort, positivity and love expressed and offered in the year since Laura's passing.   The love and kindness expressed and given from members of this community has been a great help to me and Laura's friends and family.

Her memorial remembrance was so awesome and positive to a great degree because of this community.

Laura brought me to SoMa and I love being here, even in the shadow of her presence. 

Her daffodils are in bloom at 9 Coolidge, btw, go by and enjoy them if you can.


Love you!

Dan, even in far away Australia, Laura's memory stills burns brightly.

I'm still wearing orange every day for her (and purple, for my dear friend Sam; they passed within days of each other), and we paused to remember them both, in this household. 

If you ever make it over for a visit, please know you're part of our family. 


Thinking of you and Laura's children. I liked Laura very much.


Thinking of you, Laura, and the rest of the family today.  {Hugs}

She is missed.


A year goes by so quickly - a somewhat faded orange ribbon still hangs on our railing - just can't bring myself to take it down.   She would have been so proud of your efforts to get Bernie's name on the NJ Ballot.   Come to think of it, she would have been right beside you, charming people to sign your petition and  handing out sliders with your crack bread.   Sending good thoughts your way.


Some people are known all over town.  Had politics been her thing she would have been a shoe in candidate. She brought us light and love.  These things stay with us.


She was very special, and her sudden death is so strange to me. I will always remember her fondly as well as the people I met through her, including you, Dan, and her wonderful son, Harry. My daughter speaks very highly of Laura's daughter, whom I met only briefly.


Sending prayers and hugs -- I believe her spirit is with us in her daffodils, and in the spring sunshine.


Laura's light and love continue to surround us all

She is very much missed and always will be remembered


Although I only met her a few times, I always think of her as someone reaching out to bring people together.  Her memorial brought together MOL in all its diversity.  Art was such a gracious host and I don't think I have ever seen so much food.


wow, already a year ?? Unbelievable.  tongue laugh 

She is very missed. 

Below is a picture of my Sammie @ the blue plate when they had recently opened. 


It's funny, but I was thinking of Laura the last few days, not realizing the anniversary was upon us.  I've been meaning to post about the empty BPS. Good Food You Want is still on the door.  tongue laugh 


me too. We all miss her.


I still have a bright orange lei hanging from my rear view mirror. Dan I am so sorry again for your loss of such a wonderful loving and generous partner.


"Good food that you want"


The sign is still on the empty store's door, a reminder of a bit of emptiness in our hearts.


Still miss her. And she reminds me not to take life for granted.


I miss her too, a lot.   She was and always will be a source of light.  


I don't mean to be disrespectful, but every day it's like she's talking to me...

(Can't you just hear her reactions to Trump's campaign?????!!!! Oh heavens, I miss her!)


sending good thoughts - was just thinking of Laura earlier today

Couldn't have said it better!  And joy's comment as well: remembering not to take life for granted.


still have Orange ribbons on two trees on Wyoming, and have never stopped thinking about Laura and her family .
