"Frank, my thoughts and prayers are with you and the family. I am thinking back to the times Laurie would bring Jenny and Mariette to visit you in the basement office at Henry Clay. I enjoyed those visits greatly, as Laurie was so lively, full of fun, and clearly such a nice person. Your daughters were nice, intelligent girls, who I could tell you and Laurie loved very much. I recall the psychometry reading you allowed me to do with the personal object from your home. You were a great supervisor to work for, and an excellent Head Custodian. I still get to the Bay a lot, and think of you whenever I drive by the Middle School. You'll see Laurie again. God bless. "
In loving memory of
Laurie Rae Bauer
