My dear friends Linda and Lawrie we go back a long time. I was the original first Girl About Town with the boys in our little room in 47 Victoria St. It is a very sad loss of our Lawrie. I send my love to you Linda from my heart in Australia.

Dear Linda,

I was so very sorry to hear of Laurie's passing. My deepest condolences to you and your family. Laurie was a smashing human, great company and always in good form. I remember fondly my time with him and the Perman Shield Team at Sundridge Park. We had many great days and he was central to this.
You are in my thoughts at this most difficult of times.
We are consoled by the man he was and this life he lived.
Bed of heaven to you Laurie.

your friend
Dugsie,
Monsea
