Im speechless after just reading the news, sad sad day.

Laura was a star, she was very professional and had a wicked sense of humour.

We know your answer already!!!    A Message for Taera  < link

Takes a while to load and a couple of refreshes but made us all laugh at the time.

She was a great sport and had an awesome sense of pride she will be missed!

Ben.

RIP.

I barely knew her, but in PM's she was always very kind.

Wow... rest in peace... :(

Definately a shock,

Thanks for all the work you've done here and elsewhere, My condolences go out to her family and her extended MMORPG family.

You will be missed.

I am regretfully sorry to come here and read of this tragedy. I really hate it when people who are younger than me pass away. I will make sure everyone involved in PlaneShift is informed of her demise to respect everything she has done here. To me, she was the greatest supporter of indie MMOs on this website, and she was a well established and irreplaceable part of this industry considering her age.

Also on Warcry.

May her soul lift up to the heavens.

I hope her family is okay, very sad to see these things happend.

May God keep you and bless you, Laura

Collision kills 1, injures another on Ben White Blvd.

If this was the cause, then I don't understand why the hush hush unless alcohol was involved and she was responsible. Does no one at MMORPG.com know what happened?

One person is dead and another injured, after a collision Friday afternoon in the 900 block of West Ben White Boulevard.

The incident happened shortly before 4 p.m.

All but one lane were closed while rescuers extracted one of the victims from the vehicle.

That person was transported, but his/her condition is uncertain.

Authorities haven't released either identity.

"If this was the cause, then I don't understand why the hush hush unless alcohol was involved and she was responsible. Does no one at MMORPG.com know what happened?"

It's called notification of next of kin.and discretion on MMORPG's part

Anyways my condolences to her familly.

"The Light"

In the darkness
  The bleak black night
Stands a haven
  A tiny light

A tiny light to spark a fire
  A tiny light to brighten the path
A tiny light, the heart's desire
  In the big black sea of wrath

A piece of heaven in the hell
  Where all sane souls may freely dwell
In the darkness
  The bleak black night
Stands -my- haven
                -My- tiny light

That accident was on the 15th, Laura  passed away on the 13th.  I would assume you could send flowers here: http://dignity.mem.com/Story.aspx?ID=2579024

As the old saying goes

"Only the Good die young" 

RIP Laura.   We will miss you but we will never forget all the "great" you brought to this world.

God Bless her and her family.  Nothing more tragic than the early death of a young person.

I didn't know her, but for your comments I suppose she was young. It's truly sad to know that a young person dies.

RIP

My condolences.

God be with her and her family.

Though I don't recall ever seeing her work before, from what I read she was extremely nice (even when banning people!) and did her job as community manager the way it should be done. Sad such a great and young person has to die.

When you were born, you cried
and the world rejoiced.
Live your life
so that when you die,
the world cries and you rejoice.

So with this shot I drink tonight, I toast to let those above know that another Gamer enters the gates.

Didn't know her, never spoke to her, but it's my belief that every soul should be respected as it passes from here to the next.

Good journey to you Laura.

Rest in peace Laura. My thoughts and prayers are with your family and friends.

I sometimes think of this poem when I mourn my dead parents.

"Remember me when I am gone away.
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand.
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you planned:
Only remember me: you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had.
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than you should remember and be sad."
~ Christina Rossetti
