I am in total shock having just found out about Laura's passing. I feel awful for not knowing sooner, but life just took us in different directions and we had sadly drifted apart, and didn't share any mutual friends. My sincerest thoughts are with her family, who may remember me as the young pink-haired girl who went everywhere with Laura when she was around 18/19. I was four years younger than Laura when I joined a band with her called Pretty in Pink, but she took me under her wing and we formed a great friendship. Gigs, parties, sleepovers and trips to Camden. I'll always remember her as the girl who wore red and black, and was obsessed with horror, Marilyn Manson and the Murderdolls. She was fun & outgoing, while I was quiet and shy. We were very different but shared some great times, and although we regrettably hadn't spoken for a very long time, I'd kept hold of some notes, photos and gig tickets which I've just spent some time looking through, including a diary she wrote me during her family trip to America, before the days of social media, which I am so glad I hung on to. I wish I had kept in touch, I wish I'd known how unwell she was, I wish I had found out sooner but most of all I wish that she was still here. A great girl who had a huge impact on my life, and will never be forgotten. RIP xxx

Miss you mate, miss you so much. Love you always xxxx

I love you Laura xxxxxxx
