Laura Ann Edwards 1974 - 2010

Laura's obituary ran in yesterday's edition of the Conroe Courier. As is my tradition, I am posting it here as well:
Laura Edwards, 36, of Alexandria, Virginia, passed away July 25th 2010 with her family by her side. She is survived by her parents Mr. and Mrs. D.V. Edwards of Conroe, her brother Michael Edwards, brother-in-law Christopher Bride of Dallas, and her boyfriend Josh Rouch of Washington, DC as well as her second family, Tom and Sue Burgess and their children Seth, Zeke and Paul. Laura was surrounded by a strong network of co-workers and friends and will be sorely missed.

Laura was born February 14th, 1974 in Seguin, Texas, grew up in Conroe, Texas, graduating from Conroe High School. She earned a BA in Architecture from the University of Houston before embarking on a successful career in architecture. She designed as well as managed projects focused on the healthcare industry for HKS in Dallas, CSD in Baltimore, and Ellerbe Becket in Washington, DC. Her skill and dedication has left a legacy that will be felt in hospitals across the country.

Laura's memorial service will be held on Saturday August 14th at 2:00pm at the First Methodist Church in Conroe. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to MD Anderson Cancer Center or St. Jude Children's Cancer Center.
It's been almost three weeks since "Monsterchick" passed away, and I still can't believe it. She will be greatly missed.
