My aunt was such an inspiring woman, loving and devoted mother, wife, aunt, sister, and daughter. She always had a moment to spare for all of us, and made sure to always send cards out for birthdays or special occasions! It has been 3 years and yet I still find myself wanting conversation with her, craving a game of rummy with her, to hear her laugh or even a story of her travels. We all miss her so much. I, miss her so much. She was then and will always be such an amazing woman! Every day I aspire to go about life as she would, taking extra time, soaking up the sun, enjoying the memories being made for a great story, carefully ciphering through antiques and finding beauty with-in all the old cracks and withered edges, enjoying delicious food and most importantly surrounding myself with our family. She truly was my inspiration. For anyone reading this now, you must know that its such a beautiful thing, to know such pain does not come without such love ❤️ I am grateful to have loved and been loved by Laurie Kish Thank you from entirety of my heart.

Laurie touched so many people. Those who were lucky enough to cross paths with her will never forget her. She has transformed lives and made us all the better for knowing her. I know she is in Heaven, updating Angel wings so they sparkle a bit more. And adding more oomph to the clouds.

I just want to say that Laurie was a truly wonderful kind, happy and beautiful person. The years we spent together at bioMerieux will be fondly remembered. May God be with you all and know that an Angel is watching over you every day.

What a beautiful soul. Heaven has gained another angel. May she rest in peace. I was lucky enough to work with Laurie at bioMerieux in St. Louis. She will be missed by her bioMerieux family.

Laurie was such a sweet & caring person. She was our neighbor for several years. We had so much fun doing our skits for our baskets. She was an awesome person & I’m sad we didn’t keep better touch once they moved. John & John so sorry for your loss! Prayers for all of you!!💕

I met Laurie in my first year in Missouri 30 years ago and I felt an instant connection with her. I think most people who knew her had a similar experience, becoming fast friends. She was easy to love and someone you just appreciated spending time with. I I’ll also never forget the signature perfume she always wore. I am sad that she no longer shares this earth with us and that I missed the chance to see her one more time. My sincere condolences to John and John II.
