I am so saddened by the news of your passing my dear and sweet friend , Lara. You will always be remembered by me. You may not be here anymore, but you will live forever in my heart. Your beautiful and sweet smile, your precocious and kind hearted human nature are the things that I remember the most about you. This world is definitely less without your beautiful soul on it. I love you. Forever in my heart.

My deepest condolences to Dolores, Mike, Mira and Kirsty. I have fond memories of spending time with Lara and Kirsty, talking, laughing and doing yoga. Lara introduced me to a beautiful Yoga Retreat center that I still visit. Sending love, strength and peace to you all, Jaye
