Today I learned about the passing of a wonderful, dear person, Laurie McCaughen. I only knew Laurie as my aquatic fitness instructor - she lead us for at least 8 years or more. It was a promise to myself that I would never miss a class instructed by Laurie; therefore I seldom did. Laurie was always so full of vim and vigor, with the best smile and positive attitude anyone could offer. I am devastated for Laurie's family; she will be sorely missed by all. Sincerely, Adele Ingram

Louis and family, Our sincere condolences to you and your children and the all rest of the extended family. There are no words to express how I wish we could lighten the load. Roger G

Louis, I am truly so sorry to have been reading Laurie's obituary in today's paper. She was so welcoming and helpful to me when I joined Sunglow Travel. Such a joyous spirit. She always had a smile and fun stories to tell. Her thirst for learning was admirable. She made my days at Sunglow much better with her there, My heart goes out to you, Tyra and Coltin. Cherish the happy memories and keep them close. Take care.

Hi Louis,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. I can't imagine the difficult time it is for you, I can only say so sorry and keep you in my prayers. If you ever want to talk, please do not hesitate to call

All the best Louis, miss seen you, hang in there

Dear Louis, Tyra, Coltin & Family,

May you all find comfort and peace in the fondest of memories, and strength through the love and support of family and friends.

Forever in your hearts, rest in peace Laurie.

Sincerest condolences,

Your wonderful, one of a kind, Mom and wife, inspired and energized so many. Her presence at Bearspaw Community Association is missed by many.

Laurie’s smile was contagious and I always enjoyed her stories. I hope your memories of her provide you comfort. Condolences to you Louis, Colton, and Tyra

I didn’t know Laurie well but saw her almost daily when our girls danced together and went to competitions. She was kind, gracious and always up for a visit. She was extremely proud of Tyra, loved watching her dance and on multiple occasions we would sit and talk about the great strides she had taken in acro class. I hope Laurie’s love continues to surround you all even in her physical absence.
