Oh this makes me so sad. I had so many good times with Laura from 1990-92 in Tucson. She was my roomie that second year at UofA Linguistics and made everything better. I would have probably failed semantics without her tutorials on lambda calculus! So many good memories – visiting her family’s wonderful house in the desert, going on runs together, getting to know her horse Bentham, being buoyed by her wonderful smile, and of course doing problem sets together make me smile through my tears today
