He has always supported her through the ups and downs of her life. Laure loved the outdoors, yard work, biking, painting and making wind chimes. Laure never met a stranger and was always willing to help others with whatever you needed her to do. She loved to salvage old treasures and bring them back to life. She was preceded in death by her parents, Elise and Otto Foerster, her Brothers Richard and Raymond Foerster ,Nephew Randy Foerster and Niece Ashley Asel . She is survived by her Son, Jason, his fiancé Brittney and their two sons Jett & Jaxon , Sisters Jean and Kathy, sisters-in-law Sandy Foerster and many wonderful nieces and nephews. “God looked around his garden and found an empty place. He then looked down upon the earth and saw your tired face. He put his arms around you and lifted you to rest. God’s garden must be beautiful, He always takes the best. He knew that you were suffering, He knew you were in pain. He knew that you would never get well on earth again. He saw the road was getting rough and the hills were hard to climb. So he closed your weary eyelids and whispered, “Peace be Thine”. It broke our heart to lose you, but you didn’t go alone. For part of us went with you the day God called you home.” Memorial Service will be held at Aria Cremation Service and Funeral Home Thursday September 15, 2016 at 1pm. Please leave the family condolences and share memories on this website. Arrangements are under the direction of: ARIA Cremation Service & Funeral Home 10116 E.

    Really no words can express our feelings of loss. Laurie was like family and a third daughter to my mother. Her tender care, loving and genuine spirit will never be forgotten. Much love Toni Niles

    I have wondered where you went. I have searched and found nothing until today. I am so sad to know I will never see you again. I honestly thought you were just gone for a bit but would be back. I looked through my phone and saw our last text was on June 26, 2016. You made a hair appt for the beginning of July. I will miss you my friend and I will always remember you! I will cherish the gifts you have given me and I will never forget your friendship! I will miss you dearly and think of you fondly. ❤️Amber

"If I could give 6 stars I would. Aria made a difficult easier to deal with by basically taking care of everything in an efficient but very empathetic manner. I can speak highly enough of Dusty Martin, who helped us with all of the planning and logistics. He was incredibly understanding and helpful."

"Nothing prepares you for the grief you go through when losing a child. I called this funeral home at 2:00 am broken and could barely talk. The amount of compassion and empathy they showed me immediately let me know I found the right place to cremate my son. I cannot thank them enough for their professionalism, SINCERE concern, and commitment to making sure my son was honored in the most respectful way. I hope this Funeral home values her as much as my family and I do."

"I can’t say enough about how helpful and professional Dusty Martin, the funeral director at the Aria Cremation location on NW Highway has been. From my initial call, he was kind and informative. My friend died at home while on hospice and she was picked up in about an hour after receiving the call from the hospice nurse. The person who arrived to pick her up was also very professional/respectful and allowed us to take as much time with her as we wished. When I met with Dusty the next day about arrangements, he explained the process and options available without being pushy or trying to “sell” extras. Throughout the process, he kept me informed and, for example, was careful to be certain I understood the cost of the obituary I wanted and offered some options for reducing that cost if I wished. When I stopped by for another reason and started talking about some of the problems I was having with the pictures and media I hoped to use at a memorial lunch I was planning, he not only listened patiently but offered technology advice and let me use his personal media player. I have had experience arranging cremations for four others using two other local companies, and this experience with Dusty at Aria has been by far the best one I have had."

"My Daddy’s service and our family experience at Aria Northwest Highway was truly blessed. Funeral Director Dustin Martin is the kind of person that you would like to see on a more regular basis – but in his industry – you hope to not see him that often. That being said – THANK YOU DUSTIN for your unending kindness, compassion and friendship through the process. Meeting you and discussing Dallas History, Find A Grave and my Dad’s lifelong contributions to the great City of Dallas was simply wonderful! In memory of my dad James A. Dodd, Sr. – I want to personally thank you and let you know that you made everything better in that moment. Your calling to “Be There” is spot on. Aria has a one in a million guy in you! Bling Blinky of TEXAS Shout Out: God Bless You!!"
