My Darling Laurie:
How many days and nights did we hunker together? Talking,singing(i out of key, of course)and just looking at what would have been distant rainbows clearing our already mutual dreams. I miss you terribly to this day and at 60+ we would have rocked. Love ya girl. Deborah

She was truly the most unbelievable talent and the most wonderful person. I miss her every day, I would say she was taken too soon but I know she was just an angel on this earth and that she was needed back in heaven. I love you Laurie.

Laurie...I have loved you forever...God surely has my special angel...Happy Birthday my TL....You will forever be in my heart sweet lady...B

Remembering Laurie,with love on her birthday.Your beauty,your gifts,your inspiration live on. Rest well darling girl. Judy G.

Laur,
Today would have been your sixtieth birthday. Your spirit continues to guide me. Love... your Claud

Thinking of you today as I do every day. What a void you've left, but how grateful I am that you were here at all.

Unfortunately, I never had the pleasure of knowing my Auntie Laurie personally. However, I feel her spiritually wherever I go and think of her always. I can feel her love when I listen to my mom's stories about her and when I read about the lives she's touched on this website. I'm so thankful for this site and others like it because they make sure her memory never fades. I love her very much and she is missed.

I miss you beyond words, dear sis. You would be so very proud of Julian, Brett, Evan and Dolly - your legacy runs deeply within them, and all of your beloveds, every day xxoo

15 yrs. still missing you ♥

Remember Laurie on this sad day. You would be so proud of your websites. They are really a great walk down memory lane. Bless you Laurie, Love Jack & Sue.

I miss Laurie sooo much. She was an inspiration to angels! <3

I met Laurie when she was about 19-20 and when we were both doing the talent show circuit in NY. We used to hang out every week at a great spot on the corner of 31st and Third called the "Good Times." At that time it was mostly comedians and I was the male singer most of the time and Laurie was the gal of course. We both rehearsed with Marc Malamed who went on to a great career of his own and was the house pianist most of the time. Laurie could belt out a song and always blew the crowd away with "New York, New York." We even got a few free drinks from Rico the owner which was the extent of our pay at that time.The three of us used to do many of the clubs together as Marc played for both of us and we both rehearsed with him in his West side apt.Laurie was this raw natural talent who at such a young age moved people and we knew that greater things were on the horizon for her.I got drawn into the business world and didn't pursue my passion but followed Laurie's rise. I was at her first solo nightclub show and went to see her when she appeared at the "Ballroom" and when she was on Broadway including Annie. She was innocent, sweet and emotional and always wanted to do her best even when she wasn't getting paid. And that emotion certainly came out in her performances and brought her to stardom. I often think about those early days with her and Marc and am glad I was part of the early magic and as you can see so many years later still has it's effect. I remember vividly as we sat in the corner of the Good Times cheering each other on and hoping an agent would come in and discover us as did all the acts.
Laurie was one of the special ones in many ways and although we lost touch I am still touched today when I hear her sing and think about how lucky I was to have known her and the world is lucky to be able to hear her forever.

It is a strange occurrence, when you find yourself shedding tears, for someone you have never met... who's gift has touched you for many years... I have CD's by Laurie... never saw her on stage, but grew up with her in "Joseph"... The loss of a great gift...

Spent a great day with Ma on your birthday xxoo Love you to the moon xxoo I'll always be your lil sis

omg! it's a long story how i got to laurie's website tonight, but let's just say it was meant to be!
and her birthday! i've got chills...
generally, it's very hard for me to think of my friend without feeling huge sadness at her inaccessibility to me; but still, i think of her -- and her awesome family -- often. and i always think "i've got to get in touch with claudia and jane", and then what do i do???? Not get in touch!
but i know we're always connected on some level, cause that's why i was led to this site tonight. [and, fyi, i called laurie's apt the day she passed after not talking to her for a long time. ] things like that -- and this -- make me feel happy that our friendship has always gone beyond this transient life.
happy birthday, my dear friend.

What an impact; and lasting impression you made while God Graced us with your preseance, as is evident by the heartfelt remembrances from family, friends and fans. You will never be forgotten. <3

miss ya Laur - you never left my heart or mind...

I miss you, Laur.

Laurie Beechman was my aunt and I wish that I could have had the great pleasure of getting to know her. It gives me pride to have a connection to such an inspirational person who has touched so many people. I am able to experience and appreciate what a great person she was through reading this sign in book and reading about all the people she has touched. She is missed dearly

Laurie Beechman was my aunt, and I had the pleasure of loving her for the first 8 years of my life in human form, and forever spiritually. I thank this website and the contributors everyday. It is truly special to have her memory live on and I just wanted to say thank you on this special day of remembrance, March 8.

All my love every minute of every day

I first learned of Laurie Beechman when I watched an ice skater perform to "Climb Every Mountain." I was absolutely enchanted--had to find the album, then learned of Laurie's career and battle with ovarian cancer. I'm giving the album to my cousin who is also a courageous warrior against this disease. God bless you all for sharing the gift of her life and Laurie for sharing her gift of music. I shall walk for the cure and wear teal in honor of them both!

I was Priveledged to have had Laurie record my song "After The Fall" she was a wonderful singer and I regret never having met her.

I did the first national tour of Cats with laurie. We were very close..she had the greatest smile and loved drama as well..a true thespian. She blew the audience away every night with Memory. She and I did some crazy stunts together..and laughed for hours in our Boston apartments. She had the "star" dressing room in the Shubert and it was painted this awful purple for Liz Taylor who had just been there...it was a color ready to make anyone puke. We cracked up. I blew my voice out and she took me to the scariest doctor in NYC for drops...if I couldda howled I would have. I felt like the office was from WWII} Her last night in Boston, she walked out on the stage after her final performance and walked the stage...staring out at the house...I said " what are you doing?" I am sure I was ready for our ususal after work cocktail...she said "hang on...I just want to say goodbye." She was the best. I cried when I heard she had passed but will always remember her as the crazy, fun awesome person she was.

Tonight, I introduced someone to Laurie who had never heard of her. We watched many clips on You Tube and he was blown away--couldn't believe what he had missed.

Thank you to Rabbi Ben Kamin for introducing our family to Laurie and her magnificent brand of living.
