Here is my dear friend Laura Akard, as Audrey (I played opposite her as Seymour) in Little Shop of Horrors many years ago at Monterey Peninsula College. Earlier this year, Laura tragically lost her life in a hit-and-run accident as she was crossing the street with her shopping cart in Seaside, CA, the shopping cart that held all her worldly belongings. You see, Laura had become homeless, which I had not known until recently. What makes Laura's death even more tragic, is the fact that friends did all they could to help Laura (getting her a place to live, a job, etc.), however what I also did not know was that Laura struggled terribly with mental illness... which is ultimately what led to her candle blowing out far to early. May my dear friend Laura rest in heavenly peace, as she sings and dances with the angels... and who was an angel to me in so many productions, when she would take hours of her own personal time to work with me on my choreography for whatever dance number I happened to be struggling with at the time... thank you Laura, from the bottom of my heart. I am so sorry that I wasn't there to be able to help you in your time of need.
