Executive Director

Laura lost her third child, Terrah, to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome in 1994 and Angel Eyes (formerly called The Colorado SIDS Program) reached out immediately. Laura has hosted lobster dinners for over 200 guests, founded the Angel Walk (formally the Walk to Remember) as well as, On The Wings Of Angels Motorcycle Poker Run in 2016. In 2014, she joined the Board of Directors. “Now that my children are grown, they too support Angel Eyes by volunteering and chairing events. It is our family’s way of honoring Terrah.”

Administrative Assistant

This is a return to Angel Eyes for Lori as she filled in for a year as a staff member in 2019. She has been connected to Angel Eyes since 1994 when her youngest daughter, Darby, died of SIDS. At that time, it was known as The Colorado SIDS Program and was instrumental in helping her to navigate the grief process by utilizing all the great services that are still offered to family members impacted by the loss of an infant. With their support she was able to transition to the advocate side as a resource to other parents as well as participating as a volunteer at events and presentations with an emphasis on Safe Sleep. She is a registered Safe Sleep Ambassador. Her current position of Administrative Assistant is a continuation of her commitment to honor Darby by providing support in administrative tasks as well as acting as liaison to other agencies and organizations to further the mission of Angel Eyes.
