ESTRADA, LAURY GORDON Of Alexandria, VA, passed away unexpectedly on November 28, 2004. She was 46. She is survived by her loving mother, Ruby Gordon; and her devoted husband, Miguel Estrada. She also leaves behind her three loving dogs, Zeus, Ruby and Jackson and her chestnut mare, Lily, all of whom she loved deeply. Laury worked for many years as an Attorney in various positions in the Department of Justice, including the Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering section, the Office of Legislative Affairs and the United States Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Virginia. She was also a Counsel for the Senate Judiciary Committee during the 105th Congress.

Poor guy -- a second bad break. I do hope the Senate Republicans find a way to get this fine jurist into the Federal judiciary.
Oh, this is just so sad. Prayers for Mr. Estrada and his family.
A young woman who is a customer service rep at a company I deal with died in her sleep at 27. The cause: a brain aneurysm rupture. She left behind a husband and baby.
Ping.
This is so sad; she was so young.
Whew, very sad, especially at this time of year. Prayers for the family.
Thank you. :(
Uhh, no offense, I'm sorry his wife died...
But we don't need another single supreme court justice worried about being unpopular with women (Kennedy). Keep him off the court.
Was that supposed to make any sense?
Very sad indeed. Thanks for the headsup.
Very sad. God rest her soul and comfort her family. We know not our time. My little sister died unexpectedly on her 34th birthday and left two babies. We've never been sure what killed her. Possibly Hodgekins Disease.
In the first sentence.
Miguel Estrada's in my thoughts. I'm sorry for his loss.
My wife may be one of the readers at the funeral on Friday. Pray that God will give her strength. More importantly, pray for Miguel. It's a tough time for everyone.
At the age of 46? Shocking.
Allegedly Kennedy changed his mind on overturning Roe due to the "threats" of Barbara Bush. She basically convinced him he would be dethroned as the most eligible bachelor.
Last thing we need is a justice worried about his sex life over consitutional issues.
I met Laury when she recently came to Alabama to be with her mother in the hospital. I was her mother's phsysician. We became friends and found that we had graduated from Alabama at the same time. She was one of the warmest, good-hearted, and interesting people I had ever met. She wanted to show her appreciation for what I had done for her Mom. She and Miguel took my wife and I out to dinner one night and we had a wonderful time as if we had known each other for a long time. I only hope that Miguel is able to continue along life's path without her both personally and profesionally. My concerns also lie with her mother who depended on Laury. It is likely that she may, by now be mentally infirm enough to not know Laury is gone. That would be a blessing. As a physician, I do have an interest in what may have happened to Laury to have ended her life so prematurely. My prays are for the whole family and may Laury's soul rest in eternal peace.
Did Rush just say what I think he said????
