Laura, my first memory of working with you at The Climate Group was thinking 'Who is this woman we've hired!?!'. You were loud, excited and full of energy - I always knew when you were in the office after that! Your eagerness to learn and willingness to help made you a colleague that people knew they could rely on. And your kindness, warmth and bubbly nature meant that you were also a friend to so many people at The Climate Group. I'll always remember going to some random local restaurant near Cancun with you and Nicola after the COP in 2010. None of us spoke Spanish and the menu didn't have any English translation. I think we ended up ordering a year's worth of cheese and probably weighed a stone heavier by the end of the evening. It made me laugh when I found out later about your plans to work in South America and learn Spanish! Laura, you were always one of those old colleagues whose name popped into my head from time to time and made me smile. I always assumed our paths would cross again and we'd catch up for a drink at some point. I'm so terribly sorry and sad that I won't get that chance. Rest in peace, Laura. Your old colleague, Damian.
