Would you know my name
if I saw you in heaven ?

Tears In Heaven

Interludes

A Lullaby

I know that when we're strong enough,
Somewhere there's a place to hide for us...

Somewhere Beyond the Trees

Laurie Francine was born Laura Frances Waller-Puzio on January 18, 1947 and sadly passed away on March 6, 2023.

Her children, Jonathan and Melissa are keeping a promise they made to their Mom continuing her Legacy of her love and passion for music which inspired her to write many songs, and compose the music she played on a Blonde Ibanez 12 string guitar in which she was self taught. She never read a musical note throughout her career.

Laurie began playing on a 6 string guitar in 1974. After she realized she was Blessed with the gift of music, she began to write songs and compose music.

After being inspired by Gordon Lightfoot, Laurie acquired the Ibanez 12 string.

She was always so happy to be able to share her beautiful music and angelic voice with countless people throughout the years by performing at so many venues including the Old Dominion Folk Festival in Norfolk, Virginia.

Her favorite out of all was when she was invited to play at Covenant House in New York City known for rescuing children and teens from broken homes, trafficking and homelessness.

Laurie told her children these were really tough kids who have been through so much during their short life. But she was able to break through and those kids absolutely loved her, responded to her music and presented her with a single red rose which she kept and cherished forever.

Laurie loved everyone she met and showed her love through her music. She was the kindest, most gentle person one could ever meet.

Laurie would be so happy just knowing her beautiful music can still be heard by whoever will listen hence, her Legacy will live on forever.

Finally, you may notice Laurie's Profile and Station will be active as her children will like and share other artists' music they know their Mother would enjoy in addition to music her children enjoy as well.

Thank you so much for listening!

Eyes Closed

Eyes Closed (Acoustic Instrumental)

You're the friend
That I play stalkers with
Whenever things get tough
I'd joke but someday
These people we like
They're going to get a hunch
That I love running
The west with you

Cause I don't
Have a leg to stand on
But you, you've got
A thousand solutions a day
If maybe I had half your strength
Then I could be a better friend
But hey
Until then, I've got your back
Through every decision
Every panic attack
There's no messing, no disguise
To me, you're a partner in crime

You're the one
That always hears me out
You can't deny it's true
You put me back
When I've fell apart
And my heart is split in two
I will outrun the rest with you

Cause I don't
Have a leg to stand on
But you, you've got
A thousand solutions a day
If maybe I had half your strength
Then I could be a better friend
But hey
Until then, I've got your back
Through every decision
Every panic attack
There's no messing, no disguise
To me, you're a partner in crime
