Dear Family of Mrs. Lawrence,
It has been 3 years since I have graduated St. Mary's, and upon hearing about her death, I recalled all of the good memories I had there. This is a terrible loss for all the teachers and students who had been in St. Mary's. I regret not visiting the school more often when it was still open. I will always remember her as an amazing principal, and she will be in my prayers. God Bless.

Dear Mrs. Lawrence,
It is with great sorrow that we sign this guest book. We know that your dedication, passion for education and the love of your family helped keep you going these
past few years. We are so thankful for the education our children received at St. Mary's and are so heart broken that you and the school are now gone. We have made some wonderful friends that I hope will last a life time.
Your smile, laugh and the support that you gave us will always remain in our hearts.
Sincerely,
Holly & Tom Schlichting

Mrs. Lawrence and Family,
Mrs. Lawrence was the best principal you could ever ask for. You could walk right in to her office and she was so happy to see you and talk for the longest time with her. she was my beloved principal for 8 years, and 9 years for my brother. We will miss her so dearly. It is going to be hard saying goodbye for the last time. We just have to think she will be in a better place now.

Dear Mrs. Lawrence:
My son and I are so saddened to hear about your passing. You were a wonderful principal. Although my son only had two years at St. Mary's before its closing he had the most wonderful experience. Thanks to you and his wonderful teachers he grew as a person, learned so much and came out of his shyness. We will truly miss you and all that you had given to your students at St. Mary's. May you rest in peace and fly with the angels in peace.
Love,
Phyllis and Domenic DelVecchio
