Read MoreDear 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.

Your smile, laugh and the support that you gave us will always remain in our...

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.
