Lauri J. Bortolotti

I miss you. It been getting tougher as I get older. In school i've been learning on how to help patients cope with loss and I don't know if thats what has been getting to me these past couple of weeks or its the fact that I am finally grieving you. I always wonder how it would be if you were here. Kevin and Erin are two of the most amazing people I know in this world and im so lucky I get to have them forever by my side. Dads really great too, he is the best dad we could have asked for so...

I had the distinct pleasure to know Lauri our senior year at Westfield State College. Anytime I ran across Lauri on campus she would give a big hello and flash that wonderful smile. God bless you Lauri.

Erin, Kevin, Michaela... I hope you guys are doing alright. We miss you around here and love you so much

Ms. B,

I have been debating whether or not to write this for many months now. I hope that, somehow, you can see what I am about to say..

You are one of the most amazing people I will EVER know. As a former student of yours, I am lucky enough to have many memories of our time together.

One memory that still stands out loud in clear in my mind is right before the MCAS test. This was the first time we had ever took it, and we were scared out of our wits. You,...

Hi Barbara and the rest of the Bortolotti family.
I want to let you all know that I presented a scholarship to an eighth grade graduate from St Agatha's this past Friday night.
It was an honor to do so.
On behalf of all of our 1978 St Agatha's classmates, we gave a one time scholarship for $1300.00 to a wonderful girl and presented it in Lauri's name!
God Bless.
Love,
David Clifford
P.S. If possible please send me an email and I can forward you the photo.
