I was good friends with Elena and went to school with her. We had so many good times. She could always make me laugh and it's hard to imagine that she's gone. She will always be missed by everyone who knew her. If you were ever sad or upset, she always knew how to cheer you up and make you laugh. I'll miss her so much..

Dear Parents, It's with deep sadness that I write this letter to you. I was Elena's Reading teacher at the Prep. (Ms. G) I moved to Florida after Graduation and it was just yesterday that I received this sad news. I want you to know that although I had Elena in my class for a short period of time, she will always be remembered. She was a very special girl, always with a smile, her love for crazy jewelry was always something we share. She was very polite, very mature for her age and a great writer. The day before graduation we had a very profound conversation about life and the way we should face the future,to always be happy and positive about all the new things that were coming for us. She gave me a lot of support on my move to Florida and I did the same on her move to High School. I can't imagine your pain. I only know that God in his plan for each one of us has something very special for your daughter. She will be a very bright little star, a little angel all dress in bright colors and with her wings full of beads bracelets. Looking over you, your family and all her many friends that I know will miss her deeply.I will always treasure the time I had your daughter in my class and that sincere conversation we had before saying goodby. God Bless You All
Sincerely
Evangeline (Ms.G)

Life is something that God gave us the priveledge of having. It is very sad to lose such a great gift. Elena Lasswell recieved this gift just as everyone has, and used it in many great ways. She used it to give frienships to many people, she used it to make happyness for her family and for others, and many more things. She used her gift of life to give to others which is very loving to do. Elena rest peacefully in heaven.

The celebration of life is the gift God has given us it-- is hard to see it that way at times like this. I wish the family to have peace and comfort. My son was a classmate at St. Gregory's and I know Elena must have been a beautiful person inside and out. I learned of Elena because Robert talked of her much. I know the kids at St. Gregorys are happy to have Elena's presence weaved into the fabric of their lives. May God's presence and the support from your friends and family help you through this transition of life. Our Blessings, Laura, Robert, and Markie

The worst thing in life is to lose a friend, a friend that means the world to you, a friend that you put all your trust and faith in, a friend that you believed in from the start, a friend that took the center of your heart, a friend that you'd die for, a friend that you wanted to cherish for a lifetime, a friend, a good friend, a best friend. Elena was a really great friend. I remember all the stupid things we did. I was friends with her since third grade. I'll miss her a lot. I want her to know that i loved her very much. Everyone did and still do. Rest in Peace Elena.
Love~Kimmie <3

My fondest memories with Elena were at St. Gregorys School. We enjoyed tea parties, birthday parties and having fun at Jungle Jims and the school playground. Although I left St. Gregorys School, my early child hood memories will always include Elena.
I will miss you Elena.

I am Reyann’s mother Rita. Elena was a part of our family. We share very fond memories together of Elena. Elena was a true friend to my daughter Reyann, in more ways than one. It saddens me deeply to see the pain and sadness in my daughter’s eyes, from the loss of her friend. I can’t imagine the pain of loosing a child. Elena always brought her humor to our home. My mother loved her. Elena would greet my mother by saying,”Hola Nana!” That memory will stay with my mother, Reyann’s grandmother, forever. My family and I want to express our deepest sympathy to you and your family. The memories we shared with Elena will forever be in our hearts. God bless you and your family.
Yours truly,
Rita, Reyann, Rochelle, & James

I asked God for a flower, and He gave me a garden. I asked Him for a tree, and He gave me a forest. I asked God for a river, and He gave me an ocean. I asked Him for a friend... and God gave me Elena! We will miss you and may God bless your family!
