Jimmy-

I'm very sorry for the loss of your daughter Lauren. It will take some time to heal and recover from the loss. Please take all the time that you need, you will need it.

Patty has been keeping me informed and I'll keep in touch though various channels. If you ever need to talk, my number is in the book and my time is your's.

Keep looking toward the future, but never forget the past. There is, and will be, beauty in both.

My family knew lauren, but not as much as we wished we'd had.

She seemed like such a happy and sweet young lady. Its just going to be such a lose for the world to not have her joy around.

I hope everyone that really knew Lauren will realize they can carry her same "spirit for life" with them.

Feb. 14th will forever be in my familys hearts thinking about this special and unique young lady.

We are deeply saddened by the loss of Lauren. She was a very special person. She always made us laugh, with her smile and friendly attitude.

Please accept our condolences. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, in your time of sorrow.

Love,

To All Lauren's Family and Friends,

I had the pleasure of meeting Lauren and some of her family on a few occasions. Although I did not know her well and personally, I knew a lot about her because my best friend, Tracy Rousseau, was one of her teachers. Tracy loved her dearly. The one time I remember the most about Lauren, was her and Brenna's eigth grade graduation. We went out for a bite to eat after the graduation. Lauren had so much life, excitement, passion, and just overall love of life in her. It was fun watching her from the other end of the table. She made us all laugh and smile. Although she had challenges in her life, she handled them with such grace, innocence and excitement. My wish for everyone that was touched by Lauren, is that they remember that she gave her life her all. She made the best of the life God gave her and she walked the path he made for her with elegance, enthusiasm and joy. She embraced her life, family and friends with her entire being, the best way she knew how to. She gave of herself, as much love, happiness and encouragement as she had within her mind, body and soul, to feel fulfilled and to make others around her feel as loved as she felt. If we could all have that special ability to not waste our life, our days and time and live life to the fullest and the best of our ability, as Lauren did, all of our lives might be happier while we are here in this lifetime. God Bless You All. When you are saddend by Lauren's passing hold on to those happy times and know that she would want you to remember her wonderful ability to give life all the gusto she had and for you to do the same. My thoughts and prayers are with you all to help you through this saddened time. I hope you can celebrate Lauren's life as she would want you to and realize how blessed we all are that she touched our lives. I send you my most sincere, heartfelt sympathy and condolences for the loss of such a wonderful spirit and child of God. Peace and Love to you all.

I just learned of Lauren passing on today and I wish it was earlier so I could have paid my respects at the funeral. My sister has WS and I cannot imagine your pain. I know you've heard it all, but she is happy now doing whatever it is she loved to do every day - no pain, no illness - and you will all be together again someday forever. I am so so sorry.

Lauren,

You have been an amazing person to me for the three very short years I have known you. Although I did not know you that well, you seemed to have always been there when I needed a smile, or needed to smile myself. I have never known anyone else who seemed to have loved life as much as you; and that always made my day. Your bright, friendly smiles and kind, loving, radiant personality will always be remembered by me and all of us back at GHS.

"God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more, neither shall their be anquish nor greif nor pain any more; For the Lamb Who is in the midst of the throne will be their shepard, and He will guide them to the springs of the waters of life; and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes"

WE LOVE YOU, LAUREN.

Just about every morning I walked into school, there was Lauren sitting outside the office

on the bench, every morning she always said "Hi Brandon!" We'd talk for about a minute or so. I always enjoyed talking to Lauren because no matter what she always had a smile on her face. Even when she was in the Nurses office, and was not feeling well, she still had a smile on her face. I will never forget the smile and the courage Lauren had everyday to help make other peoples day improve. Lauren will be missed very much by the whole Goffstown School Community. My thoughts and Prayers go out to Laurens Family.

Dear Gail, Jim and family,

I feel so grateful to have been part of Lauren's day to day life, during her time at MVMS. Her sense of humor and ability to make me laugh and smile is something I remember fondly and think of often. Gail and Jim, thank you for allowing us to be such "partners" in working with Lauren during her five years with us, and for all of your hard work and dedication as parents. Lauren is truly one of those people who certainly taught me many positive life lessons, through her positive attitude and ability to give. I will miss her greatly, and know that certainly, it was such a gift to have had her in my life as an educator. I think she was as much a teacher as I could have been to her...

I have known Lauren since she first came to GHS. I watched her change and grow over these last two years. As I looked around this week, it was obvious that Lauren has touched the lives of many here at GHS. I will miss her and I will always remember her.

Lauren Bartlett loved anything to do with the weather.

Lauren Bartlett was a lot like the weather.

The wind blows, sometimes gently, sometimes strongly.

No matter how it blows, that which it touches is always affected in some way.

Sometimes, Lauren gently reached out, sometimes her touch was stronger with her friends.

No matter how she touched people, they were all affected in some way.

The sun shines, drying up the tears of the world, warming and changing it.

Some people value the sun more than others, but all value its special qualities.

Even when storms came in her life, the brightness that was Lauren would always shine through.

Lauren’s personality shone on us all and her special qualities warmed us.

The rain washes the world clean, presenting a new perspective and renewing life.

Sometimes, rain leaves sparkling diamonds, sometimes it creates changes, leading to renewal and growth.

Lauren allowed herself the "rain" of human emotion, sharing those she enabled those around her to grow, flourish and bloom

Lauren left many sparkling diamonds as she passed through our lives.

Clouds come in many varieties.

Some clouds are inherently beautiful, others times, the beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Lauren was inherently a beautiful person, a beautifully edged cloud.

She also was a person who found the good in the clouds that passed through her life.

There are few "for sures" or "always" in our lives.

Certain weather conditions will come and go, but

There will always be weather for sure and it will "always" be a part of our lives.

Like the weather, Lauren's presence has come and gone

It is for sure though that Lauren touched many of our lives.

She will always be a part of our lives, and we will forever be changed by her.

It has been an honor being not just your Para (teacher) but eventually your confidant and friend during your 7th and 8th grade years. You were and inspiration and uplifting soul to us all.

To the Family of Lauren

My deepest sympathy to your family in this most difficult time. Please find comfort in knowing that Lauren touched the lives of so many with her warm personality and smile. I have the most fond memories of her and she will take a very special place in my heart. I will always remember her for the frequent visits to the nurses office here at GHS esp in her first year when she was having a difficult time with the transition. She would say to me "I really don't feel well Mrs Kennedy - I am not faking it, you do believe me don't you" - I know Gail will find the meaning in this. The last 2 years with Lauren here at the high school are memorable for me and I am very honored to have been are part of her life here. I am deeply saddened and touched by the loss of Lauren from our lives here at GHS. Please know that our entire school community grieves with and for you. May your faith give you strength and comfort in the days, weeks and years to come.
