“Lauren was a kind-hearted person who was always smiling and ready to help. So many people have told me their memories of Lauren, and everyone describes her smiling and helping others. As a 1st year she was someone I looked up to because she had so many talents.” Laura McCrea, Rainey Endowed School.
“Lauren was always the girl with the right words. I felt very honoured that Lauren felt she could share her own personal writing with me. She was very generous and would do anything for you.” Miss Llewellyn, Rainey Endowed School.
“I feel privileged that you allowed our family to be a small part of Lauren’s life.” Mrs. Ruth Wilson, and Beth.
“I will never forget how lovely she was to me – she was full of laughter and I can’t imagine her without a smile.” Carmen Horner, Rainey Endowed School.
“I will always miss and remember Lauren especially her smile and the laughs Gabriella and I had with her to and from school in the bus.” Leanne Rainey, Sperrin Integrated College.
“She seemed to have something different about her – a sweetness and delicacy – just like a budding rose, yet a strength and personality that made her stand out. This world needs people like Lauren in it. Once in a lifetime we are touched by an angel.” Mrs. Julie McCaughan, and Rory.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are.
Speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
Extract from a poem by Henry Scott Holland
