Words alone cannot mend your broken hearts. I will always have fond memories of Laurette. Fly high my friend, you have many angels waiting for you.
George Sand wrote, “There is only one happiness in this life, to love and be loved.” Laurette abounded in happiness. Truly, to know her was to love her and to be known by her was to be loved.
May your light live on through memories. God Bless.
My thoughts and prayers go out to your family during this extremely difficult time. You and your brother are together. God bless your family.
I will miss Laurette, a truly lovely person. Rest in Peace, we all lost you much too soon.
It was my great privilege and an honor to work side by side with Laurette for almost 20 years. She was a true gem with a heart of gold. Her dedication, patience, and compassion made her a highly respected member of Ridge School, a favorite among students, a forever friend, and an absolute pleasure to work with. Her easy-going nature and warm smile resonated with everyone.
Laurette was a devoted sister, daughter, aunt, and an unforgettable friend who has surely left her mark on us all. She took pride in any role she played and always put forth 110%. Laurette always found ways to lift our spirits, show gentleness and empathy with students, and encouraged us to all be our best.
I will miss you, sweet friend. Thank you for gracing our lives with love, for teaching by example how to be kind to one another, and to take things one day at a time.
May your light continue to shine bright upon us, and may you rest in peace, together with your loved ones. You will not be forgotten. xoxo
My heart aches for your loss. Your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Doug and I send our love to the LaPrarie-King family. Our hearts are broken for all who loved her! Surely, she is an angel!
I was blessed to work with this beautiful woman, she was an amazing kind woman. Bob and I would like to send our prayers and condolences to the families
I was fortunate to work with Laurette for many years. She was always first to help and always with such kindness and patience. My sincerest condolences to her family. It is a huge loss to Ridge Elementary and to all who knew and loved her. May she rest in peace.
Sending sympathy and prayers to the LaPrarie family. Rest in peace Laurette. Your work here on Earth is done. You have done a fine job. 🙏 ❤️
So very sorry to hear about this tragic loss. She was an amazing Teacher and a wonderful Person.
May she rest in peace.
Growing up in the early 1980s, I considered the LaPrarie family an extension of my own. I was there almost everyday (as Rosemary was my babysitter). Laurette was my older sister when I was there. I have such great memories or her, she was so fun and included me as much as possible. I am comforted that she is in the arms of the Lord in heaven with her father and brother, but it hurts knowing she is not here with us. The family has all my thoughts and prayers always. I love you all.
