Laura was well-known at Nelson High School in Ontario for her love of music and drama.<\/p>\n

Her 12th grade yearbook was delivered to her before she died, but her classmates and family members wanted her burial ceremony to seem like a proper \u201cyearbook send-off.\u201d<\/p>\n

Laura\u2019s family, friends, neighbors, teachers, classmates, medical staff, and coworkers joined together to turn her casket into a gorgeous yearbook to memorialize her life, contagious enthusiasm, and remarkable talent.<\/p>\n

Heartfelt notes scribbled in various colors were scribbled all over the casket.<\/p>\n

Laura\u2019s stark white casket, which was adorned in colorful inscriptions, has gone viral. The inscriptions are heartfelt, intimate, and moving.<\/p>\n

You were musical. You were artistic. You were understanding. You were my bestest friend.<\/p>\n

Life is a song\u2026Sing \u2019til your heart\u2019s content<\/p>\n

Very brave and strong. You will always be a hero.<\/p>\n

Donations in Laura\u2019s name can be made to Coast to Coast, a national charity that works to put an end to childhood cancer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
