It will be a year tomorrow that you left us--a sad anniversary. You and your beautiful spirit will always be with us. So sorry that you are not here to experience the continuation of our stories.
Love always.

Laura,

We miss you so much, and always will. As your birthday just passed and the holidays coming up I know it will just be harder. Happy memories of you helps to ease it a little, but you are deeply missed and deeply loved.

Laura,

Remembering you on your birthday (and always). I miss you. Love.

Laura:

I think about you every day. You are missed.

Remembering you. Can't believe it has been a month.

Tom, Charlie and Sarah,
I am so sorry to hear about Laura.  I am just finding this out today.  I am literally in shock.  Laura was such a sweet fantastic woman.  I know how much she loved you all and I know it is a difficult time for you.  My prayers are with all of you and I will always remember our time at Maplewood Community Center.  I have many fond memories as I know you do.. Love to the your family and Laura's family.

Sorry for your loss, she will be greatly missed!

Sincerly,

I am so sorry for your loss.  I remember Laura from the Maplewood Library.  She was just a sweet person.  Our deepest sympathy for your loss.

Dear Tom, Sarah, & Charlie,

Know that Laura is always with you in 

your hearts.

Our deepest sympathy for your loss.

Love and Prayers,

Our granddaughter, Jordan, was fortunate to be in Mrs. Grellner's pre-school class a few years ago. Mrs. Grellner lit up the room with her sparkling eyes, unforgetable smile and remarkable personality. She touched the lives of "her kids" in a way noone else could. Our sincere sympathy goes out to her family.  She will be missed.

You have my deepest sympathy. Laura was a long time friend and old neighbor. She will be missed by everyone who knew her.

I am so sorry for your loss.  I taught with Sue at Bishop DuBourg High School, so I heard many stories about Laura and the Kummer family. My thoughts and prayers are with the Grellner family and with the extended Kummer families.

It was an absolute blessing to have Mrs. Grellner in our lives and the lives of both our sons.  Asa and Aden both had Mrs. Grellner as a pre-school teacher at Valley Park and we could not be more thankful to have been touched by her light-hearted, caring and compassionate personality.  She will be dearly missed by us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and her entire Valley Park family also.  The Auer Family

We will miss Laura so very much. She was a wonderful, loving, caring teacher and lady.  I am so sad Matthew will not be able to learn from her.  We love you, Ms Grellner! Love The Stewart, Peggy, Steve, Maggie and Matthew

It was a real blessing to have known Mrs. Grellner.  Our son, Will, was a student in her class this year.  Mrs. Grellner touched our lives and the lives of numerous others.  May God bless her and all of her family.

Kaye, Our most sincere sympathy goes out to you and your family during this time of loss.  We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.  The Smith family

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Laura's family -  especially her husband, children, and twin sister whom she talked of often. We are so blessed to have had such a wonderful caregiver and teacher for our children. We will remember her for her kindness, patience (especially for our 2 older daughters), and enthusiasm in the classroom. Her light may have dimmed, but she will always glow in the hearts of those she touched. Thank you Laura. We will never forget you.

Sending our deepest sympathies to Laura's family and to my cousins on their loss. I will remember our childhood times together. Even my high school years were more comfortable with my cousins' in my class. All of you will be in my thoughts and prayers.  Love,  Marty(Lampe)Colley and
Elizabeth and Nick

My dearest sympathy goes out to all of Laura's family.  I pray God gives you the strength and peace in your time of loss.  What a beautiful caregiver Laura was to all of the children at Valley Park.  She was a wonderful teacher and person.  She has left her mark on the Valley Park community.  She will be sorely missed.  I am blessed to have been able to work and know Laura.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to all her family and friends. We will miss her dearly.

Laura, Thank you for being the sweet, kind friend you were to me, and everyone! I was a new teacher in 1979 when we met. You taught me so much. I have wonderful memories of our South St. Louis years. My prayers are for your family, and the many friends and students who miss you.

My deepest sympathy to Tom and family. I taught with Laura and remember her kindness and devotion. Blessing to all. Judy Schaljo

My sympathy goes out to Laura's family and friends.  Her love and caring to all the children at Valley Park Early Child Care Center will forever impact thier lives!  I will miss her smiling face.

Laura, you will be loved and missed. I'm sad Griff will miss out on the opportunity of learning from you. We love you! Heather, Andy, Baker, Katie and Griff Brimhall

Dear Grellner Family,
I am mourning with you from far away and unfortunately cannot get home to honor Laura's wonderful gift to all of us who had the privilege of working with her at Valley Park Elementary School.  I will remember Laura as a person filled with love, compassion, and understanding.  She was the "first formal teacher" of so many children in the community and gave them such a wonderful and compassionate beginning in their formal education.  Laura's recent battle with breast cancer taught me how to remain positive and provide a light to others despite great personal changes.  Her passing leaves me wondering how such a wonderful person could be called home to God so early in her life of giving to others?  Please know I have offered many prayers for Laura and your family the last few days.

To Tom, Charlie, Sarah, Linda and all who loved and were loved by Laura,

Laura and I worked together for a time at the Maplewood Library. I feel lucky to have had the chance to know Laura as a friend. I will miss her so very much.

My thoughts and prayers are with each of you at this difficult time.

My deepest sympathy to Laura 's family and especially to my
cousins in the loss of their dear sister.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Love,
Mary Beth Lampe

My deepest sympathy for your loss.  I feel so blessed to have known Laura.  I had the honor of working with her at Valley Park for many years.  She loved her family and would speak with pride on each and every one.  She was a woman of integrity, inteligence, beauty and humor.  She will be deeply missed.

Dear Tom, Charlie and Sarah,
We know what a difficult time this is for you and you are left with a large hole in your heart.  Trust in God to fill  your heart with the wonderful memories of Laura's love for all of you.

Our deepest sympathy for your loss.
All our love & prayers are with you and your family at this very difficult time.

My deepest sympathy for your loss. May God strengthen you during your time of sorrow.
              Pamla  Moeller
