To the Family of Mrs. Laffey, Mrs. Laffey was my 8th grade English teacher during the 2000-2001 school year at St. Leo's. Throughout highschool, and even during my first year at college, I have been constantly reminded of all the things Mrs. Laffey taught us, and I am so thankful to have had such a wonderful teacher. I still think of her whenever I see a copy of "To Kill a Mockingbird" or sit down to write a term paper - thankful for having had a teacher that had the patience to teach us the correct way to write. Whenever I am having a bad day, I can still hear her singing, "Ya gotta accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative..." It still brings a smile to my face, as all my memories of Mrs. Laffey always will. My deepest condolences, Jessica Gartner St. Leo the Great Class of '01
