In loving memory of Laura Elizabeth Ratcliffe who sadly passed away on 22nd January 2018

Laura truly was the light of so many lives. Everyone she touched she made brighter. Forever the heart and soul of the party, she was always singing and dancing and stealing the limelight.

Laura had the best sense of humour and instantly became friends with everyone she met. Throughout her life everywhere she went she picked up life long friends from School to Dancing College, working on cruise ships, or in bars, owning her own dance school, going to University and going on to become a primary school teacher.

She was such a bubbly person and the most dramatic in the best way possible. She loved anything Disney or pink and sparkly and never needed an excuse to jump up on karaoke and put everyone in the room to shame.

She was very close with her family and they were more like friends to her and her friends were more like her family.

Laura truly was the best of us.

There is so much I can go on and say about Laura, but you all already know it. So please call each other up and share your favourite memories about her to each other and put a smile on each other's faces at this sad time.

I would like to thank Laura's Mother Margie and Father Robert for raising such a beautiful person and giving her to us.

Lastly,
Although our life was only just starting together I truly got a lifetimes worth of love and happiness with you in our time together and I will love you until my last breath.

You will always be my Disney Princess xxx

Laura, you were taken too soon and too suddenly. You are always in our hearts. You are always beside us. We love you and we miss you. We miss you smiling and laughing. We miss you dancing and singing. We miss your stories and wicked sense of humour. We are so proud of you and so proud that you touched so many hearts and left a little part of yourself in each one. You'll will never be forgotten. Your heartbroken Mum and Dad, Margie and Robert.

What a beautiful service today for a beautiful girl. Your family did you proud today Laura, your dad was so brave
and spoke such lovely words about you. That must have been so hard for him, nobody wants to say goodbye to their child. Sleep peacefully Laura, you'll be
missed beyond words.xxx

It's not the length of life, but the depth, that matters. I will always remember your beaming smile and how ecstatic you were to receive your Paul Hollywood calendar for Secret Santa at Christmas! Every time I saw you in work we laughed about something. Rest in peace Laura, I will always remember you. XXX
