“7months since we all found out!! seems like yesturday!! missing you alot buddy!! ur still the brightest star in the sky and forever there u will remain!!

“I didn't know loz myself but my sixth form friends did so i got to see him once or twice but never knew him that well. im sure all his family were devastated and should of been given so much privacy and im sorry they didnt. Im so sorry about his death but all that is left now is photos, memories, and the good times u had with him. xxx”

“I Didnt Really Know Him But He Sounds Cool :) I Heard The Fatal News When My Tutor Read It Out In Tutor Pierod Its Sooo Sad That A Student Has Died R.I.P Laurence”

“I knew Loz 6 or 7 years ago, it must've been. He was in my year at primary school. He was great to know, and although I didn't know him as a proper friend, he was great to have in my classes. I was very shocked to hear the news and my respects go to the family and other friends that knew him better. I'm sure we'll always be thinking of him, and I hope he rests in peace. <3”

“I was a friend of Loz and I miss him dearly. We didn't speak much but even when we did he always brightened up my day. Gonna miss him lots, but I'll always think of him when I look at the stars.”

“Loz was a lovely boy surrounded by a very loving family my thoughts really are with them”

“As a member of Loz' tutor group at school, I am devastated by the loss of a good friend, classmate and person. He was well loved by us all. Even those not as close to him as others new of him and his character. In short he was a fantastic lad and never shy or timid. Everyone who has ever met or even heard of loz is devastated by the news, however it is important to know that he wouldn't want us to mourn, but to celebrate what good times we had with him and to remember that although a tragic incident occured, he wouldn't want us to give in. Also, I feel that cleeve school and the echo deserve respect for respecting the views of his family. He was well loved and will be missed by all.”

“My nan used to babysit Laurence and his brother when we were all younger, so I knew him pretty well. I think everyone who knew him liked him, he was just so nice and it's horrible to hear about death, but it is a whole lot worse when it is someone who you know. We all miss you terribly Laurence, R.I.P xxx”

“I was a friend of Loz's. It sickens me to think that whilst everyone who knew him is mourning his death and grieving, all someone can think of is how it all happened. It has devastated hundreds of people in the community, all I can say to the people who want to know all the gorey details is imagine if the police told you that your son has died. You would want you and your family's privacy respected, so please do that in this case! It is such hard news to take, details aren't important. What is important is that Laurence (or Loz to many) was an amazing, well-respected and very much loved person, and that his life is celebrated, not criticised. My thoughts are with his family at this very difficult time”

“I am also a student in the same year as Laurence at Cleeve School. He was such a great person who meant alot to us all. We are all thinking of his family right now but we'll never forget the Laurence we all knew so well. RIP Loz we miss u xxxxxxxx”
