Dear Giddins family,
I didn't know Lauren but I have children and can't imagine the heartache and pain you all are suffering. We must all learn from this tragedy and remember what a wonderful young lady she was and the many people whose lives she touched in the short time she lived. I pray for your family and hope that the many cherished memories you have of Lauren will help as you heal. May justice be done.

Lauren in heaven: I bet you are debating with Chief Justice Rehnquist right now, checking out JFK Jr. (!), and marveling at Princess Diana. Jennifer Supsic is there too and so is your grandfather to keep you safe. Peace to your soul.

My heart breaks at the thought of your loss as a mother and grandmother myself.
The Payne/Giddings et al, are the most remarkable families I have ever had the honor of meeting and spending time with - thanks to Kathy's friendship.
Lauren was a remarkable young woman. The world is a better place for having had her in it.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
