A special "Thank You" from our entire family, to everyone in Ohio, Chicago, Florida, Arizona, California, Washington and Oregon... We appreciate the love and tender care you provided to our family during this difficult time. We appreciate your prayers and support, as we could not have dealt with losing our precious Lauren. She was a bright light in our lives and we all miss her beautiful spirit. We have come to accept the fact that she is in a better place, and that we will see her again, someday. She is loved, she is missed and we will never, ever forget her.
Again,
Thank you for your kindness to our entire family.
Sincerely,
Christina (MOM)

I didn't know Lauren well. But I find myself thinking of her often. She had a get together at her house off of Cleveland Ave one night. That's how I met her. She didn't know me but welcomed me and even let me wear one of her bathing suits because I didn't have my own. She was so beautiful and one of the nicest people I've ever met.
It's a tragedy what happened to her. I just wanted to write and say to her family that even though I only met her a handful of times, she definitely made an impact on me. She made me realize not to judge a book by it's cover.
She was lovely.

There is not a day that goes by, where I don't remember Lauren in my thoughts. We have her picture in the office. It is still very sad to me. As a mother of 3 beautiful girls, I can't imagine the pain of the loss. May Jesus continue to comfort you and His grace sustain you.

Lauren was a bright and beautiful inspiration to her many friends and family. We will never forget the joy and memories she brought into our lives. She is an angel now, but we believe we will see her again... Will never forget you, our precious girl... Love always, Mom (Christina), and sisters Eva and Jessica

Indeed Lauren was a sweet little girl and turned into a lovely young woman.
How true what we see outside does not always reflects what's inside one's heart.
I believe Lauren is finally free and smiling down on us, saying I am at peace and I love you all!
You are and always will be missed more than words can say!
I love you, gram

Miss you Lauren. Wish life didn't have to be so painful. You're on my mind, even years later. You're a beautiful person and I may have only been an acquaintance of yours in college, but you made me laugh and not many people can do that. I only hope that people could realize what they see on the outside very rarely reflects what may be going on in the inside. If there is life after death I hope you feel light, free, and beautiful. You are deeply missed.

I remember my visits for the holidays watching Lauren grow into a young woman. Always surrounded by love just as I had watched her father grow into a man. There is a peace that is found in love, the peace that passes all understanding.
Do Not Weep For Me
Do Not Cry For Me
T's not death nor sleep have found me

I hold all of you in love and light knowing that grace and love will heal your hearts.

Dearest Cousins,
I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Lauren. What a beautiful girl she was! There are no words that can truly remove the anguish that you must be feeling. But please know that I am praying for all of you that God will comfort you in your hour of need and replace your pain and suffering with a peace that will surpass all understanding. I love you and God Bless.

Dear Jeff, Tina and all of your family,
Michele and I are so deeply sorry for your loss. At the funeral yesterday Dallas preached an amazing sermon about Lauren that was just so spot on that only God himself could have inspired him to say the words and scriptures that he quoted. Our hope and prayer is that all of you hold on to that message and hold on to Jesus Christ. Lauren is in Heaven singing songs of praise to Jesus and we will all see her again. In Christ Jesus there are no good-byes only see you latter. We will keep you in our prayers daily.
Sincerely,
Ken and Michele Boldt

To all those who are left tender and broken: May you find quiet peace and gentle comfort in the coming days. There is no earthly solace that can ease the sting of this imposed separation. Time will deliver its own gentle acceptance with each broken heart. Lauren was a gift of beauty and charm. The magic she sprinkled on all those who knew her will surely last a lifetime of lifetimes. Deepest sympathy in this great loss.

Dear Jeff,
I was just re-reading emails I had from you and Lauren regarding the Heritage newsletter article I published last year about her amazing fashion design. It was a delight to correspond with her!
I am praying for you as you walk through what must be grief beyond words. My heart breaks for your family.
I am praying that the Holy Spirit comforts you in gracious and supernatural ways, as only He can.
Mourning with you until THAT day when we are gathered together HOME!

Lauren was a girl that touched the lives of more people than I think she ever possibly knew. Everywhere she went and everyone she met, got brighter and more beautiful simply because she was around. She was one of the most creative, unique, and infectiously fun spirits this world has ever known. My love, thoughts, and prayers are with you during this time. Please take care.

It was such a blessing to know Lauren and I'm so thankful our paths crossed. She was a energetic, loving, hard working, beautiful young lady and it breaks my heart to know she is longer here with us. She is in a far better place in the arms of her Saviour and I know she is at peace now. Thank you so much for allowing me to be her cheerleading coach and get a glimpse of what a beautiful person she was. Our family is praying for you all. Lean on the Lord and He will give you strength on the hard days, laughter and fond memories on the good ones. With Much Love in Christ.

Lean on God when it hurts and it doesn't make sense. Those that are saved by Jesus don't experience death but are face to face with GOD. Hold on to each other and remember that God saves all your tears and comforts the mourning. Ecclesiates 3

My beautiful cousin.. I will never forget all of our amazing memories growing up.. Our trip to France, our special olympics that we all put on for Grandma and Grandpa. You would always eat a tomato for me bc I hated the taste of them .. Catching crabs on the beach in Cape Cod, and many more memories that will live in my heart for the rest of my life.. Why did you have to leave us beautiful lo lo.. It breaks my heart every waking minute that you are gone.. I love you so much girl, and I cant wait to see your beautiful smiling face again someday..

I sat next to Lauren in Art History,and lived in the same dorm; we used to joke and laugh. We worked together on a shoot and had plans for others. I regret not getting to spend more time with her.
