Nancy and Jack,

We are so sorry for your loss. Lauren was a wonderful young lady that will be missed by all. I remember funny things from the swim team, and the neighborhood parties with the kids. She enjoyed life and those around her! She was a great worker and took pride in her "design work" on the cakes. I remember the last one she did and how proud she was of it. You two are wonderful parents who have to now experience something that doesn't seem fair. Trust God and let him hold you, hear your prayers and heal your pain. Please know we are all here for you and will be praying for you.

Dear Cooper Family,



I am Julie Hensler Coen. Nancy, I went to high school with you! I can't tell you how sorry I am for your loss. When I heard about Lauren, I was so startled as our daughter graduated from Etowah in 2005 and I felt it was hitting close to home. Then when I found out she was your daughter, I was really jolted. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you through this horrible time.



Sincerely,



Julie

I was so saddened to hear the news of Lauren's passing. I had the pleasure of getting to know Lauren during the summers during the mid 1990's as being one of the coaches of her local summer swim team in Woodstock. She was one of my favorite kids to work with. She assisted in working with the younger kids on the team and was always a joy to be around. She had a smile that was infectious and could always make you smile too. As she grew up and I had some life changes we lost track of one another but our paths crossed again in 2000 and I was glad to see she was doing so well. Please accept our condolences during this time of grief. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
