My baby girl first born. I miss you so much and I will never be able to find the right words to express the deep void in my life. I started to go thru our infamous photoboxes for a project for one of your teachers. I knew already emotionally I wasn't ready but I have to get it done before the end of the school year but every picture told a story and I remember each one of them. I wish so desperately you never even got sick. I remember telling u I wish it we're me in bed sick and your response was 'its ok mommie' that showed me how brave u really are. There is literally not a devon that I don't think about you. I love and miss you so much and I would do anything to bring you back healthy. I love and miss you so much. Love always mommie

I know I already wrote in this, but I found this picture of you, Savana and myself. I think of you every day, Lauren and it has already been a month, I can hardly believe it. I know, though, that things can only get better for everyone, and I know that you are in a place almost as beautiful as you :) Rest in paradise girl :)

Lauren, wow it's hard to believe today you have been gone a whole month. It seems like forever. I miss you so much. I miss talking to you all the time, hanging out with you every weekend, texting all the time, movie nights, blockbuster happy meals, and so many other things! We have been best friends since pre-k and you were like my sister. You knew everything about me and I'm pretty sure I knew everything about you. I will never forget any of the great times we had and I will definitely cherish them forever. You meant the world to me and you still do and I will always consider you my best friend even if you are in heaven now because I know your looking down on us everyday and you always told me you would haunt me so your probably doing that too but at least I know your with me:) Lauren noelle Schenck I have no idea what you were going through but I know you were in pain and now your pain free and having a wondeful time in heaven. I miss you more and more each day. I love you so much and I hope your watching over all of us and seeing what a great impact you made on everyones livesLove always and forever,
Alexis<3

Lauren, I can still remember the day we met like it was yesterday. It was the summer before 2nd grade and I was new to the street. Mar Mar took us all to mcdonalds one day, and we spent the whole day running around on the playground and eating ice cream. It sounds simple, but that was the day we became best friends. From then on we were inseparable, and some of my best childhood memories are with you. I know we had a fallout over the past couple of years, but i still consider you one of my best friends and always will. I wish we had more time to fix our friendship, but I know that someday we'll meet again and everything will be okay. I know that you are in good hands right know because you are with your grandma and Loie. Without you, I would never be the person I am today. I miss you so much and will love you forever:)

Dear Lauren,
I just want to say I love you, I always will. I miss you so much and I think about you everyday . I still wear my pink laces in your memory. My life will never be the same without you. Your we're my sister, my Lolo. I miss all of the little things we did like going to get teas or just relaxing at your house. I know your always gonna be there, watching over me, and I will always look up ad know you're there for me. I know I haven't said goodbye, just see you later. I know you thought it was weird how I said I loved you every time we said good bye, but I'm glad I did. It was the last thing I said to you and I wouldn't have it any other way. I wonder every day why your gone but I know God is glad to have an angel back in Heaven. I miss you Lolo and I will never forget my sister.
Love,
Xan <3

Lauren,
There are so many things I am going to miss about you! We always had fun in Sedona and at our houses. You were my adopted cousin I couldnt imagine any of the many family gatherings without you. You were really part of my family. I loved doing all the crazy things that would have freaked our parents out if they would have known. There wasnt a time that we were fighing or got annoyed with each other! I loved every minute we had together. I will always remember the first time we met! It was so weird riding in the car not talking the whole way to the theatre I'm pretty sure that was the only time we didnt talk in our cousinship:)! I loved going to your house and staying up all night watching Sex and the City or any other tv series we were obssesed with at the time! All the memories of things we did together will be with me forever! I love you so much and will miss you so much! We will always be connected through our necklaces! Frends are really family members we choose! You were always part of my family and still will be! I love you girly!
xoxo :*

Lauren,

I can't even tell you in words how much I miss you a long with so many others. You've touched many hearts it's phenomenal. I remember first meeting you, the funniest, kindest, and prettiest person I've met when moving here. You were so courageous and strong, didn't care what you did as long as you had fun. That's one of the things I like most about you. Elementary school, to High School, it sure was a pleasure being with someone like you. You made the true meaning of a responsible daughter, a caring sister, fun best friend, and overall amazing person. Even though you won't be here with me,you'll always be here watching over us. Love and miss you Lauren, Rest in Peace<3

Lauren,
You were such a sweetheart. I miss you. We didn't hang out much outside of school, but whenever we did we would just laugh and have a good time. You are loved very much by so many, and touched the hearts of so many people it's truly amazing. It's hard sometimes, but we have to look at the bright side-you're no longer in any pain and you're a beautiful angel now. Rest in paradise, I love you. <3

Lauren, I hope you can hear me talking to you when i do. I try to stay strong and you are helping me out so much. I thank you for all the memories and the times you made me laugh and smile and made me happy. you did so much for so many and although you arent here anymore you still keep peoples heads up high and remind us that life is fragile and how much we need to cherish what we are given. I wrote a song or two about you and i hope you hear me singing them. You have always been an angel. I wish I had more time with you, everyone does, but the times we had were amazing. I have your card from your funeral with your picture on it and seeing your picture on my wall reminds me you are still here with me. You are not gone, just not here. I love you and miss you more than words can describe. Ive never really lost someone I loved and held so closely, you are my first lose. Its so unfortunate that i had to lose you first but i think of it as a learning experience. You are teaching me everyday how to stay strong even when I feel weak. You are teaching me how to move on slowly but never forget, and I thank you for helping me grow and giving me memories that will last forever. If you ever want to talk or something me please do, im always listening. i love you so much and you will be missed but never forgotten. Lauren, our gaurdian angel, watch over us while we remember all the good you did for all of us. I could write so much more but I think you understand what Im saying. I will see you in another life <3 Sleep soundly till we reunite. I love you so much, my friend, my angel in the sky, Lauren :) -Jaclyn Starky

Lauren, I remeber when we first met in fifth grade and then the first day of sixth grade I asked if I could hangout with you and grace and from then on we were bestfriends. We shared so many laughs and great memories and I will never forget any of them. I remember just this past december on your birthday the night before I spent the night and then the next day you were getting ready for a family lunch and you jumped up because you almost forgot to play fifteen by taylor swift:) days go by where I wanna believe none of this happened and I just feel like calling or texting you about what happened at school but then it always hits me. Lauren you are such an inspiration to all and I love you with all my heart!<3

My dearest Lauren:

you have no idea of how much you have changed my life for the better. I remember everything from the time i was pregnant with you till today. you have taught me so much about being s better person but more importantly about being a better mom. I have enjoyed watching you from being just a second old to becoming the beautiful young lady you are today. I was so happy to see you going to your first homecoming dance as a freshman and how much fun it was to go shopping for your special dress and looking forward to all of your high school days, prom , graduation. you had such wonderful plans for the future. I had no idea of how many lives you touched until I got out to meet your friends and teachers, and other friends and other friends.
You were brave for that last 6 weeks and I admire you for that.
"Too young to die"
You will always and forever be in my life and my heart and spirit. There is not a second that goes by that I don't ever think about you and miss you a bunch.
For now, your room is staying the way you left it.
Thank you for everything,
"Lovebug"
All my love always, mommie always in my heart, my life and spirit.
Tami Schenck, mommie
P.S. I always really enjoyed having all your friends over and enjoyed driving you and your friends whenever and wherever.

Our dearest Lauren,

I can not believe that you are not with us anymore. There was so much more that you had to experience. You definately left us way too soon! Bryan and I think back to Alexis' first day of Kindergarten and how excited Alexis was about her new friend Lauren. Over the years, Bryan and I had the pleasure of watching you grow from a child into a beautiful young woman! The friendship that you and Alexis shared survived many of lifes ups and down and in the end it only made your friendship that much stronger. Alexis and I will miss our shopping marathons, the late night fast food runs and the many hours at the nail salon that we had no clue what the techs were saying to us! Bryan and I thought of you as a daughter and you definately will be deeply missed. You will forever have a special place in all our of hearts.
We LOVE You Lauren! XOXOXOXO

I will always remember you and always thank God so much for letting me get the oppurtunity to meet an absolutely amazing person. I Love You Lauren.

Its very difficult for me, to knwo lauren isnt with us anymore. Myself hanging out with lauren was such enjoyment. I loved hanging out with her everyday near her house. Coming into my front yard to talk and hang out with the neiborhood guys. I wish i could have said goodbye and gone to the funeral but i had no idea. I just found out today that she had passed by a friend, and im so angry at myself for not knowing. Lauren i know we werent the closest of friends but i still encountered you as a great friend. You will be in my heart. God bless.

Lauren - My dear sweet niece. I am really struggling with you not here right now. All I can think about right now is the times we won't get to spend together and wishing we would have spent even more time together in the past. I loved you so much and so enjoyed our shopping days and times we got to go to the football games together, but there just weren't enough of them. You were an amazing girl and I have learned over these last few weeks what an impact you have had on all those that knew you, wow what your friends have said about you is amazing, we can all aspire to have that impact. I saw how brave you were over the last month, not sure I could have been that brave. You are my hero and I guess I will just have to accept that as I move through life we might not be walking together at the mall or hanging out at ASU football games physically next to each other, I am hoping you will be close by and we can be whispering to each other. I will miss you so much and right now the pain is too great to wonder how I will get through this but know I will forever love you dearly and can't wait to see you again soon. Lots of love always - Aunt DeDe (Wendi)
