Lauren and I attended St. John's together in 7th and 8th grades. She never let junior high drama stop her from being a truly nice girl. When I look back on those years, I wish that there had been more people like her. I'm sad that the world is now without such a good person, but I am grateful for the memories I have of her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.

Jordan, Kaelyn, Linda, Steve, and all the rest of the family, your loss is simply incomprehensible to us. We so enjoyed Lauren's friendship, sense of joy and humour, and her amazing courage in the face of her difficulties. She was a breathtakingly gorgeous woman and stunningly spirited and strong. We will keep all of you in our hearts as you face this loss.
Our deepest condolences,
