Maureen, Marty, and John; I'm so sorry for your terrible loss. In my opinion, I think this world would be a better place if people had the heart of gold like the one found in Lauren. My thoughts and prayers are with you all, and I will never forget how amazing I felt from seeing her smile, and because of the incredible ways she treated me. She was a remarkable young woman! God bless, RIP Lauren :( I will miss you sweetheart

Dear Marty and Maureen,
Please accept my deepest sympathies for the passing of your daughter. I will forever remember her as the first friend I made when I started working in the cosmetics department at Macy's. I will never forget the joy and excitement in Lauren's voice each time she greeted me. She embraced and encouraged every bit of my creativity, and passion for life, held me up in times of heartache, and never shyed away from supporting me through difficult or painful situations. Our lives led us in different directions, but I was happy to re-connect with her earlier this year, as she loved coming to hear me sing at church. I will greatly miss my friend. God bless you and your family.
