Lauren was a beautiful lady. She was extremely Kind, Patient and Loving. I met Lauren and Andris many years ago when I adopted two calico sisters to them. These kitties became the much loved and spoiled Hi and Lo Contrast. We stayed in touch and I was always happy to hear from her.
My condolences to Lauren's loved ones, her family, friends and co-workers. We were blessed to have known her.

I remember meeting Lauren at my niece Christa's wedding and sharing time getting to know her. I thought what a beautiful soul she had! My deepest condolences to her whole family and friends.

I'm so sorry to hear of Lauren's passing, and wanted to send my condolences. I worked with her on many MasterClass productions, and her set designs were absolutely stunning. She was such a joy to work with, and will be missed dearly.

I remember walking on our property in Costa Rica with Lauren and we passed by a huge spider She was so happy to see the spider and told me that she had come before to Costa Rica to only study this spider (The golden orb weaver) I was so impressed with her and the spider! After that day every time I see one golden orb weaver I see her with her beautiful red hair and her gentle style. She will be always in my memories from this walk. A beauty inside out.
