I miss you babygirl  / Katie Sparkes (Friend)

Baby girl,

Not a day goes by that I dont think of you. I have pictures of us at rosary hanging around my room. I'm coming to see you tomorrow. Stoping by your grave. I can't believe it's been four years.

We had plans Lauren :(
You were going to come to the OLMC dances and we were going to hang out. It's just not fair that that was taken away from us.

I hate that they did this to you. You were such an angel. You took up for me for the smallest things and always had my back. We had so many good times together. Why did they have to take you away from us.

The color pink is every where around me, it always reminds me of you. It's my favorite color now, I never liked it til I hung out with you.

But I know that you're in a better place right now. Everyone misses you. It's just not fair. I can't stop crying.

 

But I'll see you tomorrow babygirl.
I love you so much. <3

Miss you forever and always  / Alicia Mozina (Friend)

Lauren,

 I haven't been able to write you in awhile, but I still think about you everyday. What would you have been doing if you were still here? Would we still be friends? I miss you so much Lauren. It's unreal that it has been four whole years. When I talk about you it seems like we hung out yesterday. When I hear about Angels, I always think about you. I truley believe in my heart that you are a Angel now. No lie I just got goosebumps writing that. My Pop resently passed away, and while I was in that hospital with him  I prayed that you would give him love for me when he reached the heavenly gates. You touched my life in such a way I will always hold those few short years we had together close to my heart. You are remembered and cherished by so many people including myself. God knows how much we love you and miss you! I'll write you again soon. Miss you and love you always and forever.

Your friend,

Alicia

A poem my friend Karen sent to me.  / Mom
I Say Hello,
But Sadly I Say Good-bye
I say hello, but sadly good-bye,
as I hold you in my arms.
You, who I have known,
deep within my heart.
You are so real to me.
For moments, yet for all eternity.

Why?

Why
I ask,
must this be?

To endure in pain
is to ask for answers.
Why must this be?

Does God know why?
Will He enlighten me?
Will He strengthen my faith,
my beliefs so I can endure?
Will I ever know the answer?

Why?

We Remember Them  / Karen/Friend
In the rising of the sun and its going down,
We remember them

In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter,
We remember them

In the opening of the buds and in the rebrith of spring,
We remember them

In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer,
We remember them

In the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn,

We remember them

In the beginning of the year and when it ends,
We remember when

When we are weary and in need of strength,
We remember them

When we are lost and sick at heart,
We remember them

When we have joy we yearn to share,
We remember them

So long as we live, they too shall live,
For they are now a part of us,
As we remember them Close

Broken Chain  / Mom
The Broken Chain

We knew little that morning that God was going to call your name.

In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you the day God called you home.

You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one the chain will link again.

So Sorry for your tragic loss~Such a beautiful young woman~  / Cathy~Mom To David Giraud (Connected by Grief/visitor )
My heartfelt condolences on the tragic loss of your precious Lauren. It breaks my heart when I read about such tragidies, so senseless, I believe her killer will face another Judge one day, and he will get what he deserves. Know that your family, and all who love and miss sweet Lauren are in my thoughts and prayers. We are connected by grief, but we will celebrate together one day, when we are re-united with our loved ones. May God surround you with his loving arms, giving you strength, comfort, and peace. 

God Bless you and keep your wonderful hearts!

Always missing you  / Jessica
The moment that I knew you had died,
My heart split in two,
The one side filled with memories,
The other died with you.

I often lay awake at night,
When the world is fast asleep,
And take a walk down memory lane,
With tears upon my cheek.

Remembering you is easy,
I do it every day,
But missing you is a heartache,
That never goes away.

I hold you tightly within my heart,
And there you will remain,
Life has gone on without you,
But it never will be the same.

Dance with Me Mother  / Mom
Dance with Me, Mother

Dance with me, Mother
Through the oceans of time.
To a song we all know,
With arms intertwined.

Dance with me, my Mother
Your movements slow and precise,
Filled with so much love.
Swaying to the music of life.

Dance with me, dear Mother
We are twirling so fast.
Age and time have stolen your mind
There isn't any future,
you do not have a past.

I will dance with you , Daughter
Remembering laughter, tears
And strong memories of love
Nourished over many years.

I will dance with you, my Daughter
Regrets there are none.
I will be with you forever
Even when this dance is done.

I will dance with you, dear Daughter
Through the oceans of time.
To a song filled with love,
And arms intertwined.

In Memory of Lauren  / Mom
This poem is from the January 2008 edition of the Healing Hearts Newsletter.

She Only Took My Hand

Last night while I was trying to sleep
My daughter's voice I did hear
I opened my eyes and looked around
But she did not appear.

She said: Mom, you've got to listen
You've got to understand
God didn't take me from you, Mom
He only took my hand.
When I called out in pain that night
The instant that I died
He reached down and took my hand
And pulled me to His side.
From the misery and the pain,
My body was hurt so badly inside
I could never be the same.

My search is really over now
I've found happiness within.
All the answers to my dreams
And all that might have been.
I love you all and miss you so
And I'll always be nearby.
My body is gone forever
But my spirit will never die.

And so, you must all go on now,
Live one day at a time
Just understand...
God didn't take me from you
He only took my hand.

Dreams / Tina Roche (friend)
Lauren, 
       Over the past couple months I have been having numerous dreams about you. In each and everyone you come back and say that your not really gone your here watching over everyone. Buts its odd because in every dream your there in person and you havent aged a bit.. I remember my dream vividly we're all standing there at your house with everyone and everyone is so excited that your back and of course you stand there with a big smile on your face and brighten up the room. I dont know whether or not these dreams are a sign or not but I think they are, its you telling me and everyone else that its ok your fine and even though we dont see you you are there through it all and you were and always will be someone we can talk to and go to no matter where you are...  I love and miss you and Merry Christmas baby girl..

Mind boggling  / Jesska
You know what gets me, is how God takes all the good ones too early and leaves the losers behind. If he planned on taking the best person in our lives away, why not have the decency to give us a goodbye? And we're supposed to look up to that, right???? We're rasied as Christians to walk in the shoes of this man or else what.. I'll never see my cousin again.That's such a head game.I'm so sick of this b.s.

Thinking of you  / Sara Yost (Friend)
Everynight I dream of you. Even though we were friends for a short amount of time, I loved you more than you knew. You were my best friend and we had some wonderful times Lauren. I miss you so much, and I just wish that we had one more day togther so that I could tell you I was sorry for what happened on the corner, and that I wasn't mad at you for making me walk home in the rain. I loved you girl and I still do...You will always be my sexxi mama #1. 

This song reminds me of you...hope you like it, even though it's not rap haha :-D!! 


I'm just so tired
Won't you sing me to sleep
And fly through my dreams
So I can hitch a ride with you tonight
And get away from this place
Have a new name and face
I just ain't the same without you in my life

Late night drives, all alone in my car
I can't help but start
Singing lines from all our favorite songs
And melodies in the air
Singin' life just ain't fair
Sometimes I still just can't believe you're gone

And I'm sure the view from heaven
Beats the hell out of mine here
And if we all believe in heaven,
Maybe we'll make it through one more year
Down here

Feel your fire,
When its cold in my heart
And things sorta start
Remindin' me of my last night with you
I only need one more day
Just one more chance to say
I wish that I had gone up with you too

And I'm sure the view from heaven
Beats the hell out of mine here
And if we all believe in heaven
Maybe we'll make it through one more year
Down here
You won't be comin' back
And I didn't get to say goodbye (goodbye)
I really wish I got to say goodbye

And I'm sure the view from heaven
Beats the hell out of mine here
And if we all believe in heaven
Maybe we'll make it through one more year
I hope that all is well in heaven
Cuz it's all shot to hell down here
I hope that I find you in heaven
Cuz I'm so...
Lost without you down here

You won't be coming back
And I didn't get to say goodbye (goodbye)
I really wish I got to say gooooodbye
