MISS PRETTY GIRL  / Charlotte Karl (Aunt)
Lauren it seems just like yesterday we were at Uncle Mark and Aunt Michelle's wedding and you looked so happy.  I remember you asking me if I was going back to Aunt Michelle's house.  I told you yes and hugged you tight and told you I love you then you said it back.  That gives me great comfort knowing those were some of the last words we spoke to one another.  I loved to tease you a lot but I only did that to make you laugh because you had such a beautiful smile.  I know you never believed me when I told you so.  I miss you and wish you were here with us today.  I know Emily still thinks of you often.  She stops at the grave yard just to say hi.  I hope you know you will always be in our hearts no matter how much time goes by.  PS save me a good seat up there like one near a good looking man angel   Love always Aunt Charlotte Close

May I Be Excused?  / Mom

May I Be Excused?

"Please God, I have my hand up.
May I be excused for awhile
from this huge classroom where we live
and learn the lessons of life?


I am finding the lessons of this world too hard to learn.
Can I stop off for a while in a quiet place?


As you know I have lost my child
and I am very tired of this day that I'm in.
The role is too hard, the words are false.


My face is a mask and my smile is unreal.
The only truth I see is love, so please God,
may I be excused from traveling
on this road for awhile?


I've had my hand up for a long time."

Memory / Mom
In Memory of You

I find an old photograph
and see your smile.
As I feel your presence anew,
I am filled with warmth
and my heart remembers love.

I read an old card
sent many years ago
during a time of turmoil and
confusion.
The soothing words written then
still caress my spirit
and bring me peace.

I remember who you used to be
the laughter we shared
and wonder what you have
become.
Where are you now,
Where did you go,
When the body is left behind
and the spirit is released to fly?

Perhaps you are the morning bird
singing joyfully at sunrise,
or the butterfly that dances
so carelessly on the breeze
or the rainbow of colors
that brightens a stormy sky
or the fingers of afternoon mist
delicately reaching over the
mountains
or the final few rays
of the setting sun
lighting up the skies
edging the clouds with a magical
glow.

I miss your being
but I feel your presence,
In whatever form you choose to
take,
however you now choose to be.

Your spirit has become for me
a guardian angel on high
guiding,
advising,
and watching
over me.

I remember you.
You are with me
and I am not afraid.

I read this poem and you were the 1st person i thought of  / Alicia (friend)

 The wings I see 
are tinged with gold
time is endless
Or so I'm told
Feathery white
I know you're there
In my heart
I know you care
Over your shoulder
here we are
Staying close
Never far
Wrap me up
Envelope me
I need you Angel
Can't you see?
Sheild me now
Within your wing 
Songs of joy
We'll always sing
Hold me tight 
And take me high
You belong to me
In my sky
Protect
And love
And nurture me
I need you Angel 
Can't you see?
By John Cameron

Friends / Alicia (friend)
"Best of friends", was what your wrote on your moms car window in the morning before school. I don't remember meeting you, but i remember hanging out with you more and more. Skate land was our spot! Friday nights skating all night long. Looking back on it brings a smile on my face everytime. I can't keep asking why because I know I will never get an anwser until I see you. I don't have hate in my heart I have sadness and an empty space. Going into middle school I remeber my step-mom telling me that before you graduate high school you will most likely lose a friend from drinking and driving. I lost a close friend before i graduated, but it wasn't because of her careless acts it was because a criminal was out on parol and had no heart. Lauren, hearing the news that you had passed came and shook my world. I didn't know what to say I was stunned. All that was running through my mind was that I should have called you more, I shouldn't have lost touch with you going into high school. The last conversation we had was how someone wanted to fight me and that you were going to "take care of them". Lauren you had my back than, and I will forever have your back now, you already know that. I'm always thinking if I can go back in time I would go to August 18th 2004 and say that I love you and how much your friendship really meant to me. I think about things all the time. Your death has made me not take life for granted and be the best friend that I can be. You died too young and the man will pay for that. I thank God that I was blessed to have met you, and was able to become your friend. I miss you Lauren, and it's always going to be that way. I can feel you around when I go to your house. I know you are watching over your mom, brother, and Heaven. I know you can see how good Will has turned out. Your mom is still strong, and I know it is because you are giving her strenght. I was holding Heaven the other night and she pointed to your picture. I know you met her, because she is just like you (stubborn).lol. Time does heal wounds, but not mentally. When we were at your grave for your three year ann., letting go of the ballon really touched me, as I was looking up the ballons looked like diamonds in the sky, and I know that was you! Your memory will NEVER die. I hope that you are the first person I see when I get to the heavenly gates<33 I love you Lauren, and always will! Alicia Close

I miss u  / Lisa Dabrowski (Friend)

For You Lauren<3  / Jessica Zinsavage

I miss you all the time.
It seems the years keep passing by.
Come summertime I miss you most cause that's when we departed. 
It's not you fault, the one to blame is him cause he's cold-hearted.

I never thought I'd be right here where I am today.
Never thought I could recover went you went away.
Thank you for the many memories that I'll keep forever.
Cause that is all I have for right now until whenever.

I know you're my pink guardian angel from way up above.
Just though I'd tell you how much you're missed and send you all my love.

I'll always love you Lauren, I could never forget you.
Your Sister Beyond Death <3 jessica

for what its' worth  / Kelly
Hi,

My name is Kelly and I lived up the street from Lauren in Highlandtown (Pratt Street) when I was a child.  I remember playing with her and some of the other local kids when we were young.  I just wanted to pay my condolences and say that even though we were really only acquaintances, I have some nice memories of Lauren. She was a very sweet girl and is in my thoughts.

Poem for you - 3rd Anniversary of your death!  / Mom
In loving memory of my daughter,
Lauren Zinsavage
9-5-88 through 8-18-04 




Lauren its been three years since you have been gone
A piece of my heart is definitely torn.
Time has gone by so fast,
but our memories together will forever last.
You were so beautiful and full of life,
A precious angel who would have made someone
a wonderful wife!
I think of you becoming a mother one day,
while you and your baby would sit and play..
My hopes and dreams have shattered
But I know what truly mattered
Lauren you were loved so much and
I know you loved me more than life....

Always, until we meet again in Heaven
Love, Mom
(Beverly Brooks)

Senior Week  / Alicia Mozina (friend)

So Brittany and I just got back from senior week. On the way there we were listening to some music and only the good die young came on.. My heart sank into my stomach you were supposed to be driving I would be in the back and Brittany in the front, but that wasn't the way we had to go. I wish you were with us so bad to expierience everything. It wasn't the same without out. We were driving down to get something to eat and i pulled out my phone not even thinking and texted i miss you to your old number. It's been three years Lauren and nothing is ever going to be the way it was. Everynight I go to bed and pray that I will see you again someday. We all miss you and love you. Love you!
