No words can express my deep sorrow in finding out about your untimely death. Although I know we shared some of the same struggles I find some comfort in knowing that you are now sharing paradise with uncle Pauk, my dad. I will forever remember the good times at our house and the pool parties to the nest building and spongebob marathons at your house! RIP Lauren you will be dearly missed! Say hi to dad!

Lisa, Jim, Jill, and family. Lauren Jean is on my mind and I wish I was present with you now. Rocking the cradle gently – she is and always will be in your hearts. Wayne Clingman called me and we both cried and it helps to cry sometimes. Spodicks are real bohemians and visionaries and gentle. I love you today forever.
