"Unfortunately, I only today received the news about Lauren's death. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jose, Linda and Nathan. Lauren was an incredible young woman. She was always very thankful, polite and considerate. I will miss her. I am heart broken for her family as this news has not yet completely sunk in for me. May God's grace comfort and strengthen you through this most difficult of times."

"I am so very sorry for your loss. I have been a client of Lauren's since H. C. Honestly, I was one those difficult clients... but she never blinked. She was always kind and warm and compassionate and so friendly and sweet, she genuinely made me want to be a better person. She took on my daughter and followed us both through good times and bad. She remembered to ask about everything and everyone in my family. She genuinely cared. It's so hard to understand her passing. I'm heartbroken for myself and more so for her family. She spoke so lovingly about all of her family. What an amazing young woman! Sweet Lauren, you will be missed tremendously!"
