God saw you were getting tired, and a cure was not to be,

 So He put his arms around you, and whispered....come to me !!!!!!!!!

With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. 

 Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. 

 A golden Heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest.  

God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes The Best.

Our Little Girl who always tried to keep a smile, who inspired so many from around the world.  She reminds us all that no matter how hard things get, that you can endure.  Lauren touched many lives during her brief time here with us.  She touched many hearts deeper than anyone knew they could be touched.  We'll all miss her dearly.

Little Lauren on her 10th birthday, thinking about what to wish for.   We never found out what she wished for, but my Guess is that it was something for someone else.  She was always such an unselfish person.  We treasure the moments we had with her. From her "Queen" for a Day" debut which led to her appearance on the Oprah Show.  Thank You all for Making this happen for Lauren.  May God Bless You for Your Kindness and Love.

Lauren holding her baby Sister "Lindsey"  She loved her so very much.  Lauren would sing kid songs to Lindsey.  All the while Lindsey would dance and play.  She was a true gift to our family.  We know "Lindsey" will miss her very much.

Little Lauren before she became ill.  A little "Angel" with puppy dog eyes.  She had such a sweet personality and wanted the best for everyone, even those that wronged her.

God Bless her and hold her close to you, she was our Special Angel and is now there with you.  Tell her that we Love her and will always miss her so.

Lauren just a little while after starting her Chemo-Therapy.  Through it all she did her best to keep a smile on her face and endure.

We just can't understand why she had to suffer so.  But I guess there are things that we're never meant to understand.

Lauren always had a smile, even during the toughest of times, it was just in her nature to be kind, honest and sincere.

Maybe that's why God seen fit to take her, because she was a very "Special Angel"

This is one of Lauren with her younger sisters Summer and Lindsey this last Halloween.  God Bless her, even fighting her battle with cancer she wanted to be involved and make the little kids smile that came by Trick or Treating.

Doesn't she look just like a Princess?  We think so.

Angel Princess who now has her very own Crown.

Lauren was an inspiration to us all.  Throughout her battle she was a tough little girl.  Always thinking about others and Loving life.

She's a true inspiration to many.  Touching so many hearts, proving that one person can change things for many.

Rest Peacefully our Little Angel, you've earned your Wings the hardest way anyone ever could.  We know now that you're watching over us all.

This was a snapshot taken of Lauren in the Limo on the way to the "Oprah Show"  She'll always be a shining Star to Us.
The Cast of "Everybody Loves Raymond" sent her a special message when She appeared on the Oprah Show.  We'd like to thank them all for their caring and love.  Yes, "Everybody Does Love Lauren" Little Lauren and her Mom at the entrance of the "Oprah Show in Chicago, November 14, 2002.

Never take a moment for granted cause it could be the last,

Live your life to it's fullest, don't spend it in the past.

Be thankful for the all the wonders, all the Special times you've had,

For one day without notice, in the blink of an eye,

Breaking our hearts, tearing at our Soul you'll be made very sad.

Our special ones become "Angels", why we may never understand,

That God takes them away with just a brush of His hand.

Then are tears of sorrow, it hurts so deep inside,

That the ones that we've Loved so much, so dear,  aren't there by our side.
