Rest in peace Lauren.
Cancer may have cut your time on earth short, but it never took your spirit, and it never beat you. The things you faced with a smile and grace inspire so many. Whenever you got tough news, you would say, “I’ll fight.” Standing by your side and watching you defy the odds was a pleasure. The grace, determination, and love you showed daily are incredible.
I have no idea how you did it, and I have no idea how we will do it without you. Your love fills us up, and you have shown us the way.
