A young vibrant woman taken so early is so hard to comprehend. Although we did not know Lauren personally, knowing her family and reading the other tributes to her lets us know what a wonderful person she was. She is in the Lord's hands now and is smiling down on her husband, son, parents and siblings. Hopefully, you will be able to find some consolation in knowing she is still with you.

Sending love from the Crisps to the Platts. I will remember Lauren as the beautiful, bubbly, outgoing spirit I knew from years ago. That girl had a personality on her. :-) May her light live on in her son, Blake. Until we all meet again...

My sweet baby sister Bubby. I have no words to express the pain I'm feeling. I'm so thankful for the honor of being your big sis. You have brought such joy to us and I promise as long as I'm living I will do anything I can for Bug. I will always tell him how wonderful you are and how much you love him. I will tell him how being a Mother was the best thing that ever happened to you. I will tell him the story of when you first held him. I promise to tell him how Jesus loves him, and not to worry because he is with him. I wish I would of told you more how proud of you I was. How I thought you were such a wonderful mother. I have so many memories to cherish from sleeping in the same bed our entire childhood to planning your wedding. I know you are in a better place I just wish it was not so soon. I love you Lauren and I will honor who you were for the rest of my life. Rest in peace little sis. You are so loved!!!!!!!
