Lauren Teat Obituary

Mr. and Mrs. Teat, and Ashley: I send my condolences to you all. May you all have God with you every step of the way as you grieve for Lauren's homegoing. I'm really sorry this had to happen to your family, God Bless...

Linda, Clayton, and Ashley,

My prayers are with you during this difficult time. May the happy memories of Lauren carry you through. She was a blessing to all who knew her.

Ashley and Family, I've known the twins since the kindergarten and had been going to school with them since then. I admire Mr. and Mrs. Teat for doing such an exceptional job raising the girls. Linda's hugs (that smell of warm vanilla) taught Lauren to be caring just like her mother, and Mr. Teat always being present at all her events gave her the confidence to pursue her dreams. I commend the both of you on that. You raised your children worthy of being angels and I am sure Lauren has become just that. May the Lord give you the strength to face each day and comfort you each time you miss her.My condolences.

May God's healing hand and the love of friends and family help carry you through this difficult time.



All my love to you and yours.

I knew Lauren since I was in 6th grade and she was one of the first upper classmen to talk to me. She was the best women I met. She took me under her wing and made me feel like someone when I was no one. She was one of the best trumpet players I knew and she protected me when I needed it. I love you lauren and I will always remember you and think of you for the rest of my life. To the teat family there are no words that I can say to make the pain go away or feel better. Just know that there are a lot of people here that will listen to you whenever you need to and may God be with you.

I know Lauren was a kind & good hearted person. Her death is a true tragedy. There are so many people feeling this loss. Which shows exactly how much she is loved. My prayers are with you all.

I had known Lauren since she was very young. She was a dear friend to my sister and although I never knew her well, she had a charismatic personality that always seemed to light up a room. She will be sorely missed. My deepest sympathies to your family.

Please know how sorry I am for your loss of Lauren. Your family will certainly be in my thoughts as you grapple with this. My deepest sympathies are with you.

Our hearts are breaking over hearing the news of Laurens death. She will be missed deeply by all of us here.



We will be praying for the family as you learn to face each new day, that God has given us.

I am sorry to hear about your loss. My deepest condolences go out to you all. I havent seen her for sometime, but will always remember the good ol' summer days at Royal Oaks.

My thougths and prayers are with you all.

"If tomorrow starts without me,

And I'm not there to see,

If the sun should rise and find your eyes

all filled with tears for me;



I wish so much you wouldn't cry

the way you did today,

While thinking of the many things,

We didn't get to say.



I know how much you love me,

As much as I love you,

And each time that you think of me,

I know you'll miss me too;



But when tomorrow starts without me,

Please try to understand,

that an angel came and called my name,

And took me by the hand,



And said my place was ready,

In heaven far above,

And that I'd have to leave behind

all those I dearly love.



But as I turned to walk away,

A tear fell from my eye,

For all my life, I'd always thought,

I didn't want to die.



I had so much to live for,

So much left yet to do,

it seemed almost impossible,

that I was leaving you.



I thought of all the yesterdays,

The good ones and the bad,

I thought of all that we shared,

And all the fun we had.



If I could relive yesterday,

Just even for a while,

I'd say good-bye and kiss you

and maybe see you smile.



But then I fully realized,

That this could never be,

For emptiness and memories,

would take the place of me.



And when I thought of worldly things,

I might miss come tomorrow,

I thought of you, and when I did,

My heart was filled with sorrow.



But when I walked through heaven's gates,

I felt so much at home.

When God looked down and smiled at me,

From His great golden throne,



He said, "This is eternity,

And all I've promised you."

Today your life on earth is past,

but here life starts anew.



I promise no tomorrow,

But today will always last,

and since each days the same way,

There's no longing for the past.



You have been so faithful,

So trusting and so true.

Though there were times you did some things,

You knew you shouldn't do.



But you have been forgiven,

and now at last you're free.

So won't you come and take my hand,

and share my life with me?



So when tomorrow starts without me,

don't think we're far apart,

For every time you think of me,

I'm right here, in your heart "

Clayton and family,

I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your daughter. No words can express my heartfelt sympathy. My prayers are with your family.

Clayton, Linda and Ashley, I just found out last night and my heart goes out to each of you. My prayers are with each of you as you cling to the knowledge that Jesus is still in control. My memories of your family are delightful and fun. May God hold you close.

Clayton, Linda, & Ashley,



There are no words...but know my heart is with you and you're in my thoughts & prayers.



Love,



Peggy Marr

Clayton, Linda and Ashley:



Jan (& Dave)have written their own entires at the other site, but I wanted to say something also. While you won't remember our brief meetings over the years, I wanted you to know that you all are in our thoughts & prayers and those of our church family at MDCC(DOC). One of my favorite poems and scriptures seem appropriate to share



ETERNITY

"To know a Rose is to know God.

To know a Faded Rose will bloom

again is to know Eternity".



"Let not your hearts be troubled. You believe in God, believe in me.

I go to prepare at place for you. If I go, I will come again to get you so that where I am, you will be also...." Jesus (St John 14:1-3)



Lord God:

We thank you for the life & legacy of Lauren. May you, O God and Father,who raised our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead, hold Clayton, Linda, Ashley and their family close. Grant them comfort. Remind them in the rough days ahead that this is but a brief good-bye. For when evening falls on our time of life, we will gather together at the reunion party in your house. There, with Laren and the rest of your family (and ours) we will worship and praise you for all that you have done. Remind us in the days ahead that there, in that place, we will never again have to say goodbye. Amen

Linda, Clayton and Ashley,



I am so sorry for the loss of your girl. We will all take heart in the knowledge that she has gone home. She is still with us, you, in every moment, in every whisper. We hold her light in our hearts, and your sorrow in our love.

To the family,

Lauren was an amazing young beautiful girl who touched so many people just by that amazing smile of hers. She always knew the right thing to say when you were either down or just needed someone there to talk to. I was there sitting next to Lauren the night that she passed away and she was smiling, laughing, and having fun with the friends that she cared about. Ashley your sister loved you more than anything in the whole world you meant everything to her. Every time Lauren and I were out together she would always talk about you it would always be good stuff. My prayers go the family and Ashley you know that if you ever need anything I am here for you no matter what time or what day.

Dear Friends, this is just more than any of us ever want to bear. Ashley, Clayton, Linda, you are in our thoughts and prayers. I remember when the girls were with us in Freer and Lauren (who loved animals so much) took one of the beautiful guail and was just stroking it. I know that now she is in God's arms and is one of his beautiful angels and it is all of us who need stroking.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Teat Family. We are so sorry to hear about your loss. Although we were not very close to Lauren, we knew of her and spoke occasionally. She was always such a sweet and enjoyable young lady. She was always smiling when I would see her at school, and she had such a bubbly personality. Lauren, you will always be missed!

Lauren was an excellent friend. I will always remember the good times. My deepest sympathies to Mr. and Mrs. Teat and Ashley. I will pray for you.

My sister was an amazing person. She was and still is my best friend in the world. I know she is in a better place and that brings my family and myself comfort. I want to thank everyone for their lovely tributes. We greatly appreciate it. I think of Lauren every minute of every day and will continue to for the rest of my life. She is my other half and will never be forgotten. The bond we were lucky enough to share will never be broken. I will miss her always and will cherish the time we spent together. I know that I am forever changed because of my sister. Not because of the accident but by how she influenced me in life. She was my hero. I love her dearly and forever. I am thankful that she is in a better place. That makes the grieving easier to bear. Again, thank you everyone for your support and tributes. You all will be in my heart and in my prayers. Don't mourn Lauren's death, celebrate how she lived. That is what she would have wanted. Lauren- I love you sis. You are a true angel now. Wait for me, because one day soon I will see you again. I love you.

-Your sissy

Dear Clayton, Linda, & Ashley,

My heart is breaking over your loss. When my mom told me of the news I was just shocked. I wish there weren't so many miles between us all. Please know that your family is in my prayers.

Melissa Burke Kang, Steven, Miranda and baby due 11/9/05

Words cannot express my pain in hearing of your loss. What a tragedy for you all to bear. Lauren is a beautiful girl. You will dwell with her again. I pray that God will hold you in His loving care and give you supernatural strength and courage in your time of grief. I have not seen Lauren and Ashley for many years but I know how very special you have all been to my sister, Carol. We stand beside in your time of need.

May God Bless each one of you. Although this a very sad time,we must not forget the life Lauren lived. Her bright and brillant outlook on life and her deep love for her family and friends. She is looking down and knows how much you all loved her and will wait for you at Heavens gate.

I am speechless. When I heard about what happen to Lauren, I was left shocked. Wishing it was not true, all I could think about was Ashley. How is she? I could imagine and feel how devastating it is. Ashley, Mr. & Mrs. Teat, I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers and my families are with you always. Ya'll are a great family and Lauren was a great person. She will be missed, but she will never be forgotten. Ash, if you need anything let me know (8327546218). Love, Mayra

Clayton, Linda, & Ashley,

No person or experience will ever replace the happy days and love Lauren gave you. We hope it will be of some comfort to know that you gave her all the love and care possible and that your friends share in your sorrow.

With sympathy,

I did not have the privelege of knowing Lauren personally but have seen her through her years at Spring Woods as she and my daughter graduated together. My heart aches for her family and I hope you know you are in our prayers.

Even though i didnt know lauren very well...i did know her, and from what i knew she had an awesome, electric personality that was known by everyone at springwoods... This is so difficult to imagine and my sympathy goes out to the family.

There are no words to heal the pain for the loss of such beautiful human being. Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. May God Bless you.

Linda, Clayton, Ashley

All of my thoughts and prayers

are with you.

Much love, Nancy Hinton

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

Clayton & Linda & Ashley, I find no words to match the heartache. My deepest sympathy goes to you as you try to cope with your loss.

My prayers go out to the Teat family. Know that your daughter/sister was loved by all of her friends, especially here at Spring Woods. She will be greatly missed. Im deeply sorry, from the bottom of my heart and if there is anything that I, or anyone for that matter, can do please do not hesitate to ask. She is being well taken care of by our Lord and Savior. Lauren, you will be greatly missed and never forgotten.

I went to high school with Lauren and only knew her and Ashley as acquaintances. From what little time we spent together, I always remembered her as a vibrant young woman. Please know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers.



With deepest sympathy,



Ana

May Lauren Walk among the angels and Jesus christ. She is now in a place better than we can ever Imagine. May godbless her soul and her family

Lauren and I were the best of friends for several years and we have many wonderful memories together. I have Lauren to thank for many things in my life, she helped me through some hard times, I only wish I could be there for her now. Lauren we will miss you, and thank you for giving me the honor of knowing you.

To the Teat family,

My fiance Nara and I didn't know Lauren or Ashley too well, matter of fact if you asked them they probably wouldn't remember us. (We were a couple years ahead of them) But none the less, this strikes so close to home and we send out our condolences and prayers to the Teats.

Lauren was a good friend to so many people including myself. She will always be remembered and missed.

Uncle Clayton, Aunt Linda and cousin Ashley:

I am so sorry to hear the news. Please know my thoughts are with you and family during this extremely difficult time.

Love Always, Cindy Siptak

Lauren has always been one of my best friends from the day that I met her back in Kindergarten. She was such an amazing person and friend. I miss her more than words can say. My deepest sympathies is with the entire family, especially Mr. and Mrs. Teat and my dear friend, Ashley.

We are so sorry for your loss. Our prayers are with you all.

Much love,

I am so very sorry for your loss. Our deepest sympathy to the entire family. You all will be in our thoughts and prayers during this very difficult time.

All our love from Laura Longwood-Omelanczuk and family, Marcos, Matthew and Natalia.

I can't tell you how heavy my heart is; I can see Lauren's smile all the way up here in Michigan (we moved back home this summer). Mr. Martin Blanco called me late last night to tell me the heart-wrenching news. I taught Lauren and Ashley Honors English waaaaay back when they were in 6th grade, but we've kept in touch all these years (I've been so very proud of their accomplishments). Ashley, my arms are around you over the miles. I can't imagine the pain that you and your parents are going through...I balled buckets after Mr. Blanco's call. Lauren, we all love you and miss you. We know you're wrapped in God's arms and flying on angels' wings.



Much love to all,



Mrs. Mulder (Please keep in touch via email)

Lauren was a great friend who got along with everybody. I will remember her for how she lived and will never forget the many times we spent together with other friends. To Ashely and Mr. and Mrs. Teat I will keep you in my prayers as you go through this difficult time. Stay strong and if their is anything I can do let me know. (c) 832-496-3739

I got to know Lauren our senior year of high school in our English class; we sat next to eachother and always had something to talk about. I am so saddened by her death, but will remember her as a young lady full of happiness and excitement about her life. I am sorry that it was ended so soon.

Patsy, I am so sorry for your family's loss. I know you can understand that I can relate to what you are going through but it doesn't make it any easier. She is in a better place now and will never suffer again. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers and please let me know if there is anything I can do for you or your brother.

I met Lauren when my best friend Megan lived next door to them. She was always the sweetest person even though we were younger than her. I will never forget her great personality and smile. She wil be missed dearly. My heart goes out to the family.

My thoughts, and prayers are with the Teat family.

I can't believe that all of this is happening. I stopped by where it happened and it just hurt me inside. What a horrible time for the family. I just wish I could have said something before she left. Atleast she is in a better place and is looking down on us from above. She will be missed oh so ever deeply. To the family, I wish you the best. Ashley, even though we haven't been together in awhile, I just want you to know that I am here if you need anything.

Lauren and I went to school together, she always knew how to put a smile on your face!! She will be missed! I love You! I am here for the Teat Family! You guys have always opened your hreats to everyone, i am here for all of you! love Amanda Knox

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to be of help.

I became friends with Lauren in elementary school, at Pine Shadows. I quickly grew close to their family, actually feeling like I was part of the family.Lauren was always a close friend of mine, she is going to be missed so much, but yet, she will always be here with us, looking down on us. Its just a shame she was so young. I dont know what anyone is going to do with out her. Momma and Pappa Teat, and Ashely...

I am so sorry for the loss of this young girl. My prayers are with you at this time of sorrow. And, for her twin sister, I know she feels even more "separation" than anyone.

Lauren and I have known each other since kindergarten and have been friends since. This is such a tragedy, ecspecially to such a young beautiful girl. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. My Deepest sympathies.

Such a beautiful young lady. I am glad I had the privilege of knowing her. You have my deepest sympathies.

I was so sorry to hear about your loss. I have many wonderful memories of the time when the girls were students at Fair Haven. I extend my thoughts and prayers to you.

I have many fond memories of Lauren as she grew up with my Daughter Amanda Knox. My God wrap his arms around you and your family during this difficult time and give you the strength that you need. Know that she is in his hands now.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. May God Bless you and help you through such a terrible time.

On behalf of the Albano Family, Nicholas class of 03, please accept our sincere sympathy on your tragic loss. You all will be remembered in our prayers.

Lauren was a very special person that I had the pleasure of meeting through my children, David and Trista. Her smile and laugher will be forever remembered. May you rest in peace. You now walk with the angles and Jesus. My prayers and thoughts are with her twin sister, Ashley, parents and the rest of family and friends.

TO give my thoughts and prayers to the Teat family, Ashley we are here for you.
