I am so sorry for your loss. Death at any age is hard to deal with. But when one was busy with life it can be hard to grasp how they are no longer around. Even when life is fading away and we want them to be at peace with no more suffering the idea that , they are no longer with us is uncomfortable. I hope that God's promises that just like we can write memorials to keep a person's memory alive, He has them in His memory and will wake them up so they can once again enjoy our company and life on earth. Only with out sickness and death because those things will be no more Revelations 21:3,4

Thank you. Your devotion to your sister Linda, my mom, in her time of need was something I will never forget. You dressed as a clown for my son when he returned from the hospital, seems you would do anything to bring a laugh for those who needed it the most. Just a few memories. I wished I could have thanked you one more time, another reminder to me as I grow older, those you love and are grateful for ....may not be there tomorrow. Thanks again, for being our mom for awhile after we lost ours!

Lisa and family, what a cavernous loss it is to lose someone so full of passion! Lauren loved deeply and it was so obvious when you spent even just a little bit of time with her. I have precious memories of having tea with her and being welcomed into her home like another daughter and messaging back and forth excitedly about the birth of her new great granddaughter!!
I cannot believe she is gone. I am so sorry for the pain and loss you all feel but pray that your memories and love of each other sustain you as you move forward as she would want you to do.
Love to you all. xxoo

Surrounded by the Angeles.

Her Life

Angels

January 19, 2019

Lauren carried around 4 angels in her purse representing her father, (Richard, “Dick”), her mother, (Virginia, “Ginny”), her younger sister, Debbie, and her older sister, Linda.

The last 2 days of her life, (January 15 & January 16, 2019), she literally clung to her angels- she grasped them in her right hand.

We believed those who went before her were guiding her “home.”

Goodbye Prayer

January 23, 2019

At 11:30 a.m. last Wednesday, January 16, 2019, my dad, (Joe), David, Rob and I circled around my mom in Hospice and said The Lord’s Prayer- immediately after mom mouthed “Amen,” then went to be with her Heavenly Father! Hard to believe it’s been a week already! She is our angel!! Love you mom, Lisa xo
