Love you, Mom. You walk beside me everyday and give me strength. You are my angel. You are my smile. God blessed me with you.

My book TIPS FROM A TALENT AGENT: PRACTICAL ADVICE FOR ACTORS is dedicated to Lauren. She was a pleasure to know and to represent as her talent agent. I miss you, Lauren!

Never stop talking to you, Mom. I still feel your love and love you emencely. You are on my heart.

Love you, Mom. Thank you for being with me everyday in spirit. Looks like we started a tradition of cake day on February 25th. It's cake day today--something extra special like you. We still say, Nana can play that role," I'm thinking about how you entertained the hospital staff the night before you left us. The doctor said they had your IMBD page on the TV and you had everyone in stiches (tee hee). Although I wasn't there (due to the COVID restriction) it is a precious memory.

Love you forever. The boys will have cake today in you honor.

Love you. I still hear your voice as I go through each day. I love your observations and the smile you bring to my heart. You are forever beautiful.

Happy Birthday Lauren! Last year it was on Mardi Gras Day... what a party it was!!

I was first introduced to Lauren while visiting Judy Bolton in New Orleans a few years ago.
While it was a one time in person visit, I’ll never forget Lauren’s welcoming way of engaging me in lively conversation.
Over the next few years we often spoke on the telephone where we shared Joyful holiday and Birthday greetings.
I will miss her cheerful voice and optimistic view on life.
Peace, Love and Hope

It was my absolute privilege to know Lauren and to represent her as her talent agent. What a lovely lady who was very inspiring! She will be greatly missed.
Rest in peace, dear, sweet Lauren!
All my love,
Becky Hale, friend and talent agent

Actress, food critic, grammarian, and keeper of secrets!.. . I could bring anything to you and your would turn it into something worth keeping (or eating!). And no matter how I felt coming in I would leave with a laugh and a knock knock joke. You Always saw the best in everyone... I’m trying to be more like that. I miss you so much..

Lauren was the best book club I've ever joined! And now every time I read a new book I will tell her all about it, just as I always did.

Miss you to pieces.

Love always,

Ms. Lauren was a Natural Born Lover of people and their stories, books, foods, acting, parties, fun and adventures! I was blessed to be her friend and neighbor!

Lauren Swinney became my neighbor soon after my husband and I moved to New Orleans. I told her of a home for sale , near our home and luckily for us -she bought it!!! Lauren was a wonderful neighbor and friend. She was our schill at art events...She could charm anyone with her wit and lovelyness! We found it inspiring that she took up acting in her 70s...Never too late to pursue your dreams!

Lauren had a way of making you feel upbeat...and hopefully we did the same for her.

She was special and we will miss her very much.

I was truly blessed to have you in my life. Thank you for introducing me to so many wonderful things. Rest In Peace Nana.

You are forever in my heart, Mom.
