who was just blooming into a rose.
he that believest in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. John 11:25, 26
A psalm of David
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil,
for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
She left us all a message.
In the silence Mom you hear me,
In the silence I am here.
In the silence you can feel me,
In the silence it is clear........
That my spirit hasn't left you,
I am just a thought away,
You can see me in the shadows,
Anytime you look my way.
Look for me in the sunshine,
And in the stars at night.
In the wind, trees and flowers,
Everything that is in sight.
Talk to me, say my name,
Know that I'm still here,
In my death I have a new life,
And one day it will be clear.
So talk to me and look for me
In everything you do,
For I haven't gone so far away,
I'm really right next to you.

and what she can teach us.
Lauren was selfless. She was the only 18 year old senior in high school I know who would go to her grandmother’s house after school to take care of her. Not only did she take care of her but, she was excited to spend time there. And like everything else she did she made it fun. When my mom could not even convince my grandmother to leave the house, the day before the accident my sister dressed my grandmother up, did her hair and makeup and roller bladed her 2 miles over to my parent’s house
in her wheelchair. This is a prime example of how Lauren’s selflessness brought out the best in everyone.
Lauren was also a person who dreamed big. She often shared these dreams with me. She would often say, “Hey Lis, what do you think about being a PA?”. Lauren had her life mapped out to a “T”. She wanted to go to college and would always throw around career ideas for different positions in the medical field. Lauren would have achieved all of these things and more because my sister was so diligent and determined. Finally, the characteristic that defined Lauren was her spirit. If you looked into her eyes you could see that she had a secret knowing about life and what was really important. She had a child like appreciation for the simple, fun things in life. Lauren had the perspective in her short life that it has taken her death to teach other people, including myself.
Lauren lived a life that we all strive to live.
Even though Lauren only had 18 years, she made the most out of them. And I have to thank Chris Jones her boyfriend for being such a huge part of that. So, I think today my sister would want us to walk away from this celebration of her life doing the same and taking advantage of every moment.
That is what my sister would want.
Now our roles are reversed and Lauren is somewhere I have never been and can’t follow just yet. She is still with me in my thoughts, my dreams, in my memories and in my heart. Lauren, my heart aches for you and I will miss you, but I will see you soon. Thank you for being my sister.
You'll always be my child-I think of you each day,
Even though you must remain so very far away.
A love as strong as this, I've never felt before;
But you had to go away-up through heaven's door.
You'll never have to suffer, or feel pain or hate,
just peace and love and happiness-
God has given you this fate.
I hope that you can feel just how much I care;
And, When my days are over, in a flash-I will be there.
Pure unbounding joy! We'll never have to part.
You'll be right by my side-And not just in my heart.
But, until that day, when my dream is real-
I think I understand, just how I should feel...
"Mom, I am fine!" this must be what you would say-
"Please don't be so sad, we'll meet again one day:
I'm with God above - so don't cry for me,
Our parting is but a moment compared to eternity."

to her mom's eyes to hear this song playing on here.
from Florida and Lauren's Celebration of Life. I believe it was another gift from Lauren.
I can see by reading through your site, what a special, loving young lady you were, and loved by all.
But it was what your sister Lisa wrote about you, it was so beautiful.
TO A SPECIAL YOUNG LADY

HAPPINESS
Everyday we reminisce
Thinking about your tenderness
How we still wish you were here with us
OUR HAPPINESS
If the skies be grey or blue
How we long to be with you
Especially now we don't have you
OUR HAPPINESS
A thousand years it seems
Have gone by since we shared our dreams
We wish we could have you here again
Then there wouldn't have to be any memories then
MOM, DAD, LISA AND FAMILY
Everyday I am with you
In everything you say and do
Just open your hearts and don't be blue
YOUR HAPPINESS

This is a poem my ANGEL Lee wrote, it is very special to me,
I would love to share it with you as your ANGEL is very special.
Softness of the skin
Sweetness in the smell
Nectar of the fruit
Tender in the heart
Dancing in the eyes
Uplifting in the smile
Tickle of the touch
Joining in the love
Truth in the speech
Love in the laughter
Primal in the scream
Soft in the whisper
Quick in the mind
Fair in the sentence
Brave in the confrontation
Joining in the love
Graceful in the sleep
Careful in the search
Deep in the sorrow
Strength in the sickness
Giving of thy self
Rich in the health
Kind in the giving
Joining in the love
Written By Lee Henry Aguilera~~~Sue-Anne's ANGEL
MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL
