My daughter, Lauren, passed away at the young age of 26. Lauren was vibrant, soulful, kind and full of life. This mission of the foundation bearing Lauren's name will be rooted in the belief in the Circle of Life. Lauren wanted to be planted with a tree so that she could grow and bloom and bring beauty to this earth forever. The foundation's primary purpose will be to provide native trees to be planted in memory of a loved one. The legal documents are being drawn up now. All donations will be transferred to the foundation once established. "To the world you may be one person, But to one person you may be the world"
