<div>We are heartbroken by the tragic passing of our dear friend and co-worker, Lauren. She died on June 9th, suddenly, just moments after giving birth to her son, Jackson.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>This unimaginable loss is impossible to comprehend and the hole that Lauren has left in this world and in her own family, is an impossible one to ever fill. We are devastated for her beloved husband, Kevin, who must now unexpectedly take on the sole role of parenting their two children … Emma (3) and newborn Jackson, who is still in the NICU. That the day Lauren was so eagerly awaiting should end in tragedy is truly unfathomable.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>Anyone that knew Lauren was affected by her warm smile, kind heart and thoughtful, intuitive nature. She was the kind of person who could comfort you with a just a few words, because she always spoke from the heart. She was sincere, intentional and compassionate, but among her greatest qualities was the love she had for her family. It was no secret how close she was to her entire family or how excited she was when she got to start her own. From getting engaged to Kevin and then getting married to becoming a mother with Emma and next with Jackson, Lauren beamed whenever she talked about all that she had with her beautiful family.
</div>
<div> 
</div>
<div>The devastating loss of Lauren is far-reaching and we all feel helpless in the wake of the grief. But we can come together now to help take care of the thing Lauren cherish beyond all else: her family. Any dollar you can donate will be used to provide financial support as the grieving family adjusts to this new reality. Your contribution, no matter the size, will be greatly appreciated.

<div>Please donate whatever you are able to and share this post with others. There is nothing Lauren loved more than being a mother and your help in ensuring that her kids are taken care of would mean everything to her.
