I haven’t really known life without Lauren. She’s been by my side for every celebration big or small, and also every bump in the road. I feel so lucky to have been her sister, and that we’ve had so many amazing memories together. But I know even for many of you who haven’t known her nearly as long as I have, she still made a huge impact on your lives. She truly was a beautiful force of life.

I love her more than life itself. And I want to quickly touch on a few things I (and I know many of you) love so much about Lauren:

I love Lauren for living life to its fullest. She wasn’t saving for tomorrow but living for today. She was up for any adventure and always pulled people in to enjoy it with her. She just wanted to have fun, experience the world, and meet new people. And she never held back. Every good meal was “the best meal ever”, every trip was “the best trip ever” – she was so excited to be living and experiencing life’s joys with others.

I love Lauren for her big heart. She was so incredibly thoughtful and giving - always there when I needed her. I just think about everything she did for Jersey and then everything for me – whether big like helping out watching my newborn when I was hospitalized, all the way to spending hours making me the most beautiful scrap book for my wedding. It’s ironic that she passed from a heart condition and we’re here on Valentine’s Day – because she had the biggest heart of anyone I know.

I love Lauren for her positive energy and because she was so much fun. She was always the life of the party – she lit up every room with her positive energy. And she had the most amazing, infectious heartfelt smile and laugh that I hope to God I never forget because it brings me so much happiness. We all have so many fun memories of Lauren – she really made life more fun.

I love Lauren for her ability to truly connect with people (and our 4-legged friends). She embraced others, whether new friends or old, and made people feel so special. She asked a ton of questions and really listened to you. She was always so happy and excited for others' accomplishments. She was my cheerleader, my #1 fan – and I know she was a cheerleader for many of you.

And I love Lauren for her blunt yet comforting honesty. She told you what you needed to hear but that no one else would tell you. The best kind of friend.

Lauren was the absolute best sister, friend and aunt to my two children. I am so lucky to have had her in my life and she taught me so much. I hope we can all remember how she danced like no one was watching, she laughed until she cried, and she held on tight and loved without regret. Although I’m going to miss her every day for the rest of my life, I hope that her brightness shines for all of time.

The @talesalab team sends love to Brixy and Lauren's family. Lauren shared your PNW trip on our Instagram page. Her joy for life and love for Brixy was inspirational. Her sign off said "it's been a weird & scary year, but don't forget we create our own destiny & some of the most beautiful places on Earth are right in our backyard." We're sure many dogs had adventures that were motivated by Brixy's PNW trip. We are so sorry for your loss.

I am so very sad to hear of Lauren’s passing, sending so much love to her husband, family and friends. I loved following along and chatting with Lauren about all the amazing places she travelled to and adventures she was always on. I admired her life from afar and could tell she really lived it to the fullest. My heart breaks at her sudden passing but from all the messages know she really left a lasting impression on so many people.

Nancy I am remembering the night at Misquamicut beach where we took Lauren and Jen to the carousel at Watch Hill to escape the 40 people eating lobsters in your beach house. We all rode the carousel and tried to get the gold ring. We got ice cream and watched the boats. It was an awesome night with you and your girls. Love all of you

I always looked forward to seeing Lauren - she brought so much light and energy sharing stories of her travel adventures with Andrew and her pups, new foods she'd tried, books to read, drinks to taste, apps to use, the list goes on - Lauren lived life to the fullest. Lauren worked so hard and was successful in so many ways - she wanted everyone to succeed to their fullest too. She continually shared career advice with me and helped me get where I am today. Words cannot express how much she will be missed.

Her family and friends are in our thoughts and prayers - most especially, Andrew, Tommy, Nancy, Jenn, Justen, Caiden, Chloe, Judy, Will, and Becca. We love you all - Tara, Mary, and Len (Rooke Family)

Sending love to Lauren’s family. Such a devastating loss. I have wonderful memories of Lauren at the beach in RI and playing at her house in Longmeadow with Jenn when we were young. I remember running into her one night in Boston and she told me that she was so excited to be moving to CA. I have enjoyed watching her amazing travels over the years on social. Lauren has inspired me to book that trip I have been thinking about. Sending light and love to all of Lauren’s friends and family. ❤️ Colleen Ingham (Kelleher)
