Lauren, my sweet friend, what will we do without you?

You were the only person who could cut my son’s hair; his autism created such anxiety about haircuts. You were our hero, you put D at ease and cut his hair for over ten years.

Losing you hurts so much. I will miss you forever. The thought of never seeing you again is more than I am ready to accept.

You were so proud of your boys! We would talk and laugh about our sons and their teenage angst. Sometimes we wanted to pull our hair out.

I love you, Kitten. I hope that you know that.

What a loss for the world.

Lauren there was a short time back in the 90 s when Gail ,you and myself became friends I enjoyed those memories we gathered up from then I wish I could of had more,you are now are free from any thing .you will never leave my thoughts and I will miss seeing your beautiful face.i just want you to be at peace my friend .( You alway liked those sad country songs I would only let you play was Garth Brooks the dance,friends in low places,thunder rolls.well this is for you Lauren,to anyone that reads this,anytime you hear Garth Brooks remember our wonderful, loving,Lauren ! Good bye, butterfly!

I am so grateful to have the chance to work with her, she was a amazing hairstylist. She was caring, loving and a loyal friend. She was my best friend. She will be missed deeply. I pray for her family, as death is never easy. Lauren will always be in my heart.

Oh sweetie!! You always made me laugh. I was so scared when the doctors found the abnormality on my brain and you were so supportive and kind. I dont want this to be true!!! You were the brightest of the Trifecta!! I love you

My heart goes out to the family, her mom and two boys. She would talk often of them. She has done my hair for years and even has done my daughters and son in law for years. Just recently did my granddaughters hair cut. She has a giving and kind heart. I prayed with her the last time I saw her, she was feeling very ill. May God's peace be with your family as you remember Lauren's life.

She is so incredibly beautiful and stole my heart for a moment in time . All my love forever & always my angel

I have known Lauren sense she moved to iowa city. I am so sad by loss of a beautiful friend, sister,mentor. I want to pick up the phone and tell u i love u one more time! May u rest in peace angel. Thinking and praying for her sons , who she loved so much!! You will be missed so much!

Having known "Laurie" through most of my life, I'll miss the way she could make people smile. From keeping me company as we walked to school to the years we spent in band (her in flag corps) and into adulthood, she'll always be in my memories. Be at home with the angels, friend. All my best to her family.

RIP , so hard to believe your gone !

I know your flying with the angels, until we meet again

xoxo

Lauren & I went to Cosmetology school together & graduated together. I use to babysit Jordan at my at home

daycare. We were very very close & then kinda lost touch for a few years. I miss her dearly & loved her like family. We both were also from Newton, IA. She was also friends with my mom who passed in 2008, Debbie Chamberlain. We will miss u, Lauren!!! XO Love your friend, Kami Kinzebach (Chamberlain)

We were so shocked and saddened to hear about Lauren's death. Our son Ryan grew up with Dylan and our paths often crossed because of that. For years i had incessant complaining from Ryan about the great food Lauren would make and share with Ryan and why could i not cook as well as Lauren? I was never able to match her standard and indeed when Ryan came home from Dylans house i could smell the great spices on Ryan and was jealous! It was always so easy to talk to Lauren and we had many laughs about our boys along the way. My deepest sympathies to Dylan, Jordan and Sam.

I was so sad to hear of Lauren's sudden passing, she was so kind and beautiful. She will be missed by all who new her. Love and hugs to her family.

For awhile I helped raised you like my daughter and I will miss you greatly. May you RIP.

I’m so sorry to hear about the loss of Lauren. She cut my hair for along time but just 1 time last year. I kept up with her life on Facebook and it’s very sad to lose her. My thoughts and prayers are with her family!

I Loved You,Lauren,you were friend,my bestie,my confidiant,my co worker,we were like sisters,we connected on so many levels,especially our love of cooking & feeding the people we loved!

I will miss you more than you will ever know...too many memories to count,the talks,the giggles-(Cest Moi)-lol the crying sessions,even the stern talks we had that led us angry with each other but in the end we always made up,cause that's what true friends do...You were a shining star,girl,with a heart of gold,I will always carry a piece of you with me❤

Lauren was such a beautiful person inside as well as out. I first met her when she was working at Canteberry. Our paths crossed again a few years after that and she became such a fan of me. It always made me feel special that she cared so much. I moved to Kentucky and she was so great with staying in contact and still making me feel like the beautiful barbie I always said SHE was. I am so grateful to have been touched in my life by her. She was the only one that could do my hair correctly. She helped me survive and chose to leave an unhealthy relationship and stayed in such close contact to continue to encourage me. I loved that I made her proud. She is loved by so many and will truly be missed by us all. God bless her family..........

I had met Lauren a few times. And we always talked about the good things in life, people watching and a good laugh or two. Playing pool one day was a happy moment I will never forget. Her light , love and laughter will be missed. My deepest condolences to the family. Psalms23.1-6

Words can not express the way I feel, my friend till the end...may peace be with all of you. Donna, Dion, Margie, Jordan and Dylan you all are in my thoughts and prayers, Dawn

I'm so terribly saddened to hear of Lauren's passing. I've known her since our school years & she was so kind, beautiful, fun loving....I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this. I will miss our facebook chats. Rest in peace, beautiful kitten...peace....you've finally reached it....you will greatly missed, love.....
