Adrianna N: In honor of Lauren, I paid for the order of the lady behind me in line at Starbucks! Hope you and your family have a very merry Christmas! Love, Adrianna, Mommy to Avery
Meagan M: Hello Autry Family! Everyday on my drive to work I pass by a very large (and very sad looking) cemetery. I often times think of my friends who go visit their Angels in a cemetery and think about how they decorate, cry, talk to, and just be with their babies there. This year for my RAK I was inspired to go to the cemetery and leave a flower and a note on some of the headstones of babies. I hope this gesture in Lauren's memory will bring someone comfort and joy this holiday season. Thank you for inviting me to be apart of something so special! Thinking of you, Meagan M
The Mendez Family: For our Angel Lauren Isabelle, we honored her by selecting 2 Angels from the Angel tree. Our family selected a boy and a girl, to donate Christmas gifts, to hopefully make their holiday special as you are. We wish you a Merry Christmas, we love you Lauren! The Mendez Family
To my niece Lauren,
This poem is for you:
Somewhere across the winter world tonight
You will be hearing chimes that fill the air;
Christmas extends its all-enfolding light
Across the distance...something we can share.
You will be hearing chimes that fill the air;
Christmas extends its all-enfolding light
Across the distance...something we can share.
You will be singing, just the same as I,
These familiar songs we know so well,
And you will see these same stars in your sky
And wish upon that brightest one that fell.
These familiar songs we know so well,
And you will see these same stars in your sky
And wish upon that brightest one that fell.
I shall remember you and trim my tree,
One shining star upon the topmost bough;
I will hang wreaths of faith that all may see --
Tonight I glimpse beyond the hear and now.
One shining star upon the topmost bough;
I will hang wreaths of faith that all may see --
Tonight I glimpse beyond the hear and now.
And all the time that we must be apart
I keep a candle in my heart.
I keep a candle in my heart.
(Written by Mary E. Linton)
I think of you everyday and carry you within my heart. Your Christmas present was a pretty ornament to hang on the tree each year. I especially like it because it has purple 
. I wish you a Merry Christmas Lauren, we love you! Aunt Christy
The Rodriguez Family: Hello our sweet Lauren,
First off, We want to wish you a Merry Christmas! I want to tell you how loved & missed you are from the Rodriguez Family.
We often talk about you & picture your beautiful face. You're one very special little girl, with all the lives you touch each year & especially the ones who got the honor of meeting & spending time with you. That is something your Uncle Joe & I cherish. I would have loved for your cousins to have met you.They would smother you with love! Trust me, you'd be pushing them away! When I see Samson growing older it makes me miss you even more. I know you two would have been close.
Although you left us way to soon. You are in our lives always. Your mom & dad keep your spirt alive & it's a beautiful blessing to witness. Your big sister Halley also takes part in remembering you with lots of great art work. You will not ever be forgotten.
To me there's only one reason I can think god took you from us. It's that heaven needs babies too & we needed another angel to keep watch over us.
Sometimes the most tragic losses in our life, although very painful & sad. Can result in a family coming together. That's what happens each year for your birthday & Christmas. Our family as well as friends all come together to honor & remember your spirit with lots of love.
We love you Lauren, you're our niece & that's a fact that will not ever change. Until the day we shall we again, I will keep you in my heart.
Love the Rodriguez Family: Aunt Nicole, Uncle Joe, Joey, Iggie, Matthew, Noah, & Samson
The Garza Family: Christmas 2014:
So this year we wanted to do our letters to you a little different and decided to write it as a family.
It's always hard this time of year especially when we have to write you a letter, rather have you here with us instead of in heaven, but only God knows why. We didn't really get that much time spent with you but only a few minutes, but in that very little time you became a big part of us and loved you from the moment we laid eyes on you princess.
This year we had another baby, so now you have another cousin and his name is John ADAM! We had a scare after he was born, he had to be in the nicu for days. And we feel like he had you as his guardian angel in there watching over him every moment.
Good deeds that we've all done:
Tia Amber: Dec.22, 2014
Today at Starbucks was CRAZY! But I really wanted and needed it that morning. When I got to the window to pay for my order the man at the window said the lady in front of you paid for your order. I just smiled and still handed him my card and said OK then I'll pay for the truck behind me. Their order was slightly more then what mine was but I still paid it forward.

We all four donated a couple toys to Toys For Tots!
Lauren even though you aren't physically here with us you are always with us and will ALWAYS be a part of our lives. We love and miss you mamas. And may we meet again one day, along with the many loved ones we have also lost.
Love you always and forever Lauren. Merry Christmas princess!
Xoxo xoxo The Garza Family!
