Lauren was such a precious friend, always up for an adventure. I had the chance of meeting her at NJC, and we truly connected years later when we were both living in Paris. I will miss her kindness, generosity and wit. My heart breaks knowing that we will not meet again in the city of lights. I send out my condolences to Gayle and her many friends, and to everyone who had the chance of knowing and loving her.
Dear my beloved friend Lauren,
It’s hard, extremely hard to write these words. You have been a great friend, a generous soul to all the people that crossed your brief path in this world. You welcomed me as part of your family, you supported me in the hardest choices of my life, we celebrated in the best way possible the success of my career and finally you came to hug me and see with your eyes where life has brought me. There has not been one time I asked for your help and received a “no” as an answer.
You honoured me, cheered me up, enriched me with your friendship and this was priceless for me, it was one of the many signs of God's grace that I received. I'm sure it was the same for all the people who had the privilege to have you around them. There are so many of us today dismayed and sincerely saddened.
May God bless you and welcome you as you deserve, as he wanted you to deserve by making you go through the difficult adventure of suffering, which is always the entrance of heaven for the people who deserve it like You.
Goodbye my friend. And, thank you.
With infinite love,
Baldo
Dear Lolo,
I’ve been reflecting on the times we spent together, and it’s hard to believe you’re gone. You had such a genuine warmth about you, always making those around you feel valued and cared for. I’m really grateful for the moments we shared and the laughter we had.
You had this special ability to light up a room with your presence, and that’s something I’ll always remember about you. Even in the simplest moments, you brought a sense of joy and ease that made being around you so comforting.
It’s difficult to imagine not having you here, but I know your spirit and the kindness you showed will live on in the hearts of everyone who knew you.
Rest in peace, Lauren. You’ll be missed more than words can express, and you’ll always hold a special place in my heart.
Baby G…
Laur,
She was the one and only Lauren, truly unique. Thank you, Laur, for teaching me so much and for the experiences we shared together—experiences I will never forget.
I remember the times when I asked her for beauty tips, or how she taught me to do my makeup. The time, when many times you came to Barcelona and we had so many adventures. Adventures in Paris, Switzerland uncountable memories. Those are just some of the little things she showed me.
She always told me to believe in myself and to protect my sweet soul. Laur, I promise you that I will never change.
I’m sending you so much love, wherever you are, as I know you’re with your sister, receiving the love of everyone who cared for you.
Lauren,
I'll always remember the first time we met in Mexico City with Samantha; introducing me to your mothet Ms. Gayle in Toronto, and the countless times we had the chance to meet in London.
