Lauren's 15th birthday
Whew! 18th birthday today!! That's a big one.
We tried to celebrate it her way, but it will never be the same without her.
Today, 18 treats, 18 kids toys, 18 teen 'toys', 18 balloons, and 18 head scarves ("Che-MOO caps") made their way to Primary Children's Medical Center. They were to be distributed to cancer patients who were visiting in clinic today. Seeing her sweet friends (caregivers) there was a special treat.
Special thanks to Brittany, Shanna, and Jen Nichols who sewed the head scarves and delivered them with me. They'll be making a lot more to contribute - so if you sew - let us know!
Lauren's "Happily Ever After, The Power of Perspective" was delivered to each of the three schools (Upland Terrace Elementary, Wasatch Junior High School, and Skyline High School) she attended by her friends Emma and Eliza Jackson by way of a Skyline High School fund-raiser.

We're still raising funds and trying to deliver wishes to Lauren's favorite charities. This month, her foundation will match any funds raised by the sale of her book on Blurb.com.
She'll be receiving an honorary diploma from Skyline High School and the Church Seminary program this month. Her cute friends are all a part of this "perfect class" graduating in 2012 - and she'll be a part of it all.
Thanks to all who remember her and live her legacy by making wishes for others to come true.
We celebrate all of the days of love and laughter ... and that she's ours forever.
Happy Birthday, Lauren!! We love you!
