Lauren's Loquacious Land of Loopiness

Welcome graphic

This is from the night I helped Heather celebrate her 21st B-day. It's a reflection from a bathroom in one of the bars we visited throughout the evening. ;)

In memory of Ese, a sweet girl who was taken before her smile could affect more of the world. She was intelligent, energetic, enthusiastic, helpful, hilarious, animated, talented, outgoing and friendly. She will be missed by many. I pray that her family will have the strength to carry on and not limit themselves out of fear, rather living each day to the fullest as Ese absolutely did.

Current Thoughts:

Last weekend I went home for Ese's visitation. I got to see friends that I hadn't seen in years. As everyone said, it was sad that we got together under such unfortunate circumstances, but that's how life is. I just pray that her parents don't limit the activities of the youngest daughter in fear of losing her too, because that's not what Ese would have wanted. God bless their family.
