  2. Lauren and CJ were an inspiration to everyone who knew them. Their love for God showed in the way they loved and served others passionately. I was blessed to know them the little time I did. They were generous and kind in helping me raise money for my mission trips to Haiti. I was fortunate to be able to help them along the way to going on their first mission trip together this past year. They will be missed but have made a difference in so many lives. Prayers for the family members and close friends of this beloved couple who were called home.

  3. Dear Troy, Tammy and all,
    Our hearts are broken with you. There are no words that can help right now. We just want you to know we are praying for you and hurting with you. Our Father is the only one who has the answers and I know He is holding you all close. Debbie and I love you from the depths of our hearts. We are so sorry for your loss. One day we will all smile together again. Until then you are in our hearts, thoughts, and of course our prayers. May He hold you and keep you in Jesus name.
    David

  4. My sincerest condolences to the families of CJ and Lauren. I knew CJ from Martin HS. We both graduated in 2008. He was always such a warm, and loving person. He gave really great hugs, and was easy to talk to. I never got the chance to meet Lauren, but if she caught CJ’s eye, she must have been someone very special. There are no words to describe the loss of a child. We may not know why things like this happen, but we can rest and know that they are wrapped in the loving arms of our Lord and Savior. My continued prayers to both families during this difficult time. Rest well CJ and Lauren, until we meet again.

  5. Our hearts are all with both families. No words can express the sorrow you all have. May God help you all through this time. We’ve known CJ since before he was a year old. God got two wonderful angels and they will remain in our hearts forever.
