"Can’t believe I’ll never see you or talk to you again. It’s absolute madness. Fly high Loza, until we meet again. My love goes to your beautiful babies who you loved dearly and your family who loved you to pieces. R.I.P my little Loza"

Dion Phillips wrote: "Lauren, I remember being young and innocent playing out on Walden Drive. I remember you were so kind and I have good memories of you growing up. I actually miss them days of us all. My thoughts are with your family. I’m so shocked, you were taken far too soon. I hope your babies are taken care of. RIP beautiful."

Chris Burke wrote: "Rip Lauren. Fly high with the angels. To think, I was only talking to you less than 12 hours before this happened. You will be sadly missed. Love Burkey, Bookie and Milly."
