2/13/2012 - Happy Birthday Lauren! What a wonderful gift you were to our family and all of our friends.
11/28/2011 - Spent Thanksgiving day in St Paul then Saturday in Omaha. Good to see both sides of our family on those visits. Ben is in the Southwest band and will be performing at Pearl Harbor next week, marking the 70th anniversary of the attack. They will be in Honolulu Monday-Saturday. Hope your Christmas season is Merry.
12/9/2010 - Thanks to the many who've conveyed their thoughts here and elsewhere on the anniversary of Lauren's death. We are deeply touched by this rememberence. The J's.
7/26/2010 - Summer is quickly whizzing by us. Ben finished baseball last Saturday. They were the youngins in the 13-14 yr old league and were competitive in most games. They finished 2-0-1 in their last 3 regular season games. Wait until next year. Ben tried his had at detassling for a week this year. He was driven to make money and that he did. His job was shortened as he had the tournament then had to finish getting ready for the Boy Scout National Jamboree. His troop will be at Fort AP Hill starting today then tour DC next week. His troop for this event is made up of scouts from Lincoln and southeastern Nebraska. You can follow them through pictures at http://gallery.me.com/scouterdan#100261 Jill headed a CureSearch walk team which did well again and we attended Lincoln's Relay for Life a week ago. Attendence seemed down. It was a very hot and muggy night but I think they were right at their goal. We continue to see the orange LJ shirts which makes us smile that so many people continue to honor her. Hope everyone's summer has gone and finishes out well. Thanks for stopping by and posting.
2/13/2010 - Happy Sweet 16 to you Lauren! Hope you have a sweet car to drive in heaven.

The morning of December 8, 2007, Lauren lost her battle with Leukemia and left us for a place in Heaven with no pain, no needles and no sickness. She is one of God’s special angels now.

WELCOME
This web site is dedicated to our friend Lauren. We are so grateful to the many friends and family who are praying for Lauren, and hopefully this web site will keep everyone "in the loop" with her progress as she fights leukemia. In November, 2007, at age 13, Lauren has been diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). 

Lauren was 4 ½ years old when first diagnosed with Wilms’ Tumor in the summer of ’98. With surgical removal of her left kidney, chemotherapy, and radiation; Lauren successfully fought this disease. In June, 2005, at age 11, Lauren was diagnosed with recurrent Wilms’ Tumor in her right lung. With chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation; Lauren again successfully fought this disease and with her entire right lung intact! The exact ALL treatment course is yet unknown, but experience of others, tells us this road is long. 

To learn more about these types of cancers, please visit our resources page. As Lauren progresses with her treatments, we will update our friends here. Thank you for your love, support and prayers. 

This site is being maintained by family friends and any errors or omissions are ours, not the family's. Please do not mistake this web site as an attempt to insulate the family from your contact and concern. They welcome your calls and good wishes.
