Lauren was diagnosed with cancer when she was 27 years old. Her determined nature and will to beat the disease meant that she did not let it slow her down or stop her achieving her goals in life. In the time since her first diagnosis Lauren had a child (Findley) younger brother to Cormac who was 18 months old at the time. Lauren had gone self-employed after her maternity leave with Cormac so she could be at home more with the children and work her own hours around quality family time. Lauren grew her Accountancy Practice into a successful business and was still working late in to 2014 when we decided that her time would be better spent with the family.
On 17th December Lauren was admitted in to Warwick Myton Hospice. At this point, having recently being diagnosed with two brain tumours, Lauren was scared and anxious. The effect of going into Myton Hospice was immediate, the whole family was made to feel so welcome and at ease by the nursing staff. The skill and knowledge of the doctors was made clear by the instant improvement in Laurens health due to tweaks in her medication. The level of care throughout Laurens stay was first class, however, the difference at Myton is not just the proficiency of the staff it is all of the other small things that make the stay as pleasant as possible for the patient and their family. Lauren loved to have complementary therapies like Reiki or Reflexology, she had Mabel the dog visit and she used the hairdresser a number of times. When I bought the kids in they were not intimidated by the surroundings and there were dedicated areas where we could play or chill out. Due to the length of time that we had stayed at Myton the nursing staff became very close to Lauren, as with most people that knew her they were captured by her bubbly personality and spirit. Laurens last week was incredibly hard for all of her family; again, the nursing staff showed so much care and compassion it felt like they were losing a family member too.
On average it costs £535 to fund one patient for one night. Lauren spent 70 days in the care of Myton Hospice Warwick at a cost of nearly £37,500.
I’m not sure how it would have panned out if Lauren had not come to Myton but, what I can say is, that it is so important to be able to give others the opportunity of having the same care and treatment as Lauren had. The only way to do this is through donations. Please give as much as you can, this is a truly worthy cause that makes a real difference to people’s lives when they are at their most vulnerable.
Please comment and tell us what Lauren meant to you or how you will remember her. I plan to save the comments for the boys in their memory box so they can see how special their mummy was to so many.

Her honesty, smile and good humour were always evident. Lauren loved the garden and we worked hard together on the garden at the flat and at Handcross Grove. Cormac and Findley your mum loved you so much and did everything she could to give you a safe, loving, happy home.

Lauren was always kind, supportive and just great fun to be around. We spent far more time chatting and laughing than talking about tax and VAT. Since finding out 2 years ago that Lauren was fighting cancer, I have been completely humbled by her bravery, humour and sheer determination to not let her illness get in the way of doing exactly what she wanted to do. The most important of which was being your mum, which was by far her favourite job. Paul, Carolyn, Andre & Liam, My thoughts are with you. Lauren was a truly beautiful person.

Everyone who has ever met her had no choice but be touched by her, I don’t know of anyone who didn’t like her. It’s taken me ages to write this as I just can’t find the words to do your mum justice, my life has been a better one and I am a much better person for knowing your mum, she will always be loved and will be forever missed, steven ”

” To Paul, Cormac and Findley, Paul, you did such an amazing job of being there for Lauren. You were strong, reassuring and loving throughout…. Lauren new shed picked a guddun in you from the very start. You made her so happy right to the very end, you and your boys were her world and everything she worked hard to achieve was for you all. Cormac and Finn, your mummy was amazing. She had the prettiest smile and the kindest eyes… She was my best friend as soon as we met. I will ensure, along with loads of others, that you both grow up knowing what sort of woman your mummy was. She was brave and strong but beautiful and gentle… She was organised and efficient but patient and calm… She was all about the “rules” but was always the most fun person to be around…She was everything…. And she touched so many people lives… I am so honoured that she chose me to be her best friend and I loved her so very much. All our love Sam, mark, phoebe and Harriet xxxx ”

” Paul & family, Lauren was one of the nicest people I’ve ever known, so kind, caring and the best mummy and wife anyone could hope for. Having been Lauren’s friend for nearly 20 years since school, I don’t remember a single time when she wasn’t smiling, laughing or just being happy, except for when she was telling me to stop interrupting the class in Science :p Paul, I’m so honoured to have been your best man and share such a wonderful day with you both, you really were made for each other. The memories she’s given her family and many friends will live on and Findley and Cormac will, in time, learn, not only how much she loved them both, but also how loved she was by all that knew her. The fact that you will continue to be a truly amazing Daddy will only bring the family closer together. Love you all xxx ”

I instantly liked her the very first time we met.I called her ” the flower girl” as she always wore something with flowers on. She talked of you both with love and laughter and I know she was extremely proud of you both. Although she was an Accountant ( yawn! )I think her favourite job was being your mum.
