"Those who knew Lauren knew how much her family and friends meant to her," Michael Vallone, who organized a fundraiser for her family, said.
"She demonstrated her generosity in so many different ways, from making herself available at all times to support her kids to always being willing to support everyone else’s kids and their school fundraising efforts. How much popcorn or Gertrude Hawk chocolate does one person actually need?"
