Lauren was an undergraduate majoring in International Studies. She was an avid reader, was learning German, and had almost mastered Latin.

Lauren was home-schooled and was one of our own BEACH Breakers girls soccer players. Lauren was Coach Leslie Carmichael's center fullback for the school years 2003, 2004 and 2005.

Coach Karen Macri wrote, "Lauren was a vibrant believer; no one who knew her could have doubted her love for the Lord." Dept. Head Kellie Kessler wrote, "She was a very sweet girl and had a good relationship with her Jesus. She was always so wonderful to have on the team, and just a joy to everyone."

All who knew Lauren in the homeschool community loved her dearly and mourn her death; but we rejoice that she is with her Lord, who filled her short life with such profound purpose and meaning. Our deepest condolences and prayers go out to the McCain family for peace and comfort in the coming days.
