I was not aware that Lauren had passed away until the Mount Hermon Writers Conference, when Austin made the announcement about the award in her honor. I had the privilege of meeting Lauren a few years ago at Mount Hermon, and we guest posted on each other's blogs occasionally. I just came across an application she submitted in 2008 to be a professional blogger for the company I own. I'll be praying for your comfort, Brad, as I'm sure you must miss your dear wife very much.

I miss her so much!

Today, it has been 13 years since our son passed away from CF. We adjure our friends and contacts to fill the world with random acts of kindness and to check out asknoah.com. May G-d irradicate these horrific illnesses forever.

Hi Maressa,

I'd definitely be willing to talk about CF with you if you'd like. Lauren was always excited about helping other CF sufferers and caregivers understand the disease.

If you get this, feel free to send me an email... there's a link on the left sidebar of the blog that you can use to find my address.

I don't know you but my 9.5 month old daughter has CF. My husband and I are not sure entirely what that means for her life just yet but this blog brought me to tears. Your wife sounds like an amazing Christian woman. I'm sure she's in heaven and relieved not to have CF but I'm sur eyou miss her so much. I hope my daughter can live a full life as she did. -CF Mommy in San Diego, Maressa Lauren Conover

I am a helium writer. I noticed Lauren's writing and that she did not have writing stars for such a good writer. I sent her a note and started to investigate when I discovered she has passed away. How sad. I am glad I got to read some of her work and get to know a little bit about her. Her life lives on in her writing. Angie

I had bookmarked her blog few years ago and just recently came back to it today. Sadden to hear that she had passed away. CF is a terrible disease. May she breathe easily now.

wow, what a wonderful and fitting way to honor Lauren. How neat that you could be there and also get away for a bit.

Lauren touched us with her passion for the written word and her incredible positive attitude. She embodied that "True Grit" spirit, and it was fitting that we remember her, from this conference on, with this award. Thanks for this wonderful post, Brad, and for bringing Lauren's parents along to the event. What an emotional, and fun, night that was. May God richly bless you all in the days to come.

What an amazing way to honor such a wonderful woman. I was moved to tears by this blog entry Brad. Thank you for sharing it on the CF forums. Lauren was a wonderful person and I am sad that she is no longer with us, but joyful that she is no longer suffering.
