My friendship with Lauren was recent and began a few years back when we happened to meet at a criminal lawyers' seminar in Santa Fe.  Our resulting friendship reinforced my belief in fate. My husband and I have both faced our own battles with cancer and Lauren and I reconnected when she moved to NY for treatment.  Throughout her very difficult fight, Lauren remained upbeat, brave and open-minded. Despite our common enemy, in my conversations with Lauren, she managed to stay focused on the day to day details of life, and to somehow keep it normal. We shared legal anecdotes, medical war stories and a bit of gossip. I will always be inspired by Lauren's inner strength, her beautiful spirit and her enormous courage.  It was truly a blessing to have met her.

Lauren and I started practicing law at Stokes & Shapiro in Atlanta in 1981. She was articulate and persistent. I am sorry to hear of her passing, and hope that you find comfort in your memories of her.

our thoughts and prayers are with all the becker family, may you find comfort in the memories you all shared

Lauren and I reconnected after 39 years last spring, in New York.  We first had lunch with a couple of friends from Washington High School and then, a few weeks later, she joined my daughter and me for a memorable 3-hour lunch at Bloomingdale's, preceded by shopping for shoes and followed by a trip to a candy store! Despite the obvious signs of her illness, Lauren bravely summoned the strength to meet us and was her usual delightful self. She refused to dwell on her condition and was wonderfully optimistic about the future. I feel blessed that I grew up with her--Mrs. Rohrer, if you're reading this, I was also in your first-grade class--and particularly touched that our paths would cross again.  I am so sorry for your loss and will be keeping you in my prayers.

Lauren was a courageous and passionate defender of those whom some viewed as the least among us.  She was creative, relentless, and caring.  Members of the Federal Defender Program in Atlanta and the private practitioners who like Lauren serve indigent clients in the federal courts are saddened by her passing and your loss.  She will remain an inspiration to us to fight steadfastly for our clients regardless of the odds.  We wish you peace.

Sherri, I just heard and wanted to write and let you know how sorry I am for you and your families loss. Although I didn't ever get the opportunity to meet Lauren, I can see a resemblance between you and her. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to you and your family. Colleen & Brownie

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

To the Family of Lauren Becker,
   
 I send my condolences to you and hope you find comfort in Gods word, to get you through these times of sorrow. (Psalm 119:50,52,76)

The Collins were neighbors of the Beckers for 40 years. A long time to become fast friendsl.Lauren was a child who found her own way, did her own  thing with grace and dignity.  May you rest in peace, Lauren, and may God grant the family solace in knowing she lived a good life in helping others less fortunate. The Collins

No words can express our sorrow on your loss.  Having gone through this many years ago I can honestly say we feel your pain. She was a delightful child when we knew her--may she rest in peace and may you find comfort in her many accomplishments and her love of family and friends.  She will not be forgotten in our family.  The Collins

To the Becker Family,  

My name is Janet Rohrer.  I had Lauren in a first grade class that I taught in Cedar Rapids.  Mr. George Simpson was the principal.  I tutored Lauren the summer after first grade also.  I was pregnant with my first child.  When I ask my doctor, Dr. Swartz, if it would be advisable to go to your house to do so, he said, "If you go into labor, tell Arlene to put a clean cloth on the dining room table and I'll be right over."  That didn't happen.  Not having children yet of our own, you let my husband Ed and me take two of your daughters on an outing to one of the State Park lakes.  We all had fun.

The sad thing is that we have lived here in Atlanta since 1970, and I did not know that Lauren was living in the same area.  We missed the opportunity to get reacquainted.  I know that you are very proud of her and all her accomplishments.  Even today it makes me feel good that I had a small part of her life.  She is one student I never forgot.

Our sympathies and prayers go out to you and your family.

My deepest condolences to the Becker family and friends, may you draw ever closer to God of all comfort during this difficult time. James 4:8.

Lauren fought this battle with dignity and the same tenacious spirit we saw in her everyday. She was bright, vibrant and a loyal friend. I'm glad you are at peace now, Lauren.  You will be missed!

With deepest sympathy to the Becker family during your time of grief...Psalm 46:1...God is for us a refuge and strength, A help that is readily to be found during difficult times...May God provide you with peace and comfort to endure the days ahead.
