VanReese, Lauren Joyce 18 years young. Lauren was born May 26, 1999 and was taken from us Mar. 6, 2018. Lauren was a 2017 high school graduate of Blaine High School. In the fall of 2017 she started her college career at Minnesota State University, Mankato. She was so excited when she was accepted to the school of her choice. It was her dream to become an RN just like her aunties. We were all so proud. Lauren was happiest when she was with her family and her friends, it didn't matter if she was at her happy place at the cabin, at a ballfield, at an ice rink, or just hanging out at home. She always had her family and her friends there, many of her friends became our family. Every time we listen to music we will be reminded of her love for concerts, music and the gift of knowing every word to every song. There was nothing that she wouldn't try, she was good at everything she did. She loved the adventure of life. Lauren will be forever in our hearts and never forgotten. Lauren is survived by her Beloved Brother Wyatt, her Mother Kim (Paul) Josh and Morgan, her Father Larry (Angela) Samantha (Dan), Mariah and Ryan. Loving Grand-parents, Aunts, Uncles, very special Cousins and so many endearing friends. Lauren is preceded in death by Grandmother Cheryl VanReese. A celebration of life will be held for Lauren on Saturday, June 9th at Glen Cary Lutheran Church, 15531 Central Avenue, Ham Lake, MN 55304. There will be a visitation from 9:00 11:00 following a 11:00 service. In Lauren's words, 'It is never goodbye, it is always I will see you later'
