Lauren McCain
On her MySpace page, Lauren McCain listed "the love of my life" as Jesus Christ.
Her family said the 20-year-old international studies major became a Christian some time ago. Her uncle, Jeff Elliott, told The Oklahoman newspaper that she was an avid reader, was learning German and had almost mastered Latin. She was home-schooled and had worked at a department store for about a year to save money for college. Scroll down to read and post comments |

I had the privilege of knowing Lauren through an intramural girls powder-puff football league run by Campus Crusade. I was one of the coaches for her team. Lauren was such a sweetheart off the field, but she showed no mercy as our best defensive lineman on the field. She was an amazing girl. Anyone who had the gift of ever meeting her will miss her very much.

Lauren was in Band with me from 7th and 8th grade in Portland, Texas. I will never forget how much of a wonderful person she was. Her smile brightened up any room, and she was a friend to all. My thoughts and prayers are with her and her family. I cannot believe something like this would happen to such a wonderful person.

Our thoughts and prayers are with the McCain family as they mourn the loss of their beautiful daughter, Lauren. We haven't seen you since Jacksonville and we know how proud you must be of the lovely girl she grew up to be. She's with Jesus now, and we know that that is a great comfort to you.

Lauren McCain was a beautiful young woman whose mission in life was to Glorify God through her life, and she did. She had such a sweet and innocent heart and loved people and the children of her church. She was active in the AWANA club as a youth leader the years before she left for VT. She was home schooled so this was her first experience in a state school. Lauren was such a witness for Christ that I am sure she was praying for the gunman in her last moments on this earth. We at Restoration church know that she is at the feet of Jesus, smiling upon his face with her beautiful smile. She will be missed.

I knew Lauren when we were in grade school together. We had tons of fun in band. She had a lot of friends and if anyone of us needed anything, she would stop what she was doing and would help us out. She was a sweet, caring, beautiful person and the people who knew her will miss her greatly. At least we know she is in a better place where she is in no pain and she is well taken care of. Her love for God and other people surely made her an angel.
