“Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.” Mother Teresa (1910-1997, bio link)

The strength and passion of the Lauren Project  fuels carbon monoxide poisoning prevention and raises awareness. Lauren is surely missed in person but her will survives in many as is voiced by her father in the link above…. “She was so damn opinionated and she didn’t care who knew that,” says her father, Don Johnson, who heads the Lauren Project. “She had such a desire to make the world a better place and that doesn’t die. Deep within her soul, she somehow knew the difference between right and wrong. Justice was something she didn’t think anyone should not have.”

Please see the following link, as evidence of this continuing passion  in Colorado.

Help support the efforts to prevent the pains of loss. Bob Dwyer, CSME Carbon Monoxide Safety
