"He didn't post her the same way I didn't, because Lauren used to get a lot of disrespectful things said about her and I asked him not to."
"All that ya'll need to know is Lauren loved her daddy and he loved her. She made him laugh with her crazy personality and she loved to be the centre of attention and he loved to be her audience"
"It couldn't hurt some of ya'll to be a little bit more compassionate, you don't have to kick a man while he's down. Losing a chid is as down as it gets."
