Summary

It has been ten years since the tragic death of Lauren Agee. In this powerful and deeply emotional conversation, Sheila Wysocki sits down with Lauren’s mother, Sherry Smith, to reflect on a decade of grief, resilience, and the fight for justice. Sherry shares her fears of Lauren being forgotten, the ways she keeps her daughter’s memory alive, and the painful reminders that come with milestones she’ll never get to share. From the scholarship created in Lauren’s honor to the community stories that continue to surface, this episode sheds light on Lauren’s lasting impact and the strength of a mother who refuses to let her daughter’s story fade. Together, Sheila and Sherry discuss how grief evolves with time, the failures of the criminal justice system, and the unwavering hope that one day the truth will be revealed. In one of the most moving moments, Sherry delivers a message to those who know what happened the night Lauren died—closing with unexpected words of grace: forgiveness. This episode is a tribute to Lauren’s life, a testament to her mother’s strength, and a reminder that justice delayed is never justice denied. 😍 𝐈 𝐇𝐎𝐏𝐄 𝐘𝐎𝐔 𝐆𝐔𝐘𝐒 𝐄𝐍𝐉𝐎𝐘 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐒! ▶ If you enjoy this video, please like it and share it. ▶ Don't forget to subscribe to this channel for more updates. ▶ Subscribe now: https://www.youtube.com/@WITHOUTWARNINGBYSHEILAWYSOCKI?sub_confirmation=1 ⚡️ 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐔𝐒: 👉 Website: https://www.sheilawysocki.com/ 👉 Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/withoutwarningpi/ 👉 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WithoutWarningPI/ 👉 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sheila-wysocki/ 👉 Twitter : https://x.com/scrappymomPI 👉 Email: [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.
