LAUREN ELIZABETH BRENNER
March 23, 1988 - June 19, 2001
Lauren was a typical 13 year old, involved in a variety of activities at school, church, sports, in
her community and with many different groups of friends. She collapsed at a summer
basketball camp held at a local high school, never regaining consciousness. It was later
determined that the cause of death was sudden cardiac arrhythmia. There had been no
prior symptoms or illnesses to detect a potential problem.
Through generous donations of family and friends, the Lauren E. Brenner Memorial
Fund has supported different projects focused on healthy heart awareness and automatic
external defibrillator placement. Because of her genuine sense of caring, her positive
attitude and constant smile, Lauren touched people’s lives, some of which she never even
realized. We continue her legacy as her memory lives in our hearts.

ALAYNA NICOLE GRIFFIN
Alayna Nicole Griffin was born June 23,
1997. She was a beautiful, lively and very
independent little girl. From the day she
entered our lives, Alayna made sure that life
was never dull. She loved to be in the middle
of whatever was going on. Whether it was
playing dolls with her sister, Kathryn, singing
with her brother Ethan or collecting
"wormies" after it rained she enjoyed it all.
Her enthusiasm for everything that she did
was so wonderful to watch. On May 28, 2001,
she collapsed and died while playing in the
local pool due to Viral Myocarditis. A gaping
hole was left in our family and life will never
be the same. We will miss her mischievous
smile and her love every day for the rest of our
lives. Alayna is not here with us physically but
she will live on forever in our hearts. We will
love her always…..”Alayna Ladybug”
My little sister's an angel.
Each day she comforts me when I'm sad,
And calms me when I'm mad.
Alayna blows me kisses through the air,
When I am scared.
She laughs with me,
and we laugh as hard as can be.
But the best thing of all,
when I need a great big hug,
she sends me a ladybug.
By Kathryn Griffin (Alayna's sister)

BAILEY ANN OKUN
September 28, 1983 - January 31, 1997
“Always in our Hearts”
“In a beautiful blue lagoon on a clear day, a fine sailing ship spreads its
brilliant white canvas in a fresh morning breeze and sails out to the open sea.
We watch her glide away magnificently through the deep blue,
gradually seeing her grow smaller and smaller as she nears the horizon.
Finally, where the sea and sky meet, she slips silently from sight; and someone
near me says, ‘There, she is gone!’ Gone where? Gone from sight.. that is all.
She is still as large in mast and hull and sail, still just as able to bear her load.
And we can be sure that just as we say, ‘There, she is gone!’
Another says ‘There, she comes!’
Life is eternal and love is immortal; and death is only a horizon, and a
horizon is nothing but the limit of our sight.”

Abby’s Run For The Heart
When the leaves fall and change color
I’ll think of you
As the snowflakes cover the earth
I’ll remember you
When the birds sing and flowers bloom
I’ll hear you
In the hot summers, when things are dry
I’ll picture you
At night in bed, I’ll pray for you
At early dawn, I’ll wish for you
But every moment of every day
I’ll always love you

Love, Mima and Papa

STACI STEPHENS
Staci Stephens was a bright and beautiful high school student, who impacted the lives of so many of
her friends and peers. She always had a smile on her face. Staci passed away on March 13, 2005 from
Viral Myocarditis. Staci came home from school on Friday morning not feeling well and by Sunday morning her
heart had stopped. Everyone was devastated. No one ever got to say Goodbye to her.
In Staci’s 16 short years, she was a Timber Creek High School JV Cheerleader and ran track. She was an
honor student and a devout Christian. She kept several journals to record her thoughts and prayers.
Staci was very active in the Student Venture program, participated and led many Bible Studies, and was a
member of Journey Fellowship Church. She also played the clarinet, and the saxophone in Middle School,
and she was a Second Degree Black belt in Karate by the time she was 14 years old.
One of Staci’s final bible verses she wrote in her journal was Psalm 73:25-26 “Whom have I in Heaven but You?
And earth has nothing I desire but you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart
and portion forever.” This is exactly what happened. Staci’s heart and flesh failed but God is forever with her.
This was written 3 days before she passed away.

SHANNON MARIE FEDOR
JUNE 6, 1983 - JANUARY 18, 1999
Brunswick, Ohio
Shannon was a beautiful person. Her smile would light up a room, her gregarious laugh
would brighten your day and her gentale spirit would warm your soul. Shannon was truly a
blessing from God and we miss her deeply.
Shannon was 15 years old when she died suddenly of viral myocarditis. Her death has left
emptiness iin our hearts and our lives have been forever changed. Each day we strive to
understand this devastating disease. Our search for answers continues.
We are thankful to have been blessed with Shannon as our daughter. We will always be
grateful for the 15 years we had with her on this earth and we look forward to being reuinited
with her for all eternity.
“It is better to have loved and lost...
Then to never have loved at all.”
We love you Shannon...
Love,
Dad and Mom

On behalf of our entire family, we would like to thank you for your support of our
3rd annual Abby’s Run for the Heart. Our “labor of love” could not be so successful
without you—sponsors, donors, volunteers, and participants and we are truly grateful
for the overwhelming support we continue to receive from this community.
While we are often saddened when we hear stories of another child loss to this
disease, we remain optimistic as we hear of the progress that is being made by those
dedicated to studying the causes, prevention, and treatment of viral myocarditis
and sudden cardiac death. Our hope is that Abby’s Run will not only raise your
awareness of this tragic disease, but also inspire you to remain as committed as
we are to eradicating it.
We know that our efforts today will make a difference tomorrow and we appreciate
your help with this very important cause. We hope you have enjoyed Abby’s Run for
the Heart this year and we look forward to seeing you again next year. Thanks again!
