New York City's Sai de Silva posted several crying emojis. A GoFundMe page has been set up for Lauren's family by her co-workers, which has already raised over $131,000.
The fundraising page said: "This unimaginable loss is impossible to comprehend and the hole that Lauren has left in this world and in her own family, is an impossible one to ever fill.
"We are devastated for her beloved husband, Kevin, who must now unexpectedly take on the sole role of parenting their two children … Emma (3) and newborn Jackson, who is still in the NICU.
"That the day Lauren was so eagerly awaiting should end in tragedy is truly unfathomable." Anyone that knew Lauren was affected by her warm smile, kind heart and thoughtful, intuitive nature.
"She was the kind of person who could comfort you with a just a few words, because she always spoke from the heart. She was sincere, intentional and compassionate.
"But among her greatest qualities was the love she had for her family. It was no secret how close she was to her entire family or how excited she was when she got to start her own.
"From getting engaged to Kevin and then getting married to becoming a mother with Emma and next with Jackson, Lauren beamed whenever she talked about all that she had with her beautiful family."
The post concluded: "The devastating loss of Lauren is far-reaching and we all feel helpless in the wake of the grief. But we can come together now to help take care of the thing Lauren cherish beyond all else: her family."
In an update on Friday, Lauren's co-workers revealed baby Jackson has left the NICU and is at home with his dad Kevin and sister Emma, The Mirror reports.

Award-winning restaurant launches Scotland's first ever 'chippy breakfast'
The restaurant has launched the Pure Filth Breakfast, a messy morning feast served daily from 9am to 11.30am A bold new breakfast has landed in St Andrews, and it's not for the faint-hearted. Cromars, the award-winning fish and chip shop known for its legendary suppers, friendly staff and dog -friendly menu, has introduced a morning feast that more than lives up to its name: the Pure Filth Breakfast. Available daily from 9am to 11.30am, this gloriously messy meal is designed for early risers, hungover students and anyone in need of serious morning satisfaction. It all starts with a bed of golden hash brown bites, topped with a runny fried egg, gooey melted cheese and a selection of indulgent toppings, from smoked sausage bits and crispy bacon to veggie sausage, with your choice of sauces generously layered over the top. And if crawling out of bed seems too much, Cromars has you covered, the full breakfast can be delivered straight to your door via Deliveroo. No judgement, just Pure Filth and pure comfort food. Owner Wendy Napthine-Frame said: 'We've built our reputation on serving great-tasting food with a side of fun and banter. At Cromars, we don't take ourselves too seriously, but we do take our food seriously. Fresh fish, top-quality ingredients and flavour-packed dishes are what we're known for. "Our new 'Pure Filth Breakfast' is no exception, it's big, bold and gloriously indulgent. "A proper St Andrews chippy breakfast for locals, students, workers and visitors to St Andrews, really anyone who knows that sometimes only something outrageously filthy will hit the spot.' For those after something a little lighter, Cromars also serves classic breakfast rolls with bacon, sausage or veggie options. There's even a new 'Boost Your Breakfast Box' for £5.95, featuring creamy Greek yoghurt with chocolate granola and a Monster Mango Loco yoghurt shake, the perfect pick-me-up for more virtuous mornings. Founded in 2013, Cromars has grown into one of Scotland's best loved and most consistently praised chippies, known for its welcoming service and commitment to quality. Only angel-cut haddock from the North Sea is used, always cooked to order and sourced from trusted local suppliers. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

In 2023, Cromars was crowned 'Best Fish Supper on the East Coast of Scotland' at the Scottish Fish and Chip Awards. In 2024, it made history as the country's first ever canine-friendly chippy, complete with a dedicated dog menu, with 50 percent of proceeds donated to the Scottish SPCA. The passion for fish runs deep for Wendy, who grew up in Peterhead, the UK's largest fish landing port, surrounded by a family steeped in the industry. Whether working on boats or trading in markets, fishing has always been in her blood. Today, she's known for gifting friends and family not with wine or chocolates, but with a 'fry', a box of premium fish, hand-selected for its exceptional freshness and flavour.

The key Celtic appointment made by Brendan Rodgers who Shay Given rates highly
Premier League legend Given worked with him at Newcastle United His name is often mistaken for an A-list celebrity. And Shay Given joked his old pal Adam Sadler is going all Hollywood these days. The Celtic first-team coach - not to be confused with funnyman Adam Sandler - arrived at Parkhead in 2023 after spells with Newcastle, Manchester City and Leicester. Sadler was reunited with Brendan Rodgers at Lennoxtown, having previously worked alongside him at the King Power Stadium. But years earlier, he was Premier League legend Given's goalkeeping coach at St James' Park. And despite touching down in Glasgow for a rare visit, Given revealed he was blanked by the Geordie - although he insists the Hoops have a real gem behind the scenes. The Irishman laughed: "I know him well. I texted him today for a coffee, but he said he's moving, he's too busy for me! "He's gone all big-time now. Adam was my goalie coach at Newcastle so we go back a long way. "But even then, he wanted to do outfield coaching. He's a big Geordie and Brendan worked with him at Leicester. "I think he's brilliant with the lads, he has a nice way about him. Jovial at times but serious when he needs to be. "I think he's a brilliant coach and a great lad."

The Chase's Paul Sinha 'hands in notice' as contestants scoop £100k prize pot
Paul was defeated by the two quizzers who won a whopping £100k between them. The Chase's Paul Sinha"hands in notice" after quizzers won £100,000. The ITV show host Bradley Walsh joked that 'The Sinnerman' needed to quit his role as a Chaser after the blunder. Brad said that the Chaser has "handed his notice in" after an "unbelievable" final round that saw the quizzers victorious. Players Ian, Jennie, Gregor and Karen all appeared on the quiz panel with the hopes of bagging some cash in the final chase. First up to take on the chaser was Ian, a magician from London, who managed to secure £6,000 in the cash builder. He managed to make it back to the team and landed himself a place in the final. Jennie then tried her luck but was unfortunately caught and was sent home. Karen then felt brave and opted for the high offer of £93,000. Fans of the show took to social media to praise her for going for the biggest amount of money. One said: "Good girl!," while a second added: "Karen didn't even stutter taking that high offer." The gamble paid off as she managed to also get into the final with Ian, which meant they had the chance to win £100,000 between them. The two players managed to answer 16 questions correctly in the final chase before Paul tried to beat them. However, Paul wasn't able to beat them as he usually would, which meant they walked away with £50,000 each. There was only one second left on the clock as Bradley said: "That was close." The Chaser then praise Ian and Karen as he added: "You absolutely deserve every penny of that." Paul then said he was disappointed with himself as he joked: "I've cost ITV £100,000 but you don't need to care about any of that." It was then that Bradley quipped: "That's a funny way to hand in your notice." Ian and Karen then spoke about how they planned to spend their winnings. Karen said she wanted to treat her son by taking him to the Abu Dhabi Formula One Grand Prix while Ian said he wanted to splash out on a brand new car. Despite the hefty defeat, it was recently revealed that The Sinnerman is the most successful Chaser. Paul 'The Sinnerman' Sinha boasts a 78 percent win rate across his 436 appearances on The Chase. The quiz guru's average target to beat is 19 and he holds the highest average Chaser win total, raking in £14,651, making him the most financially successful chaser on the show. Meanwhile, Mark Labbett, better known as 'The Beast' has a 76 percent win rate over 475 episodes since his start in 2009. Labbett, who was the show's inaugural Chaser, holds the record for the highest average target to beat, at 20, and the highest accuracy in the final chase, answering 83% of questions correctly.
