Loving and missing you both everyday. Thank you for always being there when I need you. Tori you were and always will be like a sister to me. Dean Robert I miss you more and more each day you were the sweetest little guy, you reminded me so much of my brother when he was your age, almost like you were his little copy, I know you are taking care of your mommy up in heaven. I wish I could have done more but I know that there was nothing that I could have done to keep you both here. I love you both more than I could ever express.

I still can't believe I got to be your mom!!! Thanks Dean for the all the love, the dreams we had; at least we had them, for taking your mommy/my Tori Home. *that isn't rolling off my tongue

My heart breaks every time I think of Tori and her precious son Dean. I worked with Tori when I lived in San Diego, and she was the sweetest girl anyone can meet. I remember during her pregnancy, of the yummy taquiios that she had to have from the little Mexican stand near work. So we went almost every day. lol. I got a chance to meet Dean and see his precious face and I could see how much Tori adored Dean. My last memory of Tori was before she gave birth to Dean, we were sitting on the swing by my pool, watching my kids in the pool. She was afraid of not knowing how to be a good mom to Dean. I told her, you'll be a wonderful mom, I just know it. Seeing her with Dean during my last visit back to San Diego before I moved, proved it.

Tori and Dean Robert,
you are always always in my heart and on my mind, i love and miss you both dearly.
not a day goes by that i don't think about the two of you, Tori you were and always will be a sister to me, i love you more and more everyday, i always think about back when you worked at Tomatoes, you made my days working so much better, working with you was amazing, you were the best worker we could have ever asked for, you always did your job, you almost never had to give up on anything that you were working on, i loved seeing you all the time.
i miss you so much Dean, you were only in my life for a very short amount of time, but when i first met you i fell in love with you, you were so amazing that day that you came over to my house, i always wish that i could have seen you more, i think about you and mommy all the time. i miss seeing that smile on your face, that smile that you had when my brother saw you for the first time was the best feeling for me.
i miss you both so much.
love you both so much.

Hi guys it's auntie Cori. It has been awhile since I have written and I want you to know that I think of you even more today especially when Grandpa Orin died and I prayed that he would be seeing you real soon. In grief one tends to think about every one they lost and so it goes. I bet you are so proud of your mom today, she has been very busy in honoring your lives! I love you Tori and Dean...

Dear Tori, I miss you and shall miss you for a long time to come. You took care of me as much as i took care of you. There will always be room in my heart for you. Out of ao many people we know in our lives the ones that count are the ones who truly stick around and do not judge. Friends can come and go and real ones last a lifetime. I might not have saved you and Dean but i would have if i could have. I am blessed to have known you both in the short 2 years. And even more blessed that you let me be a part of Dean's life. Your trust in me as a baysitter meant the world to me. It is the test of trust and guidance that you give to your childs care. I know I love my own son as much and he use to stay with Daniel and Neal as well. Our times together are cherished memories that i will always have and to you i thank. my love and prayers to oyu Tor always...
Dear Dean, I will always remember the day you were first born and the tuesdays I would sit with your mom while she was in bed rest. The things we would discuss about babies and boys. She truly loved you before you were born. She is with you now and will always protect you. We had alot of fun on the walks and the visits you would go with Zack and i to his taekwondo events, the shopping and the eating at trophy's. Yoe loved being in your walker and rolling on the floor. Take care of mom for me k. Love Bj

Thank you for trusting me and sharing your pregnancy and Dean with me. You are truly the two sweetest angels. I don't really know how to be much of a friend but you taught me so much about living and not giving up I THANK YOU TRULY ALWAYS...........Take care of your parents and family my prayers are with you all k.

Hey Tor,
So the other day I was shopping just thinking about all the differnt things we always used to talk about and every time I turned around there was something else that I was like Tor so would have loved that or that would have been so cute fof Dean. God I miss you guys.
Why is it that I can still remember that awfull day like it was yesterday. That day is still so vivid in my mind and the days following it are not much better.
Every day I wish that it is just a nightmare that I haven't woken up from.

MISS YOU TODAY, BAD

Tori was my best friend in middle school and some of high school. We were inseparable buddies, on and off the softball field. One year, on a softball trip to play in a Vegas tournament, Tori and I visited the famous Coca-Cola factory. We took a picture, the two of us sitting on the enormous Coke Bear. It was around Christmas time & we swore to eachother we were going to turn that picture into a Christmas card & just send it to all of our friends & family! We didn't care that MOST CHRISTMAS CARDS include "family pictures"-- we thought it would be the coolest thing in the world at the time, besides we were like family!! Sounds like an insignificant story to some, but it shows the true loyalty that Tori had. Tori & I grew apart a little while discoving "high school life" in different ways. I went off to college & came back to San Diego to begin my teaching career, when I saw Tori driving one day! We realized we were driving next to eachother & with dropped jaws were trying to exchange numbers like crazy when the light turned green! I guess we didn't want to stop traffic, but knew we would get in contact somehow later on! Months later, I heard of her murder & the murder of her son. I was enraged, sad, distraut, a mix of emotions. This awesome, compassionate, honest, and extrememly loyal childhood friend of mine was dead???? How can that be??? She never wronged others. She didn't and doesn't deserve this! My deepest regrets go to Dayna (a second MOM to me during the time Tori and I were inseparable & when I was coping with the death of my handicapped little sister) and Roy (her dad and sideline coach always pushing us to do our best). So as the holidays come & everyone remembers family, I will remember the great effect that Tori & her family had on my life. In memory of Tori and Dean, her beautiful son who I never got the privledge of meeting. This story needs to be spread and I am willing to do anything in my power to help this cause! To Dayna and Roy, I pray for you often, you're in my heart! Much love, Denise Ferris

OH how we miss you here. There is not a day that has gone by since July 26 2006 that you have not been on my mind. I miss that great big smile and joyful laugh. along with all the slobber....
Give Mommies a great big hug and we will be looking up at the stars and the great big moon tonight thinking of you both.
I LOVE YOU!!
PS Do you like the Dinos I left for you. I had fun playing with them ~wishing I could just lay down on the grass and have you by myside...

Happy Birthday My Angel Baby Boy. I cannot say how much you are missed & loved because words are sometimes so inadequate. We were all so madly in love with you, and the very fact that you are not with us today as we celebrate what would have been our little man's 2nd birthday. Your grandpa is sending you a huge hug and a kiss and he asks that you give one to your mommy too for him as do I.
we will forever be grateful that God sent us an Angel to love, and I am not afraid to say we were not ready to give you up when he called you & mommy home, but you can tell him for us that we heard him loud and clear. In your short 10-months on earth, & your mommy's short 22 years here, the two of you have left your footprints all over the planet, you have not been forgotten, and what happened to you both will never be forgotten. You 2 rocked this world to its very core, leaving behind devastation and heartbreak to everyone who has ever heard what happened. No one will ever look at the world the same, maybe we were not meant to. My Angel baby boy, I love you to pieces, and I miss you beyond reason. I hope the Angels are throwing you the biggest party ever, and I will picture you in the loving arms of Jesus, the Angels, but most of all in your mothers loving arms as she rocks you to sleep. All our love my boy, Happy Birthday Angel Baby Dean!!!

Dear
deanie,
I don't know if i have to written to yet. But it's truly very hard
for me to accept what has happend to you. I have my own reasons for not being
able to accept this. And they are personal but i am working through them now.
I just couln't do it before i was too lost. For that i ask your forgivenes
and strength. My ability to comprehend what had happend to you was my own
greif for your untimely departure here on earth. I do so believe you are inn
heaven wtih mommy and that you both share your lives with God and all his
angels. my prayers are filled with you and mommy and your family left behind.
I want you to know that you are horribly missed by all here. You were a treasure
for everyone who knew you. I thank your mommy for trusting me to be your
babysitter and her friend. Watch over mommy and keep giggling.
Love you

But you both are always in my thoughts and so close to my heart. There hasn't been a day I haven't missed you. Keep a close eye on Dean he's probably running all around by now. I wish I could have one more conversation with you there is so much left unsaid. One more lunch with you. One more time to hear your voice and laughter. My love to you both always.

hey tor,
so i was so happy to see that they made you a myspace page, now people can see the real you. and myspace gets the word out & hopefully we can get the person responsible. I have to tell you as soon as dez told me about the page i got on and made some calls & you should be to like jersey by now.
On another note I know you know how much we all miss you two and you know that for some of us the days barely end or begin its mostly like a nitemare that we haven't woken up from, tor I miss you sooooo much and I wish that i would have ditched class to spend more time with you two. by for now i'll see ya later.

Hey Tori, just wanted to say hello and i miss you. think about you and your baby boy everyday. we are just in a waiting game now, six months and counting. i read the other entires and they always make me cry, knowing how much everyone loves and misses you both, guess i should quit reading them at work people are gonna think i'm werid :) too late right. so i was going through a bunch of stuff the other day and found some many old pictures from our old apartment, and from tomatoes. i cant believe your really gone, i wish we could go back. i wish our babies could grow up together. you are truly a wonderful friend, i miss you.

Hi Sis, hope things are great up there. Although I wish you where able to be by our side and we could enjoy your company I'm glad that a lot of your pain and suffering has ceased. I may not have a clue what heaven is like but I'm sure your just fine there along with beautiful baby Dean. I want you to know that I always think of both of you and I've yet to recieve a visit so if you can find your way over I would really enjoy it. Love and miss you both.

Tor
This is so frustrating. Me trying to share with you and these people not putting my letters on. If I knew they wouldn't then I would print them so that I may save them. They need to understand that this is our reaching out to you both. All that aside.
My Tor I miss you both so much. I'm trying to work through it to my best abiity. I want to thank you for being my friend and gracing me with your friendship for the time on earth that we did have. But we will always be friends forever, we are sisters. Deanie baby keep smiling and giggling, and chasing mommy around. You both have left many pieces of yourselves here to share and we're only finding them a little at a time. THANKYOU.../././
Memories are treasures and I am thankful I get to have so many.

Hi Tor and Deanie,
There are no words to express how I feel. I thought that maybe in time that they would come to me, but they have'nt. I just couldn't write to you yesterday it was too painful. I had so many emotions and feelings all day. I have been to the cemetary almost everyday this week. It looks so beautiful everyone has left decorations and flowers. I can't bear for it to be undecorated for you both. It means a great deal to me that it's not left empty and deserted looking. The last 6 mos. have been the absolute worst of my life and you know thats saying something. I don't even know where to begin most days. I have to go through the whole realization process everyday and that hurts so much. I miss you so very much each and everyday. I do alot of searching but I have'nt found the right path yet. I'm working on it everday. I have realized you were a door for me, that you opened wide and came right in. I'm forever grateful to know that there are some people out there that are worth knowing and being close too. Thanks to you I have found some.I don't know if you knew before all this how much you and Deanie baby were a part of my family in my heart. You are my little sis and we were each others confidante, I MISS THAT.... I want to thank you for sharing your mom with me and your family. Your mom gives me so much strength and courage to believe in myself. You were right she is a great person. I have taken her and become very close. When I sat down here tonight I had planned to write all about my feelings but last time they didn't print it.so I changed tactics midstream. I hope that you both can see us down here and see how much your loved and missed everyday. You are n ot alone Tor we're all still here and we're not going anywhere, not ever. Please see that and know with every part of your soul, that you both will be remebered with great happiness and joy and many memories. All the laughter in good times and the tears in bad times. All the plans and dreams for our lives we shared with each other. The encouragement and guidance we bestowed on each other. The many times we listened and shared our pains and triumphs. You both will be forever engraved in my heart. I will miss you forever little sister and baby boy. Keep sending us your angels. We're watching for them always. LOVE Bj

Our baby girl & baby boy,
Oh how we miss you both. Six months & here we are, still waiting. It’s so hard just getting up & going through the motions. Another day without you two here is how every morning starts, followed by the gut wrenching realization of why you are gone. I keep asking myself, when I will get it through my head you are not coming back, that this is our reality now. I am told (and you know how much I like to be told) that I don’t want to accept this reality; I don’t want to start the journey through grief!
What insight! No I don’t want to accept this, no we don’t want to walk the walk, and no we don’t want this reality. We want our babies back, & life to be beautiful again. But that isn’t going to happen. So we wait, & wait, & cry & cry. For we have never known a pain like this, never known life to be so gray in color, & never know from day to day what new horror’s will we be faced with now.
On the eve of the 6 months mark, when all we wanted to do was cry, the most incredible gift came to us. I know you made it possible my baby girl, because only you could have known. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Over 1000 photos of you, letters from you, your poetry (amazing by the way), the love we shared was all right there for us to look at, to touch, to read, to cry. But those tears were so beautiful, like the person who brought them out of us. I thought I had lost all of these items, & yet there they were last night.
Thank you. I know you know Tor, that I am a little leery of you having control up there, you like it too much seeing us dance when you say dance! But I know your heart as well as I know mine, & I know that you ache for all of us left behind, & you wouldn’t be Tor if you didn’t add a little spice of your own to the mix, so we don’t forget you.
Impossible to forget either of you, impossible. You are forever the loves of our lives, the holes in our hearts, & the reason we continue our fight.
We love you & miss you both more than words could ever say.
