My condolences to the family of Lorrie. We graduated from Keveny together in 1963 and worked on many committees together along the way. I only recently (last week) even heard that she had been ill but I want you to know that she was always thought of very highly. We were all made better by having known her. Nancy Ryan Cook

I very much enjoyed visiting with Lorrie over the past year. She had a very deep faith and was hopeful even as she struggled physically. She and I held hands and prayed together at every visit. May she now rest in peace.

Dear Jimmy
In the 18 years I worked with your MOM it was always very clear you were her light & her life. I hadn't spoken to her since her early retirement. And the strangest thing- during Mass just last Saturday her smiling face came into my thoughts & I promised myself I'd call her over the holidays. I sincerely hope she didn't suffer. She was a very special lady now in a very special place.
