Kim and Brett,I have trouble finding words to tell you how heartbroken I am to loose Lenore. From the days in Jr High school on to all the crazy adventures that Lenore,Kate, and I shared from Colorado to New England..She was the friend that no matter how long we hadn't seen each other,it was like we had never been apart. I am so sad to know I will never hear her beautiful voice again. My love thoughts and prayers go out to you both.

So sad to hear the news of Lenore's sudden passing. She was genuine and she knew exactly what to say, the advice to give and what book to recommend. I could spend all day reading the sayings posted on her cabinets. We shared a love of the outdoors, horses, dogs and pretty much any animal as well as the love of gardening and beautiful art. Of course later when we both had our children that became the focus of our lives. I am thankful for the many times we shared and wonderful memories to hold onto. She was always willing to listen and share her expertise usually in a humorous way depending on the situation. I learned so much from her. She was passionate and knowledgeable in so many areas and gave so much of her time to those in need. She was a loving, supportive wife, devoted mother who loved Brett more than anything in this world, and a true animal whisperer. Lenore, I'll see you again in Heaven one day and I hope we get to walk all our beautiful dogs together or go for a horseback ride on a beautiful endless trail to nowhere. Sadly, we grew apart over the years and it is what I regret the most. Time has a way of slipping away and then before you know it, it is too late. Praying for Lenore's family, Jim and Brett for comfort and peace during this sad time.By the way, Happy Belated Birthday Brett!

I would love to see some pictures of Lenore and her friends-the silly and interesting. I may order a print book if I can get enough.
For those I had to call there was no doubt how many lives she touched.

I'm extremely saddened to hear of Lenore's passing. She's been a massage client of mine for years and in that time she's besome so much more than that. She was a true friend and mentor. She will be so very missed. My heart goes out to her Husband, Son and her family.
