Terrie & Nikki - Gosh what to say, I will keep you and your family in my prayers. I never even knew Loren was sick. I remember the last time we were all together it's been a while. James's wedding in 2004. Got you three on video having so much fun. She was a sweetheart and I'm proud to have known her. God Bless You during this very difficult time and always...Sharon Smith

To the family and friends of Loren:

Even thought we knew her briefly, Loren touched our hearts so deeply
But a part of her remains to help us with the grieving

Loren’s sheer determination will guide us through this pain
May the sparkle of her eyes, help to light the way
May the warmth of her smile, embrace us when we’re cold
May her strength, when we are waning, help to make us bold
May the sound of her laughter, fill our heart with song
And know if we stay sad, she would think us wrong

Yes her life on earth was brief, like a rainbow in the sky
Brilliant, bright and colorful, gone in the blink of an eye
May we know the peace and comfort, Loren’s memory imparts
No, Loren is not gone, she lives within our hearts

Forever young
Forever Loren

May we all find comfort in her memories.

To the Family of Loren,
Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of Loren. I would always visit Loren on Sunday afternoons at Chili's. We would talk about so many different things. She was such a sweet, vibrant person who always brought a smile to my face.
She was a strong woman and always looked at the silver lining around a gray cloud.
Loren will always remain in our hearts and in our minds. She will be missed and will always be remembered with fond memories.
Know that Loren is looking down on all of us with that beautiful smile of hers. God Bless
