Deepest Sympathies to the family of Loree. I had the pleasure of meeting Loree while she resided in Chesapeake.
Finding the right words when such a tragedy occurs is really difficult. Perhaps one day we will understand why but until then find comfort in the Lord. Loree will be missed.

Lorraine and Family,
I'm sorry to hear of your loss. Loree was a kind and sweet person, when I heard of her passing I thought back to the days when we used to play at your mothers house and she acted like she was older than we were, those were the good days. I will always cherish those memories of her. Remember that "Earth has no Sorrow that Heaven cannot heal" and God makes no mistakes. You and your Family are in Our Prayers.
