Boy this is hard. It sucks to be at work trying to fill one of these out.

Well, I wish I had seen Aunt Laurie more often than I had of late...I missed her terribly. She was always so supportive...never judged me, didn't have to understand my decisions or actions to love me anyway. And at one point in my life, that was so hard to find. I remember those cookies too, Laura... HUGE chocolate chip cookies. And greasy grilled cheese (heart attack waiting to happen, but so damn good...)

We used to work on her garden together at Pop and Nana's. That is why she used to call me Petunia.

Ah...

I love you, Aunt Laurie...More than I could possibly express. I miss you ... have fun up there though. Say "yo" to the Big Man for me.

Your Petunia,

Jen

To My Best Friend for many many years. We had our ups and we had our downs, sometimes we would dance all night long or drive to NYC, or we would just stay up all night and talk about everthing from Who is God and how to know Him better to what should we wear or do. We had great adventures and learned alot about who we were-or thought we were. We had kicknames for each other all these years and when we wrote or talked we still used them. There is a very empty spot in my heart(named Laurie) and I will miss you much until I see you again.. P.S. put in a good word for me....Hugs and Kisses Joanne(tree)

To family and friends of Lori:

May the God of all comfort give you

grace and strength as you mourn the

homegoing of Lori. Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be

comforted. God did not leave us comfortless. He sent us the Comforter (the Holy Spirit) for such a time as this. God is real and He really loves all of you.

To Dorothy, Family & Friends, In Loving Memory of Lori:

To my dearest family, some things I’d like to say.

First of all to let you know that I arrived okay.

I am writing this from heaven where I dwell with God above

Where there’s no more tears or sadness, there is just eternal love.

Please don’t be unhappy just because I’m out of sight.

Remember that I am with you every morning, noon, and night.

That day I had to leave you, when my life on earth was through,

God picked me up and hugged me and He said “I welcome you.

It’s good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone,

For your dearest family, they will be here later on.

I need you here so badly as part of my big plan,

There is so much that we have to do to help our mortal man.

Then God gave me a list of things he wished for me to do.

And most on that list of mine is to watch and care for you.

And I will be beside you every day and week and year.

And when you’re sad, I am standing there to wipe away the tear.

And when you lie in bed at night, the days chores put to flight.

God and I are closest to you in the middle of the night.

When I think of my life on earth and all those loving years,

Because you’re only human, they are bound to bring you some tears.

Please do not be afraid to cry, it does relieve the pain.

Remember there would be no flowers unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you of all that God has planned.

But if I were to tell you, you wouldn’t understand.

But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over.

I am closer to you now that I ever was before.

And to my very many friends, trust that God knows what’s best.

I’m still not far away from you, I am just beyond the crest.

There are rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb.

But together we can do it taking one day at a time.

It was always my philosophy and I’d like it for you, too.

That as you give unto the world, so the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who’s in sorrow or in pain,

Then you can say to God at night, “My day was not in vain.

And now I am contented that my life it was worthwhile,

Knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.”

So if you meet somebody who is down and feeling low,

Just lend a hand to pick him up as on your way you go.

When you are walking down the street and you’ve got me on your mind,

I am walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when you feel that gentle breeze or the wind upon your face,

That’s me giving you a great big hug or just a soft embrace.

And when it’s time for you to go from that body to be free,

Remember you are not going, you are coming here to me.

And I will always love you from that land up above,

We’ll be in touch again soon. P.S. God sends His love.

I remember when I used to wake up every morning to find the smell of Aunt Laurie's coffee and how we always used to make our chocolate chip cookies. She always yelled at me for growing taller than her. haha. She was a great aunt who had a lot of love and patience and I was blessed to spend as much time as I have with her. (Although I wish I could have seen her more)

Rest in Peace Aunt Laurie

To My Sister, My friend, even though we didn't always agree, I love you and I miss you terribly. But I know we will see each other again in heaven...Tell Mom and Pop we all said "HI"

Love your little sis,

Dorothy

To my brothers and sister, I love you guys.

To all of Lori's family -- my deepest sympathy.

I've thought of her often over the years and always hoped that our paths would cross at some point. We had wonderful times growing up on 23rd street. It would have been nice to get together again.

Lori, I wish you peace and happiness.

Love,

Googie

What can I say! Although I haven't seen Lori, Laurie, Lorrie, depended on what year it was on how she decided to spell her name, I have great memories of her growing up on East 23rd Street. It seems like yesterday that we were taking the Flatbush Ave bus to Bishop McDonnells. It is special when you grow up with a cousin who also turns out to be a great friend.....everyone should be as lucky. You all have my sympathies and prayers to get you through this hard time.
