Not a day goes by where I don't think of you or touch your beautiful photo with the same thoughts and questions going through my head..what if, why...Although our questions remain unanswered,one question that can be easily answered is will your family ever be the same? Never. We love and miss you.

This is to Victoria's friends and family = I pray for you all, and I am not religious. It's the only words I can think of to say, because what can be said. I mean it, it's just so awful. Everyone has a story of lost loved ones. I have pain every day, I wish I could say it gets easier, but you will find out that the more life goes on, the more you will feel "they" miss. I desperately hope that there is an after life, that your daughter, my Dad, are looking down and at least being able to observe and feel our eternal love for them. That thought makes the heavy heart feel better. Really life is never long enough, never enough time. Please use the time wisely and don't let the grief rule your life. My love was my Auntie Helen, she was so great, and my friend despite a 30 year difference she died of Cancer and it literally took my family over, her husband died 14 days later of liver cancer, no one including him, knew he was sick. It has been 12 years and we still can't get over it.

Hey Miss Torri,
How are you doing? We all miss you so much. We were all talking yesterday and thought about how your Birthday is coming up in March and how you would be 17....Wow....We will always remember you as young and sooo pretty......It will be a hard day for us all but we know you will be looking down on all of us and helping us once again get through another tough day....I am sure the Angels are planning a large party for you.......Things are still hard for us all,your Dad misses you soooooooo much and we can only help him get through these tough days.....We know someday we will all be together again.Just wanted to say hi and hope all is well in heaven.....Talk to you soon...
Love Aunt Rhonda xoxo PS Today is cousin Billy's 25th Birthday....

January 16, 2007

Torri. It's Tuesday the 16th. I am sending my love to your Mom and Dad and really to your whole family for all the thousands of things they wanted to give you--but couldn't--these past 8 months: things like christmas gifts, rides to school, spending money for dunkins and boston, some hugs, some kisses, some advice, hours in the car as you practised, and then a proud nod as you smiled for your registry picture...
so missed, so loved you were in life. and are now too. I hope you are having fun up in heaven.

January 16, 2007

Dear Torri,
You were in my thoughts all day today. I was thinking of you and at that split second I opened the door to a pizza place and heard Aerosmith playing one of your favorites. Eight months have passed since you left this world for another and our family was broken. We love and miss you so much. Please watch over the family, especially your Dad and Mom.

Love Auntie Raine, Gary, Billy and Lindsey.

Hey Torri,
Hope you had a great New Years ,i am sure you sang and danced the night away...or you shared your musical talent with all your new friends in heaven...We miss you and we will always have those great memories of you that we will hold in our hearts forever.Happy New Year Sweet angel.Watch over your Dad okay,he needs some kind of peace in his life and i think only you can give that to him.Starting a New Year without you is just so hard for him.He needs some sign from you Torri,so anything you can do to ease the pain for him would help so much.If we could see him smile just once it would meen more to us than you will ever know. Almost 8 months without a smile is just so hard for all of us.We know you will do your best.....Nobody should ever have to endure this pain,it;s just not fair..
Love

December 27, 2006

Dearest Tor,
I woke up Christmas at Gram and Grandfathers and you were the first thing on my mind. Thinking of all of our holiday's and you and LoLo running upstairs to watch a movie or go online. Although the house was full it was so empty and you could see it in everyones faces. The biggest gift you can give to us is to watch over Mom and Dad and pray that each day will give them a few moments peace. Keep sending them signs. We love you.

hey Torri, I just thought i would say hi, and let you know that everyone in school misses you so much! Laura and Dan and Chelsea are always talking about you, and its really tough on them. i feel like this whole 7 months has been one long nightmare, that i need someone to wake me from.. I keep replaying a video of skatetown, and all you say is "hey girlfriend" but at the same time, your saying so much more.... everyone loves you so much, and please watch over your entire family- aunts, uncles, grandparents, and mostly your parents- i can only imagine that this is a very hard time for them.... let us all know that you're watching down on us...
I love you
Merry almost Christmas girlfriend!

Miss you and all of us being together at Gram's and Grandfather's. It is especially hard with you gone and Uncle T and I so far away, we are all out of sorts. While it is far from a Happy Day for any of us, we are forever thankful to your Mom and Dad for bringing you into our lives. Comfort them in some way to ease their tremendous pain.
Love.

We all miss you very much and it is very hard on us all during the Holiday Season..Watch over your Mom and Dad during these hard times.Send them a sign you are doing well....When we said grace today,you were in our prayers...Watch over cousin Elise,she is having a hard time today without you here...We Love and Miss You..
Aunt Rhonda xoxox

November 22, 2006

Hey Tor,

Thinking of you during the holiday week. Remembering you being soooooo pickey eating - a plate of turkey and some mashed potatoes....."you want some vegetables Torri"; "no thanks uncle T"....Then when dessert was served you always seemed to like to try a little bit of everything.....I am sure that you are watching over your mom and dad this year who, although it seems like they have nothing to be thankful for,need your love and signs wherever you are. Like many people, you forget about what you really should be thankful for because often one takes it for granted; when it is no longer there the void and hollow "what if's" and "should haves" come crashing down. Watch over your folks and send them a dream or two that you are thinking of them.

Love,

Uncle T

It's Aunt Rhonda,was just thinking of you and listening to your music...It's great.We all miss you so much but we know how much God needed you with him. You are missed not only by your family but by every person who ever knew you and there were so many....Funny how you just pop into my mind. I could be just driving or cleaning the house or just watching TV!!! We talk of you often and think of you everyday.. I was looking through old photos of you when you were little... Christmas,Easter,Holidays and Birthday's and i noticed you always had that same grin on your face, like you were up to something... It made me laugh because i am sure you were! That grin will always stay with me because our sense of humors were so alike...Now you grin with the angels and i bet you have them laughing up a storm!!!!!!!

My son was a student at SSCPS for just two years. I remember the day of Torri's passing like it was yesterday. I sat outside waiting for my son and saw that something was not right. A boy was crying uncontrolably while talking on a cell phone in the school parking lot. He kept shouting "no, no, no. Soon after Mike (Head of school) came out and and went right to the boy. I sat there feeling something happened that was terrible. I thought to myself, someone close to him must have passed away just by the way he was reacting. Then I would stop myself and say "no one would deliver such a message over the phone." When my son got into the car, I asked him if knew why this boy would be crying. He did not. I thought about this all afternoon. I recieved a recorded message from Mike (head of school) later that evening. The message said a student had passed away today. I then knew that is why the boy was crying. It was not until the next day that I found out it was Torri. Although, I did not know her well at all, however, I do recall the one and only conversation I had with her. It was about a photo I had seen. I asked her if she was the girl who was pictured on the school web site. Hair was long and and now it was short. She said it was her but, she did not like that picture, she liked shorter hair better. I told her she was very beautiful and that should could be a model. I know my conversation with Torri was short but, having that exchange of words with her made me cry when I finally realized it was Torri, the young lady, so delicate in frame and bright eyed that I once spoke to. Rest in peace Torri. Sometimes the simplest things can mean so much. Lucy, Torri was a very beautiful girl and after looking through the website in her memory, I can see that you and her were very close. My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your entire family.

your laugh....

Sending my love to your mom and dad.

REST IN PEACE TORRI.....you truly are an ANGEL :~)



I would like to say that I am so sorry for you loss she was beautiful. There are no words right now that are going to make you feel better. There is nothing that you want more except for having your precious Torri back with you in your arms to hold and squeeze even if it is only for one last time. It may not seem like it will get better, but it does. The light at the end of the tunnel will shine thru and it will be Torri helping you. She is now watching out for you like you once did for her. Keep your head held high and make her proud that you can keep letting her live on thru and your family. God bless you Lucy and Donnie and the entire Wightman family my prayers are with you thru this most diffucult time.



God Bless You Torri......



Make Damn Sure you take care of her up there!!!!!

We will see you on the flip side!!!

Torri, theres not a day that goes by that i don't think of you. Even though we weren't the closest of friends, you were one of those people who was sorta friends with everyone and touched everyone in some way. The day that i heard the news, i sat in my room and just kept watching the video of us at skatetown, where you roll by me, happy as ever, and look back and yell 'sup girlfriend!' and to this day, i'm still waiting to hear you say that! you will never know how much you are and will be missed. but even now, its not goodbye, its see you later... so see you later Torri. I love You

I didn't know Torri personally, but many of my friends did...I wish I got the chance to meet her, I can't tell you how much empathy I feel for you right now...I never met her, but I love her and I know I'll see her someday. May God bless you

lucy,

The pain you are feeling takes my breath away. I remember how sweet and affectionate you were with little Torri at the graduate school soirees at Martha's house--big bear hugs and loving eyes and later how proudly you spoke of her recent achievements. She was an exceptionally adorable child and a beautiful, intelligent young lady.



It was so difficult to see you at the wake of your only blessed child. There is nothing like a mother's love; the energy in the room reflected Torri's life--love, beauty, and support...and that heavenly rainbow which i tried to capture in a photo...Torri is your angel forever! Please know that I am here for you.



with love & deepest sympathy,

sherrie

Donnie and Lucy.

I have no words except to say that here in London I am thinking of you at this time. I remember Tori as a sweet, kind, friendly girl, who was always smiling. I know her smile with live on in everyone's hearts.

Today Adam, Derek and Chelsea met me where you died. The town of Plympton sends a cruiser out when your friends go, just to make sure they are ok. They light it up at night and don't mind if you stay long. This police officer, Officer Reddy, his father worked out of District 11 in Boston and is retired, stood there for three hours today. he kept staring at the place you left us, kept looking away as if to shake it away. He took your friends aside Torri, just to tell them, you felt no pain, no fear. Officer Reddy was there within minutes and you had already gone. He remembers the other girls too and I wish you could erase the memories for him Torri.

This morning I saw a butterfly,

at sunset a rainbow, at night I saw a star. Were they you Torri? were they you? The butterfly was free, the rainbow illuminated the sky, the star flickered around until she found her special place with the others.

Love,

Gramie
