Delores "Lorie" O'Neal

Hello to all of the O'Neal family members. Lorie was like a second mom to me when I was growing up in Quincy. She was a loving, kind and special lady and will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

My deepest sympathies go out to "Pat, Mike, Tim, and Danny" (whatever you might be called now, you will always stair-step that way in my memory). Aunt Lorie was a powerful presence in her sweet way--when I was a tiny child, I literally thought she was an angel. I see her in my mind's eye surrounded by galloping, rollicking boys, who she--with my Uncle Bob--raised to be delightful, interesting men. She was quick to laugh and always made us children feel fine just the way we were. Good journey,...

I have so many fond memories of summertime visits to Quincy. Aunt Lorie always seemed to spread sunshine on every occasion. I always felt a special bond with her as she was my Godmother. She always went out of her way to remember me at Christmas and birthdays. I am sad that my husband and daughter never had a chance to meet her, but I have spoken of her often throughout the years and all our thoughts and prayers are with the O'Neals and extended family.

I have loved Lorie even before she and Bob were dating.
She was always loving and I'm proud to say she
is my sister-- not just in-law. My prayers are with her
loving family whom she taught well. I send my love to
one and all.

I would like to express my heatfelt condolances to all my Cousins and their famiies.. Although I didn't see Aunt Lorie for many many years I never forgot what wonderful fun I always had with her when visiting in Quincy as a child. She was so funny and sweet and I loved our visits with all the family.
She and the family are in my prayers, and my thoughts.
