Not sure what to say?

I´ve never forgotten the positive impact that you and Bob Taber had on me "and countless others."

How lovely to be reminded to think of Lorelle. She was special.

What a bright flame you were Rellie! We met in 72, became best friends. You were at the birth of my daughter, your goddaughter and we had planned to end our days rocking on the front porch.
Belated farewell.

Lorelle and I met in 1968 when we were freshmen at UC Santa Barbara. The Vietnam War was raging. We both were confused and deeply saddened as our fellow students were drafted; so many never returned.

Rest in peace Sweet Lady,
Craig

Lorelle was a shinning star who shared her strength and hope with hundreds of men and woman. I met Lorelle and Bob Taber in 1987 and they changed my life forever and for better. Lorelle was definitely and strong person but she was also so kind to people who were struggling. I will never forget her.

Maybe this might be an opportunity to review Browning's vast amount of scholarship in peer-reviewed journals, or alternatively the monographs she had written for academic presses. After all she was a true scholar. Let's net forget the high esteem she was held by leading Shakespeare and Asian scholars, or by the fact that her work was referenced by so many other academics. Anybody, who wishes to see the cultural sensitivity of Browning at work need only see the documentary 'Dream in Hanoi'....

What a force was Dr. Lorelle Browning. She influenced our lives and I had the deep pleasure of sharing her company while attempting to define the effect of war on community and family.
