Grove of 100 Trees

Tory was truly a living angel on this planet. I am so grateful for her friendship. And so sad because she is gone and can’t imagine another human being like her. Love you Tory.

I just learned today that Tori passed away.
My heart is broken.

Tori was my roommate at NMH in Gould Hall. She and I would make each other laugh so hard no sound would come out. She was one of the funniest and kindest people I know. We would get into mischief together and just laugh about whatever shinanigans we had come up with that week.

She was one of the hardest working people I was around, and she made me work harder. She supported me when things got...

Cluster of 50 Memorial Trees

Today, I learned that my dear friend Tory passed away. I am heartbroken. I am devastated... for so many reasons.

I loved Tory. Tory made me laugh until my belly hurt. She welcomed me from my first days at Tufts University, and we spent years sharing stories, going on adventures, getting into mischief, and being friends throughout life's unexpectedly twists and turns.

Apple Picking in Maine

It's a hard loss to take. I met Tory her senior year at NMH. We kept in touch over the years, visiting every so often in MA, cooking and putting up food or here in Maine, picking apples and making applesauce. She gave massages to Kath and I the morning of our wedding in 1997 and led a small choir singing Dona Nobis Pacem at the ceremony. She shared stories of her mother, who had died many years ago. She had a lovely home in Rockport MA in the last few years and I got to visit her there a few...

Hugs, Kisses & Tears to Tori's family. I met Tori at the Spaulding Rehab. in Charlestown after she lost her leg. We became instant friends. The thought of Tori leaving us saddens me. I will miss her dearly. Until we meet again my dear friend - may you run freely thru the fields of wild flowers with the sun shining upon your face.

I’m so sorry to hear of Victorias passing. I did not know her very well but was always struck by her radiant smile and presence. I remember her that way. I send my condolences to her family. Abby Trask Abbott.
