Dear Lori, apparently it's been about 10 years since you passed. You were a sweet friend of mine in high school. We shared laughs and you shared Monkees tapes with me - I think I still have them. I had a dream about you last night, out of the blue. I was at an indoor music concert that had just ended, and I walked around the back of the auditorium to look for you. I saw your platinum blond hair (the cute bob you had in high school) and I went over and said omg hello! You broke out in a gigantic grin and said Hey how did you know I was here? I said, Well, I knew Sue and Mish were coming, so I figured you would be too! You beamed, looking so happy and healthy. Then we proceeded to go out to dinner together. Fade out.
When I woke up from my dream and reality dawned, my breath caught in my throat. We lost touch after college, I'm sorry to say, but I remember you so fondly, love and miss you. Xoxo
"Sometime in the morning
You'll just reach out and she will be there,
Close as the summer air."

Good Morning Baby
WE are shrouded in fog in Green Bay this morning. This week I am attending Mass and an hour of reflection following. The priest giving this is wonderful and makes us smile. I pray every day I can come to terms with your loss( I don't think I ever will fully). Miss hanging out with you on the phone every day. Knowing you are not in pain gives me a sense of relief.
Until we meet again---I love you.

Hello sweet friend.
I have been thinking so strongly of you lately. I wish I had you here with me to give me some advise. I sometimes wonder if you are sitting back watching me and sending little vibes to steer me in the right direction. Life sure is difficult. Each time I come to this page....I see your pictures and it brings back that memory that I have of you sitting there at the Holiday Inn in Charlotte holding our little Chloe tight in your arms. I really miss you dear friend but I know you are in a much better place than I am here.
Until I see you again.....I'm sending you lots of love.
Your bunny friend, Linda Lou
March 1, 2010
It is the first day of March, hopefully with spring around the corner it will be sprouting new life.
I have to keep reminding myself that you are in the arms of the Lord, free of all of your pain and at peace. It helps ease the pain in your moms' heart. You are loved and missed!!!
I will never forget some of the fun things we pulled when you lived with us for 1 and one-half years. So fun to hang on to, Jeff may come up in May miss him and the boys.
Love and kisses your lonesome mom

I have to hang on to all of those fun times to keep going.
I picture you surrounded by your bunnies.

Hello Sweet Friend !!!
I hope you are having a joyous time there in heaven with your sweet dad. I have been thinking of you so much. Our sweet Chloe is so happy here with me. Each time I look at her...I think of you. With her....she brought a true friendship between you and I. As you said before..."that little thing doesn't have any idea how many lives she touched." It was God's will for you and I to meet through HER. God works in many wonderful ways. Until we meet again dear friend...you are always in my heart.

Winter is upon us, with much snow. Like dad would say "this looks like a scene from a picture postcard."

Thanksgiving will soon be here. I am grateful to have been able to spend 38 years with my only daughter. Will always hold our many memories in those short years close to my heart.

Hi Lori,
I have been thinking of you a lot lately. You see, I have been channeling your strength for several months while I have been dealing with my own health problems. At first, I retreated to my internal cave and did not let anyone in. I remember your upbeat attitude - you never seemed to give in! Through it all, you remained radiant with life, happy to be with others, and strong in the face of adversity. Those memories helped me surface and want to live as I have. I have been diagnosed with a rare cancerous mutation and will have to endure many surgeries throughout my remaining time. Luckily, not by coincidence, I met you. You have impacted me in ways that I am still in awe of. Like you, I have used music to sooth the pains. I had surgery Wednesday and had images in my head of you and your iPod in a hospital bed. I am certain that you are with me now, strengthening me during my recovery. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hi Lori. I was thinking about you while I sit here listening to your CDs (again) :) You'd be totally excited to know that a friend of mine that is a DJ needs a song to play on the air tomorrow from 1986, and since I have all these amazing mix CDs of yours, he is going to pick a song from one of them to play tomorrow. Way to Go. I love you and miss you.

Happy Birthday to my dear Lori Annie
It was 40 years at 10:11 A.M. that we were blessed with the birth of our beautiful baby girl. Dad, brother Paul and I were filled with joy. We waited so long
The death of a child will always be a mystery, I know God has you in His keeping--I have you in my heart. Have a great celebration (as I know you will) with your daddy and heavenly family.
The memories hold me together. Miss you

Dear Lori...
I have thought about you so much. I just had a dear friend of mine pass and I'm still in shock. His name is Timmy Ledford. I wish there was some way you could "meet" him there in heaven and show him around. I know that sounds silly but...he meant so much to me. I can still hear his voice in my head.
I see that your mom has been leaving you so very precious messages here. I think that this "site" is wonderful. Its a way to let us feel we are communicating with our loved ones. I hope that they continue to keep your page here because I miss you and come here often to read your guest book.
The little bunny you brought me "Chloe" is such a THRILL to me. She is so funny!! I just adore her more than words can say. I'd give my life for her. The love that I have for her is so intense. Each time I look at her...I think of YOU. She is truly one special little bunny. I think she knows it too.
Take care sweet friend.
I love you

Hi baby. I talk to you every night and want you to know that I am doing good and am trying to do what you wanted me to do. I am moving on and have found a wonderful woman, Gayle. I do miss you and will always love you. But you could answer a few of my prayers, that is unless you and Chubba are too busy yakking it up!

Good Morning Lori
Today is Good Friday, the passion of our Lord, truly an emotional time for me. It is also your brothers' 47th birthday, hoping you and dad are here in spirit for his special day.
Dad has come to me a couple of times at night, calling my name and giving me one of his loud, clearing of his throat. I am patiently waiting for your sign.
I love you soooo much and think of you constantly. Miss your laughter and the silly things we use to talk about.

Dear Lori...
I got all the pictures that I could find of you and had them all printed out so that I could make me a little "Lori book". I have been thinking so much about you lately. Its almost as if you are around me or you know whats going on in my life. I had a real scare the other week with my cancer screening and I almost felt as if you were there with me. Holding my hand through it all. You were such a brave girl. Every once in a while I can see your smile and hear your laugh. You are soooo missed. Miss Chloe sends her love. Each time I look at her, I think of you.

Hello Everyone. I'm Linda Haas and I love coming to this guest book and reading the sweet comments and messages that everyone has left for my dear friend. Lori was the sweetest girl and I had the opportunity to meet her as she was on her way to a wedding in Florida one weekend. She brought a sweet bunny rabbit with her to give to me. I named her Chloe and she is the light of my life. Each time I hold that bunny, I think of Lori. I noticed that there are not many pics of her up here. Only one that Jeff put. I'd like to see some more pics of her if anyone could contribute them to the guest book here. It would be great. And thank you Jeff, for keeping this guest book up. Its a very sweet memorial to her.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm 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.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But 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 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 o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by 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, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dear Jeff and family
Lori has been such a wonderful friend to my sister Susan. I've been so grateful that Susan has had such a friend- we all need a "Lori" in our lives. Susan has shared "Lori stories" with us over the years so that we have loved Lori-even if we never met personally. She was a beautiful person. You have our thoughts and prayers now and in the coming days. Peace!

For Dana and myself, our hearts go out to you. Through all of my struggels with the serious car accident and then pancreatic cancer cells removed, I looked everyday to Lori for moral support. Her attitude was completly upbeat, energetic, and inviting --making her all the more loveable. Jeff, I know this is hard for you, but remember than Lori wants nothing but the best for you. If at anytime you need a shoulder to cry on or just an escape from it all, you are always more then welcome to call my at 330-384-0555. We would love your company and help you throught the transition in your life right now. We love you, Lori, your family, and want to do anything that I can do for you. I had a stroke two weeks ago and have to grounded from driving, so walk on over and visit! We would love that. She was warm, unbelievably upbeat, and truly one of a kind that touched my soul everytime that I looked to her for inspiration. Let us know if there is ANYTHING, so matter how small, that we can do. I do not have enought life experience to know exactly what to say other than she is in a better place for sure watching down on you and supporting you all of your life. Dana and I care tremendously about your health, and I have been to counseling and am able to help with my toolbox of skills. She will be missed, but not forgotten. With love: Byron and Dana Fay

To Jeff and all Lori's family: The IBC community mourns with you at this difficult time. While most of us only knew Lori via email contact, we were impressed with her spirit, courage and hope. She reached out to many providing comfort and encouragement. I pray that comfort for you now and in the days ahead.

Jeff:
I have been in Portland, Oregon returning late last night and just learned of Lori's passing. Lori and I connected through Leadership Stark County and we shared many laughs together. She was an amazing gal and inspired me in so many ways. My heart is saddened by your loss. Please convey my sympathy to her parents. I met her Mom sometime ago and I know her heart is heavy.
Love and sympathy. Carolyn Hess

My deepest (and sincerest) sympathies go out to my Aunt Barb and Uncle Lee for they have lost one of their most valuable treasures ever. Paul has lost a gem of a sister. May they all hold on to their precious memories. Always remember her beautiful smile, her hysterical wit and her undeniable zest for life!! I will never forget my cousin for she truly is the epitome of strength, positivity and COURAGE! May we all learn from her...she NEVER gave up. Get the party started girl, and keep it going...we will all see you again someday!! Love always!!

What a struggle that you Lori and your family had to live with for the past too years. Cancer, the word itself is hard to say out loud it is so devastating. No words can ever say the things we think when someone we love is stricken with this terrible godforsaken disease. I can only hope as each day goes by for you and your family there will be some light at the end of this long road you had to travel. I know with my daughter Beth Ann I just didn't know why she was picked as your Lori was. We can only hope we will have those answers and it will be clear to us Why!
Jeff my heart go out to you and your family.

I am so heartbroken for your loss of such a special person as Lori. She will always be a beautiful, brave and loving person to all the people and "bunnies" that were fortunate to have had her in their lives. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I knew Lori through Susan Graber & loved to see what a great friend she was to her & her son, she always brought a smile to both of them. She will be missed everyday. I feel very lucky to have known such a inspiring woman. When the skies are pink at night i know in my heart she is part of that beautiful sky. Rest in Peace Lori.

I am so very sorry to hear about Lori. I had the pleasure of singing with her and will never forget her. I never met anyone before her who loved bunnies as much as me! She helped me so much when I had to go for my cancer checkups, and I am so grateful for that. She was such an amazing and strong person. I will miss her terribly.

Where to start...Such good memories of high school and long summers...80's music blaring, laughs and fun. Lori will be missed and I know she holds a special place in the hearts of all of those she has touched with her love and laughter. Be at peace, friend.
