Dear Steve, Nicki, and Stev Jr, I just wanted to send my deepest sympathies to you all, in this terrible time of loss. I haven't really wanted to come down to the neighborhood, because I don't think it will at all feel the same, but I do want you all to know if you should need anything at all, don't hesitate to ask. That goes for me, and your new next-door neighbors, as well. Lori was a wonderful woman, rest assured that she will watch over you, and is now at peace, and not in pain. My deepest sympathies to you all. Love, Elly

Aunt Lori is in Heaven with Jesus...Hallelujah! I regret though, not knowing her as well as I could have. Her passing has made me realize how important it is to stay connected with my wonderful family. I thank her for that, and when I meet up with her and Grandpa Rick in Heaven....we'll have all of eternity to get to know one another and sing praises to our Father who loves us so completely.

I love you mom. I can't really gather my thoughts to say much of anything because my mind is completely screwed up! I'm so hurt. But I love you. You were a fantastic mother. A great wife to dad. You know, We were looking through some pictures last night, and your Wedding pictures are amazing. You look so happy. And I hope that continues on for you. I know you're in a better place. And you're not suffering anymore. But, Now, I've got to get through this. Just listen to me when I call out for you. I love you Mom. Rest peacefully. Always.

Dear Steve; Nicole, Kelly, Steve JR. And all of the Cornwell family; I am Steve's brother's wife. We have been married for 34 years. We were married very young and I was very immature. I traveled for 22 years with my husband (Steve's brother). When we came home on leave and I meet Lori. She was so nice and talked to me and as I talked with Lori I gained knowledge about kindness and acceptance for people's "Humaneness" ... (I did not get along with Richard and Steve's mom at that time...I now see what a wonderful woman that she was. Something that Lori knew. She died and I talk to her often now.) I also admired how softly that Lori spoke. When we finished our Military time ; my husband would run into Lori and she would always ask Richard to call his brother and he always did. (Anything for her !) I know that Lori was a person who was so gentle in spirit. I lost three of my sister's and my mom and dad and family hurt so much. I can not speak the words that will express how much that I wish that I could take this all away. FOREVER LORI WILL BE IN MY HEART.
