I'm so sorry for the loss of Lorie she was a wonderful lady. She put up a great fight,It's so hard to lose someone but we know she is now pain free.My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Sharing in Your Sorrow:

I know this time of grief
is so difficult for you,
And thinking of you hurting
makes my heart hurt too.
We can never really know
how another feels.
I only hope you know
that my concern for you is real.
I just wish there was something
more that I could do
To take away the sorrow
that is weighing down on you.
Although I cannot change things,
this I can extend-
my loving thoughts, my heartfelt prayers
for you, my special friend
