Lora Jean Bruce

Lora, I love you& miss your wonderful personality. I really enjoyed you, one of the best nieces I could ask for. (Just remembering the things you did for me,) it was so fun teasing Jims mom, Gloria, you really freaked her Out!!! It was awesome!!!i wish you were still here, there is NO ONE like you! (Jims Dad really enjoyed it, but he had to hide his laughter, so Gloria would not get upset.) you are the best! And I really wish you were here. Love your auntie Joni!!! Your sisters are so wonderful, I know you are here with us in spirit, but thats not enough. They love & miss you too.
Forever in my

HI Lora. I love you. I talk to your picture every day, and I pray for you every night.
You are loved and missed more than you will ever know.

Its really hitting me hard this year. I truly wouldnt have survived without you. That didnt used to mean much, but I love my life now and I owe a lot of it to you. The farther I get from the hell we navigated together, the more I wish you were here to do this part with me. You are such an integral part of who I am. It doesnt make sense that the world has kept revolving without you singing in the shower. Im really glad you were born.

I love you. And it never goes away.

Lora, my wonderful niece, you will never know how much you have done for me! Remember when we freaked out Jims parents? That was A blast! Freaked her out!
gog I miss you like my own daughter, Terrs too . I love All of you!,,, Joni. July 18, 20-16". Joni

I miss you so much. Not a single day goes by I don't think of you. I love you

Lora, it's been 5 years. I miss you. It's a depressing world without you. I don't like posting my feelings. I'll never stop missing you. I love you.

I met your sister at a party and your presence with her was so intense. So much so that I asked if she knew who you were. I know you are with her. It was so weird. I had never met your her before. See you again someday. <3

Lora, your birthday came and went. Again. But you did not. Still gone forever.
I believe in all that is holy but I am so afraid I will never see you again. Knowing I can't see you here on earth brings pain that is constant. I'm living with it. Didn't think I could. But I think what makes it bearable is the hope I have of seeing you in heaven when I die. But still I wonder if it's true, and fear it may not be. That makes it unbearable; and for a time I fall apart, again. There's no one like you in the world. I miss you. I miss you. I miss you.

Lora I miss you so much. not a day goes by that I don't think about you. no one can ever make me laugh to the point where I couldn't breath like you did. sometimes I have dreams where were hanging out and laughing and right when I go to hug you I wake up to the dreaded reality that your gone. I wish I could hug you just one last time. I will always love you and miss you. <3

Just wanted to pay my respects.... May you rest in peace Lora.

Lora, I no I just left a message, but I wanted to put this pictures up of you and your sister, it is a great pic "Remember the Fun times."

My dear sweet niece, Lora, oh how we (me, Jim & Jimmy and Jenna) Jenna talks about you all the time, and we have those pictures of you on the refrigerator. All kinds of, we'll I will say different hair styles, you would probably call them punk hair styles! Lol! But anyway. I miss you so much, I wish I could snap my fingers and you, Mom & Gary would come back fine and healthy, if it was only for a day. Your Mom gave Jenna a few things of yours to remember you by, but she didn't need anything because she will never forget you. You and Terra have always been the ones she has always idolized. I don't think you two could have ever done anything wrong in her eyes. We really miss you, I wounded if you can hear us when we talk to you? Like during the day sometimes I just sit out in the back yard and talk to you, hoping you can. If you are where I think you are tell my Mom I need her, and to call me. (Haha) or at least come to me in a dream, AGOOD dream tell Dad & Gary the same thing. Gotta go my sweet sweet niece, Lora. I LOVE YOU!!!
Aunti Joni

Lora, you were my sunshine. Some days are so dark now. Some things are unimaginable. Your being gone is one of them. It's still unreal. Like it didn't really happen, a bad dream. I'll just wait for you to come home. I love you.

Lora it will be your birthday soon. I love you and I miss you every day.

I love you Lora!!! I always will!!!

I love you Lora. I miss you everyday, youll always be remembered as the beautiful funny & intelligent person you were.

I'd like to know who is posting pictures of Lora. Thank you.

Lora, I miss you terribly. That's all I can really say. I find it too difficult to express myself here. My journals are much easier. But I needed to come here. I need to be everywhere you may be. Even if you may not be. I love you. I love you. And it isn't like you thought it would be. It never will be.

Lora
I look at your pictures every day. I see you and know you aren't here and still it seems impossible. Just getting through the days, weeks and months is such a chore. Day after day, waiting for this pain to go away. Shake it off for awhile but it's always there. I can see it out the corner of my eye. And it jumps in and takes over. I pray and I sleep. And start over again. I love you and I miss you. Sometimes I can remember every conversation we ever had. It plays through my head like a movie and I see your face and hear your laughter. And see your tears. How I miss you. Love you, love you.

Lora- hollidays are not the same anymore your gone, my dads gone, grandma is gone its too much I am thankful that when i look at my daughter i see your face its uncanny how much you to look alike.. she has a mix of everyone in her - your looks, my dads loud/crudeness hahah and grandmas wittyness - oh i miss you i remember watching movies and drinking coolaide out of bottles when we were little bitty- hug my daddy n gma for me <3 you

Happy Birthday Lora, This morning I was looking at all the stuff I have taped around my computer and I was drawn to your obituary. I read it again and realized it was your birthday. I know you are having a great time with all the angels. My heart and love go out to your mom who is such a wonderful person and like a sister to me. I'm sorry to hear about your grandma, she also was a wonderful lady! love you Becky

Lora, today is your birthday. It's 12:23am Jan. 20, 2012. I'm at work waiting for the press to start. I watched the clock as it turned to midnight. I will not talk about the great sadness. I just wish I could hug you for your birthday.
Grandma passed away on Jan.11 and her funeral was Tuesday. It was a nice service. You would have loved the doves. I can't say anymore. I love you with all my heart.

Lora it's almost Thanksgiving. I get to be off this year. I remember the last time we all had Thanksgiving together. I remember it being perfect, which never happens in our family. No drama, you were all angels. And now no more holidays together because you really are an angel and we can't be with you anymore. It's still unbearable at times and so hard to believe. No matter how much time goes by the cloud of sadness hangs over me. I pray you are in a good place and that God comforts you and takes care of you. I love you and miss you so much. I still worry about you.

Lora, I had a dream about you last night. Finally the dream I've been praying for. I dreamed that we were just sitting in the house talking and you were happy, and it was just a good day. We talked for a long time then we walked around outside talking and laughing. I remember exactly what you look like and exactly how you sound. And I touched you and you were really there. When I woke up I was happy. It was so real. We finally got to visit. But as the day wore on the sadness began to overwhelm me and the realization that you'll never be back once again surrounds me like a dark cloud. It's my personal cloud I guess. I miss you so, so much. I'm thankful for the dream. It was what I've been hoping for. I love you Lora. See you in my dreams.

Lora, I've been thinking alot of you lately and in my email today I was reminded your guest book would be kept online until May 8th. This was a sign to let you know you have so many that love and miss you dearly. Your mom is so strong and I can hear in her voice a part of her is missing. I pray for her and your family to stay strong, but loosing a child of your own is not something you can put in words. Love you. Becky

Lora, It's almost Easter. Last year even tho it was 5th of April, it was the night of Easter when you passed away. It's been the worst year of my life. And now tho the pain never stops, it sharpens as Easter approaches. Now Gary is gone too. He passed away on the 8th of April. And I wonder if you know. I wonder if he sees you and if you are reunited. I wonder if you both are happier at seeing each other. I wonder if he will tell you that we miss you everyday but we are OK. And if you both will see Dad and Terry. I wonder a lot. I wish I knew more. I miss talking to you. I miss holding your hand and all your hugs. I love you Lora. Always

Lora its fester. Its been almost a year since youve left us and its still hard for me to find the words to express just how much i miss you. You ment the world to me. You made my life better you made me happy and you made me feel loved like no other women ive ever been with. I just wish i could tell you one more time that you were beautiful and special and ment everything to me. I will never find another girl like you! Untill we meet again just know that the world is a little less bright without you...

Lora, you are so loved and missed.

You are the single most influential person in my life. For 17 years you were my best friend. I have an emptiness inside now that I cannot run from. I wish I could have been there for you and Im sorry I moved away. We kept eachother safe for so many years always having eachothers backs. I try and run through the thousands of memories, trying to hold onto all of them. I never knew how much you influenced my life untill you were gone and I no longer had you out there somewhere..... Always trying to impress you even if you could not see it. My life is not the same without you and I try and live my life with the wisdoms you gave me. I will always love you more than you would ever know.- Natalie

Lora, it's your birthday today & the first time I've been able to write something to u. we had ur favorite cheesecake and took pics at hart park on our tree with the kids cari n mom. I miss u so much. u were my best friend and the only person I share all my memories with. there's a hole inside me that will never be filled. I love you so much and I miss u every day.. all day.
<3 terra

Lora I come and look at this page everyday when I come in to work. I just don't know what to say without crying. I write in my journal every night. You'd be proud. I started to read yours but it's just too soon. I don't know if I'll ever be able to read it. I love you and I miss you. I pray every night to have a sweet dream about you so I can see you and talk to you. It's so hard to be here without you. I love you.

Sherri,
we all miss lora and you are in our thoughts and prays always.

I miss you Lora. The world is different now. Our lives are different. There is a great sadness. And there is a an emptiness that will never be filled. I miss you and I love you so much.

Sherri, There was a bond that Lora created in December. We will forever be bound by. I think of Lora often my heart still hurts as I'm sure yours does. I can only imagine the pain you are now going through. As often as I think of Lora I think of you. You are in my thoughts and prayers. I dont want to intrude. I just wanted to let you know I am here for you if you need me.

I love you

Dear sheri,

I was really hoping to see you soon, Lora. I missed you so much, but now it will have to wait. I miss you even more, and I will keep remembering all the funny things you use to say. You lit up so many people's lives, you were wonderful. I know you will be your Mom's angel from now on and I am so sorry to the family for their loss.

Goodbye,Lora,you were more then words can describe ,but definatly one of the last true punk rockers in Bako....and that means something.I am also sorry your service will be private because I think you know it would be quite a turnout.Take care,say hi to Butch,Mikey,Russel,Ripper,Carlos,and all the others that were too eautiful for this world.See ya soon in that big slam pit in the sky!Till then,may God bless your family and friends,much luv por vida,Adam

I am at a loss for words. Sherri, Cari, Terra, Tyler, Jocelyn and Savannah, I am so deeply sorry. I just learned of Lora's passing a few days ago - my mom saw the article. She said she remembers Lora catching butterflies in her front yard when she was little. Even though we lost touch over the years, I have never stopped thinking about all of you and followed Terra, Lora and Tyler on myspace. I love looking at the pictures of how everyone has grown up. I saw Lora about a year ago today and she looked so good. She was the most kind hearted person and she will be greatly missed. I love you all and if there is anything you need, I'm here for you. Katie Posey.

Loss such as this is never fair, our hearts cannot make sense, the pain of loss is always there, to remind us what we'll miss, what needs to be remembered, and her furry friends agree, her heart was lit like embers, an angel she must be. Love, Jenni

Lora, I'll never forget how you always wanted to go with Terra, Brandon and me wherever we went, but we always loved having you along for the ride! You never got a chance to be the grown-up, but I will always love you, and always see you as that sweet little girl. I just wish I'd had time to know the the woman you would have become. Terra, if you need me just call Brandon and he'll tell you where to find me. I love you both. Jenni

I got a few calls telling me you had passed. I could not believe that another friend was gone. Your truely an awesome person Lora. We had some fun together. Haha! You will truely be missed here but I know your OK. Your with Butch and Mikey now.I'll miss seeing you on my trips back to Bakersfield. Some day we'll all be together again! See you on the other side. Love you girl!
