I just had met Tori at cvtec not long ago, the class brought all of us so close we all feel like family. A memory I will keep with my always is when we were learning skills and had to feed each other. So we knew what it was like to not be able to take care of our self with something as simple as wiping you face. Tori was my partner in this activity. Our teacher Ms. Shambrook leaned over to her while Tori was feeding me and I was blindfolded and not aloud to speak or move and whispered Tori get some on her face :). I heard her say "do I have to??" she was always so caring like that. But she did... all over my chin.. good times. Im so glad I had the time that I did with her.
Miss you tori, rest in peace.

I have personally witnessed a close community who is so deeply saddened with the loss of Tori. Her classmates and friends were very touched by Tori and they share in the pain of her loss. She clearly touched everyone in such a positive way. Please know that we are keeping Tori's family and friends in our hearts, thoughts and prayers.

October 28, 2009

Im so sorry for your lost, I never got the chance to meet Tori but i use to alaways see her around, whenever you would see her smile she made you smile, she will be missed by everyone she will be looking down on everyone.
RIP Tori

October 28, 2009

Please know that though I never met your daughter Tori, my son had & though he hadn't seen her but a few times, he spoke so highly of her. One night, he came home & told me he & his group of friends met some new kids @ the races & the one who stuck in his mind was "a really cool, smiling girl, I think from Saranac or Morrisonville named Tori".When I read about her passing, I showed him her picture & he just sobbed. She truly is a gem to have affected a near stranger,a teen boy, to such a degree. An entire community grieves & sheds tears with you, for she touched the lives of many strangers you may never know.So very sorry for your loss.....

HEATHER AND WALT, I AM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOST. SHE AND MY GRANDSON BOBBY WERE VERY GOOD FRIENDS. IF THERE IS ANYTHING I CAN DO PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

Dear Heather and her family,

I know that only you can truly understand the sadness of your loss. I know words can't take away the sadness you feel. But I want you to know you're not alone. I care deeply for you and all that you are going through. That I want to help in any way I can. If it is a shoulder to lean on, mine is here. If it's a kind word or a hug, I have as many as you need. If it's the time to be alone, I understand. If it's someone to talk to, I'll listen.

I have so many memories of Tori but one that always comes to my mind is the night that I spent the night at heather's trailor when Tori was about 9 yrs. old. Tori did not want to sleep in her room or anywhere that her mother wasn't. She was very attached to her mother and refused to leave her alone. So I had an idea to break her of this once and for all. My plan was to stay in the doorway of her room and not let her leave her room and run to her Mom. She screamed and screamed for her mother and I told her she was fine. She fought me for about 2 hours and we finally talked and she understood why I was doing it but didn't like it. She gave me a hug and kiss and went to sleep without her mother by her side. When she woke up in the morning, she was so proud of herself and smiled and hugged her Mom. I loved that night for the one reason that we connected. She was a very special person and she is deeply missed.

Heather, Walter and Family,
We cannot even try to put into words how sorry and sad we are for all of you at this time. There are no words to ever express how deep your pain is, nor to comfort you...just know that there are caring people around you who will do anything they are capable of to be there for you and help as much as they can. Please accept our condolences and prayers and allow GOD to carry you through this and into the future, as dark as it looks now, you will see the sun again.
