Patricia and I will always remember Loren as one of our dearest customers at BookMarx Bookstore in downtown Steubenville. Whenever he and Tami visited, their presence brightened our day and made it truly special. Loren´s kindness, gentle spirit, and steadfast support meant so much to us and will never be forgotten. God bless you, Loren.
