My sincere condolences to Ellen, Karen, and their families in the loss of their mother. I have wonderful memories of Lory and the times we spent together at NIPSCO and afterwards. She put a smile on everyone's face. Someone once said,
"If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain, then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain." Now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile, knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile."

Ellen and Karen: May the sorrow you carry now soon be replaced by the fond loving memories of your mom. Those memories will last forever and she will be with you and your families always. Love you and God be with you. Chic Ayala

Ellen & Karen. I was so sorry to hear about your mom's passing. No matter our age, losing mom is so very difficult. She will always be with you though. I still hear mom's voice many times throughout the day...and dad's too...all these years later. My thoughts and prayers are with you both and your families. I hope that we can reconnect someday very soon.
love...
