This message is not to my mother for i know that she is asleep in death awaiting a resurrection. Just as a living person sleeps, they are unaware of what is happening in the world until they wake up, this is the condition of my mom. I can't wait until the time I see her again.
I have so many memories with my mom. People can't beleive it when I tell them that I have never once had a fight with my mom. She was truely my best friend. Seperated by only 16 years, we were like sisters.
She was so fun and funny. She used to call me at 2:22 or 5:55 just because it was 2:22 and she thought of me. It was funny to us...lol
I inherited her bad habits of midnight snacking and eating frosting out of the container with a spoon. YUM!
She was the most artistic, kind, gentle, pretty, braid rockin, cutoff wearing person i have ever met. I am so glad I had that chance. So, heres to sneaking into the drive-in with 5 people in the trunk (Bev). Those were the days. I have missed her for a long time and I won't stop until I see her again.

To all who knew and loved Lore; She will be missed by us and hopeful for a large reunion together one day with the Lord.
Lore honored me with her first child. Angie (Misha). My first granddaughter was a special darling for all of us. Her mother loved her so. It was an easy matter to share in the love as it was passed around. Lore's well-known humor saved the day more than once. She changed attitudes, made gray times sunny and left us all with a warm feeling of gladness that we were somehow connected. You have your proper place in our hearts always. You left us too soon, dear girl, and join with your family to grieve their loss. Rest in peace until we are all one in His arms.
Much love,
Dorothy Hillis

My cusion Lore was my very best childhood friend. I would always look forward to our weekends and holidays at our Aunt Ruths' or our Grandmother's.We were able to find all sorts of mischeif that needed our attention. There was one incendent that will forever stay in my heart and on my mind. One weekend while at our Aunt's in Placerville, CA. we decided we didn't want to go to school the following Monday. Me, with my great childhood wisdom had a way out. We decided that if we had poison oak there was no way we would be going to school for a few days. Yes, I was a very smart kid! We rubbed that poison oak all over ourselves. When Monday came around, I didn't even have one little rash. This was awful. When my mother next talked to Lore's mother Donna, she told me that Lore was in the hospital with a very sever case of poison oak. It almost killed her and I was mad that she got to miss school and I didn't. I told no one what we has done for over 45yrs. I will carry this memory, with all the others, with me for the rest of my time here on earth. I will also get a little chuckle out of it. Till I see you again, Lore, stay away from the poison oak! I carry her with me.

"People come into our lives and walk with us a mile, and then because of circumstances they only stay a while.
They serve a need within those days that move so quickly by, and then are gone beyond our reach, we often wonder why.
God only knows the reason, we meet and share a smile, why people come onto our lives, and walk with us a mile."

Auntie, I will always remember the time you, Lucas, and Matthew came to Klamath Falls to live with us for a while. Lucas and I went to Brixner Jr High and both of us had paper routes. On days it was nice enough. You would walk with Lucas or I. I am so thankful for those memories. Thats the aunt Lore I will always remember. Love Sergio, Darrah, and Izabella Rose.

Aunt Lore,
Although your time here wasn't long enough you left an impression on everyone. You were loved more than you can ever imagine. We hope you are in a happy, pain free place now. Your family misses you, but you can run around in Heaven with your Dad now. Have a blast!
Love,
Jesse, Jen, Logan, and Landen Kimsey

Sweet Aunt Lore,
My heart is lighter that you are in a safe place now. I have many sweet memories from you, one in which Angie and I "learned" how to cook corn tortillas right on the stove burner, and when you saw us you didn't get mad you called us silly girls and showed us the right way! I always liked when you showed up to Grams and Papas when I was visiting, you would wink at me and smile with those cute dimples of yours! I know your life wasn't the easiest but now you can go rest high on that rainbow where troubles melt like lemon drops. I love you. Your niece, Kori

Im not sure how to put 54 years of laughter and tears in a message. what stands out today are these simple words, "I CAN DANCE!" You sure can my beautuful, funny sister. Save a place for me. When you see Jesus, ask him to take our sorrow away. I love you, Bev

Lore, my beautiful, talented and gentle sister. I was 4years old and I bit through my lip the day Mom and Dad brought you home the day you were born. I bit through my lip again the moment that you died. Thanks for everything that you taught me. Hoping that our family heals soon.
Love from Cherie
