I came to give you a Christmas card today. The staff told me you were gone, ad that i had missed you by several weeks. It hurt my heart very much to hear of your passing on. I promised I"d come back to see me and just KNEW I had time. God had his own plans for you I see. I will miss talking to you. Seeing you every day was both maddening and joyful. You brought a smile tyo my face and I thank you for it. God Rest You Ma'am. Tivoli Logan-Formerly Housekeeping Rivers Edge Retirement.

Barbara, Cecil and family,
Please know our prayers are with each of you during this time of sorrow. There are so many wonderful memories of us while growing up. She will be truly missed by all who knew and loved her. But there is one thing I know for sure, the world will always be a better place because at one time my Aunt Lorene lived here. She will now bring happiness as she sits at the right hand side of her Father.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Your mother was a special person and my late husband, Richard, always kept a special place in his heart for her. She had such a wonderful impact on his life. I know she will be missed greatly.

Dear Barbara and family, I am saddened by knowledge of your mother's loss. She was such a faithful member of our Sunday church services at the Rivers Edge, and though she had difficulty listening she would always tell me how much she enjoyed my messages. I will miss her very much. God Bless each of you. Rev. Randy R. Dart

Dear Barbara and family,
I am so sorry to hear about your Mother. She was undoubtedly one of the sweetest people I have ever met. She was so kind to me and never failed to ask about my family. Every time I saw her she wanted to make sure everyone was doing okay and well. She was a true Christian Lady and a Southern Belle!
Mrs. Lorene was a great friend to me!
