Lore was a wonderful neighbor. Each time she saw me passing by her home she invited me inside for a glass of wine. Many years ago she asked me to hang one of her paintings in our home. It´s above our fireplace mantelpiece where we think of her each time we look at it. What a sweet and talented woman we will miss very much.

I remember when I met your mom, we were both working at Sohio in 1982 downtown SF. Glad I got to see her again during my visit last August, she will be missed by many...

Dear Heidi, Marco and Tina, I was in Italia when I learned about your sweet Mom. As a fellow world traveler, we shared stories and photos. I always enjoyed looking at all her artwork whenever I visited. She was truly special and I will miss her. With my deepest sympathy and un forte abbraccio sempre.

Lore was a great lady. She enjoyed life. The arts were one of her many passions. We had many great times. We went to see the Van Gogh exhibit. She always had a smile.
