You’d be so proud of your family Lor! Felt you there with us on St. Patrick’s Day weekend/movie night. Listening to this album, sung and written by your daughter Casey, sure hit home. This is a gift both you and Ted cultivated and inspired in her. We all carry you with us. Manifesting your essence in so many different ways. I think it’s kind of beautiful how loss can touch a part of you that nothing else can, and bring about an expression as beautiful as this. An anthology of grief, in many of its forms: https://surethingsurething.bandcamp.com/album/sure-thing ❤️11:11

Happy Birthday Lor! On todays family strand, many of us shared a few of our favorite memories of you. You are missed, dear sister. Give my earthly family up there with you a big hug, and I’ll do the same for those of us down here still circling the sun. I love you to the moon & back!

Hi Sis, Since Pat came here and left you a message, thought I'd do the same. I hope he is finally at peace and wrapped in the arms of you, mom, and dad. You two were called home so early, maybe it is true what that say that "only the good die young." We miss you all so much. Leave the light on for us (not anytime soon, please). :) Love you to the moon and back! ❤️🌙

Thank you Lori for lighting up the life of my brother, Ted. Your love, strength and life wisdom offered a foundation for him and for your beautiful children. You faced more adversity than I would have wished for you in your life on earth. You are loved. You will be missed.

Will miss you very much. We had good and bad times together, however you were my friend, that I will never be able to replace. To your family, I wish and pray for for all of you at this most difficult time. I know how much she loved each and everyone of you.

She was my deirfiúr, my sister. I had over 4 decades of memories with her, how could I ever choose just one!? She's the one I'd call when I was happy and the one I'd reach for when I was sad. It's a devastating loss, but she has given us many blessings, even in her passing. Most important one...our time here is uncertain. Love truly, madly, deeply. Pursue your dreams today, don't wait for tomorrow. Be the best version of yourself as often as possible. And smile... live in the light and find joy and laughter to consume your days. This is what matters.
