Lorie, Lorie, Lorie
I can not believe that it has been eight weeks and three days since you left us. I like Yvonne still find myself expecting to see you walk around the corner. Or hear that laugh from my desk you know the one where you threw your head back and gave it all you had! I know for a fact that you are up there getting things ready for the rest of us. Planning the ULTIMATE party!
So many things remind me of you! I still haven't been able to make a lunchtime trip to Mardel's because that was something we did together and I just haven't been able to make it there on my own yet. I miss those times the most ... they were filled with meaningful/spiritual conversations and can only be remembered never replaced!
I was cleaning out Brandon's room the other day and I came accross the note you wrote him after he finally had a whole week without a "bad" note coming home from the teacher. You were so proud of him and he knew it. It just reminded me how God didn't just give Brandon to me he gave him to all of us. You prayed for him just as hard or maybe even harder than I did. God was so good to me and after Brandon he sent you two BEAUTIFUL little girls ...You were so proud and deserving!
I heard a song the other day that I have heard a thousand times before but it means so much more now:
Healing Rain is coming down
It's coming nearer to this whole town
Rich and poor, weak and strong
It's bringing mercy, It won't be long
Healing Rain is coming down
It's coming closer to the lost and found.
Tears of Joy and Tears of shame
Awashed forever in Jesus name
Healing rain it comes with Fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain
Lift your heads, let us return
To the mercy seat where time began
In your eyes I see the pain,
come soak these dry hearts With Healing Rain
And know that you the son of man,
can take a leper and let him stand
So lift your hands they can be held
By someone greater, the Great I AM
Healing rain it comes with Fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain
To be washed in Heaven's rain
Healing Rain is falling down
Healing rain is faliing down
I'm not afraid, Im' not afraid
Healing Rain is falling down
Healing rain is faliing down
Let it Fall, Let it Fall
So Lord let the Healing rain fall, because the loss of Lorie might get easier with time and healing but it will never go away and she will never be forgotten!
Lorie we love and miss you!

I came across someone the other day that made me believe Lorie was already at work as an angel. I hadn't had much interaction with this person in the past. However, on this occasion their spirit was COMPLETELY different. It was very positive, bubbly, and angelic. At first, I found it bizarre, but the more this person reminded me of Lorie's the more excited I got.
Now, whenever I start to miss her, I look around to see if I can see her at work; it seems like ever since that day I usually can through random acts of kindness.
Lorie, thank you for continuing to bless us!
I think of you every time I hear this song.
I can't tell how much I miss you!
In Loving Memory
You were always home waiting
But now I come home
and I miss your face so
Smiling down on me
I close my eyes to see
And I know
You’re a part of me
And it’s your song
that sets me free
I sing it while
I feel I can’t hold on
I sing tonight
cause it comforts me
I carry the things
that remind me of you
In loving memory of
the one that was so true
You were as kind as you could be
And even though you’re gone
You still mean the world to me
I never knew what it was-to be alone....no
Cause you were always
there for me
You were always home waiting
But now I
come home and it’s not the same no
It feels empty and alone
I just can’t believe you’re gone
And I know
You’re a part of me
And it’s your song
that sets me free
I sing it while
I feel I can’t hold on
I sing tonight
cause it comforts me
I’m glad He set you free from sorrow
but I’ll still love you more tomorrow
and you’ll be here
with me still
All you did you did with feeling
And you always found a meaning
And you always will
And you always will
And you always will
And I know
You’re a part of me
And it’s your song
that sets me free
I sing it while
I feel I can’t hold on
I sing tonight
cause it comforts me
