At 1:45 this morning Alicia awoke and ran to her her moms bedside while telling me she is gone. I had reached over and moved her in the bed and she took one last breath and went home. I believe she woke Alicia at that very moment so we could be all be there when she left. Praise God.....

Dear Scott, Alicia, and Colby,
I am so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine your pain but at the same time, I know you are rejoicing knowing Lorrie is no longer in pain. She will always always be with you. If there is such a beautiful way to die, she did it with the love of her family surrounding her at home. I watched my father-in-law die in the same manner - with the care of hospice- in his home- with all the family there around him. I truly felt it was beautiful. Please know I am here for you always and love you so much.
Love,
Teresa McGee
Scot- my heart goes out to you are your family- Lorrie is at peace now- she was truly the most wonderful person I have ever known

To say Lorrie will be missed by us all is an understatement. She brightened each life that she touched - always willing to help no matter what was needed. I keeping looking at your picture of thanksgiving 2009 - you all looked so happy. It's great to know that there will be a day in the future when you'll all be together again and even more happy as Lorrie will be once again whole. I know that knowledge gives you comfort and peace at this time. May God bless you and your children.
Scott and family. I am blessed to have known you all for so long. As we all have come and gone thru the years, kids grown into adulthood. I am MOST greatful for your family to have found our family at Scottsdale Christian Church. Lorrie had always told me that she was glad Becky had followed me to SCC because thats then when Polly and Sam, and you guys came. Our bad circumstances (divorce) brought me and becky to SCC and that trickled into your family as well. THAT was a GOD thing, as was Lorrie. Lorrie said she always counted on me to make her laugh and I so appreciated MAKING her laugh...till it hurt. God bless you and your family!

Scott Alicia and Colby, Lorrie,mother, and friend, she now has a great vantage point able to cheer Alicia and Colby though out their lives in heaven. She will be missed by all that she touched in her life. My she have the peace of God always. Todd Laurent.
I guess Lorrie and Grandma finally found a place big enough to be together. Afterall, I heard that Lorrie went shopping with Grandma just the other day...probably in preparation for Lorrie's After Life transition. Love never dies, it just changes channels.
I am so sorry for you loss Lorrie was very blessed to have such a caring and loving family. May God give you all the strength you need. Patty C
To sweet, smiling, helping, laughing Lorrie, farewell, and may Angels speed you to your heavenly home. To Scott and your family, my deepest condolences. The love you felt for your angel on earth was profound and true, and it continues.
Best wishes,
Gary Bowers
May God give you the peace only He can give.
Lorrie is dancing the golden streets of Heaven, pain-free! God bless you!
Heaven is so much brighter as Lorrie enters the Gates. She is dancing pain free now and shining down on all of you. I thank God for placing such an amazing person and family in my path of life. May God keep you in his loving arms as you begin this new journey. You all will forever be in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless!
Scott,
Julie & I all want to express our heartfelt prayers to you and the entire family. Although, I didn't know Lorrie very well, she obviously is a true hero to all hearts she touched and will continue to touch. You're all so strong through this difficult time...it must have been Lorrie that strengthened you. I'm also so proud to call you my lifelong friend.
God Bless you and your family...

We are so sorry. Sorry does not seem like the word to use, when dealing with the loss of such a BEAUTIFUL ANGEL. My heart is breaking for you all. Alicia, your bond with your Mom is clearly shown by her coming to you her her last moments. That bond will NEVER end. You will find that in times you miss her the most, little things will remind you that she is always there. We love you all and so wish that we could be there to hug each one of you.
We will be praying for peace for you and the family. If there is anything that we can do....PLEASE do not hesitate to call.
Love Always,
Nicole
Until we see each other again Beautiful Lady!!!

Your strength, unity and grace that you all have shown through this very difficult time has been such a testiment to us all.
Lorrie was given the Dignity and Grace to be home where she should of been with her loved ones. I admire each one of you.
I pray for peace and comfort beyond all understanding and may your hearts feel Lorrie's spirit reassuring each one of you how much she loves you.
I keep trying to wrap my brain around the fact that she is in the very presence of JESUS.
I love you all and wish I could be there to kiss and hug each one of you.

I love you Lorrie. I am so happy to know you are with Jesus.(a little jealous). Words will never describe how much your life inspired Kim and I. Your life was your legacy and it will live with us forever. I just hope that we will carry your message to others. This is the true message of the Gospel. Thank you Father for the lessons we've learned. May it glorify you!!
Scott, Alicia and Colby,
Prayers to you. Sorry for your loss. And I hope you find peace now that Lorrie is in heaven, but know that she is still with you, always.
Love

Scott, Alicia and Colby,
I thank God for the beautiful legacy Lorrie left us all....her warmth, caring, love and even her laughter we will always remember. Even when she was working...she had a prayer list on her desk inviting us to ask for prayer or if we knew someone who needed prayer....she would pray for them throughout her workday while working....again thinking of others and not of herself. Patty M.
To Lorrie's family,
I rarely saw Lorrie without a smile on her face, her strength amazed me. She was both beautiful inside and out and I am grateful for knowing and working with her.
I admire your strength as you carry on without her, she is in your heart and will never leave you. My sympathy to you all.

He Only Takes The Best
By Author Unknown
God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be.
So He put His arms around you and whispered “come to me.”
With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay.
A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.
All our love and prayers,
John, Ashley & Chloe
Scott, Alicia and Colby,
Lorrie will be missed greatly. She was a great woman and her legacy will live on. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Lorrie has been heavy on my mind all week, now I know why. Scott, Alicia, Colby, Sandy, Polly, and all of your family my deepest, deepest sympathy. Lorrie has touched so many lives. Everyday she will be remembered, loved, and I know I will continue to thank God for putting her in my life. She has tought us all so much. I will continue to carry a piece of her spirit in my soul and strive to be more like her in any way I can. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Your the best Scott. My niece has been very fortunate to have had you to share her life with for 30 years. The two of you have done so much more than you realize to touch the lives of so many. Thank you both for all the wonderful times we shared together as a family. Please know that Lorrie lives on with you within your beautiful children and the loving memories that you all will have to recollect, and keep for the rest of your lives. This blog Scott is so deep.... I feel you bro.
