Precious Memories

[Lorrie]

Some of my best and favorite childhood memories are of time spent out at the farm with AviBob, Leona, and Nina. I can't tell you how much all of you have meant to me. All of you have always been family in my heart and I truly grieve with you for the loss of a wonderful and caring man. I am blessed to have wonderful memories of AviBob and will never forget the impact he, Leona, and Nina have had in shaping my life. Leona and Nina - all my love to you. As long as we remember, he will always be with us.

Yes, Lorrie, U are so right. If I had been unawair of what an affect Bob had on my life, my family and friends surely weren't. I just never thought of Bob's not being here. I am so greatful to all of my local friends of AviBob and of our opportunity to support each other. I'm also greatful of the opportunity to meet more members of his natural and acumilated family at his gathering here.

It is funny how losing someone can bring people together. I have often thought of all of you over the years and the wonderful times we spent together. I think that too often (sadly) we don't realize just how much of an impact people have had on our lives until they are gone and we realize we didn't get the chance to say "Thank you" for these gifts they have given us. Thanks to you and your family I learned acceptance and respect for other lifestyles, beliefs, and ways of living at a very young age, lessons which I feel have made me a better person as I have grown and matured. It seems odd to say that I have missed you over the many years since we have seen each other, but I have and have thought of you often. I do want to stay in touch and hopefully sometime we can see each other again. Email me at [e-mail] so we can begin catching up on all the years in between. Sending you a huge hug and love.

Dear Lorrie, I feel the same way about you and your family. I cherished the visits to your house, picking blueberries playing with your dogs, Prince and King(?). I loved your family so much, I admit at times I envied the traditional family life you had together. I am happy that we're in touch again. My mom said this today and it keeps coming to me... Life separates... Death reunites... much love to you Lorrie, let's continue to stay connected
