My dear Loren – I just heard of your mom’s passing and recognize this continues to be a difficult time for you. I’m so very sorry for your loss. She loved you so much! I hope that love sustains and gives you comfort. She will continue to be there for you. Always.
Loren, I just read about the loss of your mom. I am sad to hear of your loss. I know how much she loved you. I think of you often and hope you find strength in how much she cared for you. Much love to you, Katie Clark Pierson
Loren, You are in in my thoughts and prayers. Let us know you if you need anything. I never had a chance to meet your mom but if she raised an incredible lady like you, she must have been amazing.
So sorry Loren for the loss of your mother. I lost my Mom on Thanksgiving day and know how hard this is. Please let me know if you need anything. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
I worked with Lois for years at CPR and she was special and one of my favorite people. She will be missed.
