In Loving Memory (My Sister in My Heart)

A Tribute to a Loved One

Lora is a close friend, who as of the date & time mentioned above, passed away in a car accident. She is the sister of my best friend Blah, they are like real sisters to me. She was, is & always will be loved. She’ll, no matter what, be in our ♥’s for time indefinate. She would always make me laugh. She had a loving, bubbly, kind spirit. I hate the past-tense.

My favorite memories of Lora are: When she would take Blah and I to the store and we would be silly. Then when Lora, Blah & I would laugh about silly things. One time I was playing a song my friend wrote and Lora & Blah joined in with their violins.

This just makes us realize that we don’t have forever. Do things now, in the present, so we don’t regret things later. Tell people you love them, say encouraging things everyday, support each other. Life is precious & don’t take it for granted.

We love U, Pacheco Family! We Love you, Lorie!

Bri-on, Family & Friends

Oh, Brebelles, I am so, so sorry (assuming this is true, which it has a really true feel to it). You’re right, it is so hard to write in the past tense when someone’s not there anymore…But I think your last long paragraph shows that you at least took something from it, learned something. I am really sorry, and I hope that everything works out okay for you. Beautiful writing!

I’ve known her for ages, unfortunately it is true.

But she had a strong believe in John 5:28

Great message here – nobody has forever and each day is a blessing / experience. In the inimitable words of the Vaughn Bros. (Jimmy & Stevey), “Time is Tickin’ Away”. – Yoda

“You don’t know what you got ‘til it’s gone” seems to be one of the truest and hardest phrases to accept. I hope you’re okay, and as corny as it sounds, I’m sorry for your loss.

Thanks. I’m better than yesterday. And no, it isn’t corny.

What a loving tribute. My mother passed away Nov. 30th 2007. The pain of loss never heals. I will pray for you and your loved ones through this most difficult of times.

I’m sorry. I know it’s tough to hear that, an awkward little reminder. And I know that “I’m sorry” doesn’t really sound like it means anything anymore. But—I am. And I’m sorry for you, Kermitgorf, too. My mom died when I was five. And it really doesn’t ever heal. My prayers go to both of you.

My prayers for everyone! I’m so sorry to all that have lost someone. Very well written. Though it does suck to write in past tense…

She will live forever as long as you keep telling stories about her.

I am so sorry. I know someone who died from leukemia about 2 years ago and it was very sad. Losing close ones is alway hard, but remember, like Mrs. Fritzwilliam Darcy said, as long as you keep Lora in your hearts and minds, her heart and mind will live forever.

i am very sorry. car accidents are not a fair way to die. what you said about the past tense…i always talk about my loved ones in the present tense, because i believe that they are still funny, and nice, and wonderful, just in heaven, not on earth. i dont know if you believe in heaven or not, and if not, no offense, but overall, my condolances. You too, Kermitgorf.
