Rich, I'm so glad that I got to know Lorie online, even if I never got to meet her. I can tell you that she made a real, lasting impression on me, even if it was only through seeing her on YouTube or via the written word I say "only" via the written word, but of course for so many of us, our world revolves around it!
Naturally your own world revolves around Lorie, and I really feel for you there, with that huge void that nothing else could fill. I know what it's like to lose someone very dear, and what a huge shock it is -- even if you were expecting it. But I hope (and believe) you'll be surrounded by whatever help & comfort you may need.
But I'm very happy to have had the opportunity to get to know Lorie just a little, and I know that she touched a lot of lives around here, including mine. So I'll at least have that comfort, and I'm glad for her that she doesn't have to suffer any more. Actually, I have to say I've learned an awful lot from following her journey, and I feel privileged to have been able to join her on that journey for however brief a time, in however small a way.
I'll be thinking of you when the time comes to celebrate her life, you can be sure of that. Please remember to take care of yourself through all this, OK?
