My heartfelt condolences to you and your entire family. Gloria is now at peace and without pain. How wonderful that you all were with her these last few weeks. I'm sure she took comfort in that. Warm and loving thoughts and prayers from your La Porte Gravel Lakers

Oh, Lori. I wish I could do something ... say something that would help. I am so so sorry to hear this news. I will be thinking of you often, and as evidenced by all of the blog comments that I read daily, you have created such a strong and wonderful support network. I love you. -Debbie
I'm so sorry Lori. I lost my mom to the same cancer in1993 and I still miss her today. If I can help let me know.

I am so so very sorry. It is a blessing that she was at home and with the people who cared for her the most.

Lori,
I don't think I've ever left a comment here, even though I do read everything. I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. She was a WONDERFUL woman with spirit, humor, sass and enough love to make your family wonderful.
I wish I was still in Indiana, you know I'd come see you.
xoxo, Janna

You and your family are very much in our thoughts and prayers. Please let us know when and where her arrangements will be. We'd like to be there to support you and Steve through this. XO Cat & Brian

Lori, We feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to know your mom. You are a wonderful expression of her life! I'm am certain she was very proud of you and our hearts go out to you, Steve and your whole family. We're here when you need us Love you, Dean and Laurel
Sis, when I saw the subject of your email, before opening, I just knew.
Gloria (what a heavenly name) is with the angels. Wish I could have met her but you know, I think Kenny and I already did thru you.
Love to you and Steve and John and your entire family, friends, and others whose lives she touched.
Just got word of one of our biz partners whose sister had a heart attack. Unexpected. Pray for everyone...my family may be next with my grandmother. We all need to lean on each other. God speed to you. Friends forever.
Pain hurts, don't deny it. Love (Gloria) heals it and never leaves you. cyncyn and Ken
My thoughts and prayers are with you and have been for some time. My mother and I went on a similar journey 4 years ago and it changed my life in so many ways. Not a day goes by I don't think about her and miss her.
Yes, you are strong and your life will go on, but do not fight the tears and sorrow. Let them come when the numbness fades, you will find relief in them. Then, when you are ready, seek bereavement counseling. Hospice offers both individual counselors and groups and I can recommend both highly.
Your mom was always so kind to me and I will always think of her as Beulah and your dad as Barney. She was a gift to this world, as are all mothers. Now she is at peace and soon you will feel it too.

Lori, I am so sorry about your mom. I know this is a difficult time for you. Please be strong, but also allow yourself time to grieve. She was surrounded by loving family in her last moments and that is a blessing. Keeping you and your family in my prayers.
Please except my condolences, albeit belated, to you and Steve during this difficult time. I was able to catch up on your blog, and was saddened to read the news. Bless you and Steve, and your families, and keep you safe.
