Memorial Tributes To Lori
They say there is no reason
they say time will heal
but neither time nor reason
will change the way we feel...
For no-one knows the heartache
that lies behind our smiles
no-one knows how many times
we have broken down and cried...
We want to tell you something
so there won't be any doubt,
you're so wonderful to think of
but so hard to be without.
God Bless Lori xx

Ms. Heatwole was like a mom to me. She really cared about me and stood up for me when kids at Timber Ridge would pick on me. I will always remember her kindness and motherly love that she gave me. I will really miss her. I know that she is in a better place and that she is watching over me,her family,the kids at Timber Ridge, her coworkers at Timber Ridge, and her friends. Ms. Heatwole if you can here me now I really miss you very much. I enjoyed our time together and wish that I would have gotten to say goodbye.
Memorial Poems Left For Lori
Death Is Nothing At All
Death is nothing at all
I have only slipped away into the next room
I am I and you are you
whatever we were to each other
that we still are
call me by my old familiar name
speak to me in the easy way
which you always used
put no difference in your tone
wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow
laugh as we always laughed
at the little jokes we enjoyed together
pray smile, think of me, pray for me
Let my name be ever the household word
that it always was
Let it be spoken without effort
without the trace of a shadow in it
Life means all that it ever meant
it is the same as it ever was
there is unbroken continuity
why should I be out of mind
because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you
somewhere very near
just around the corner
All is well
