I have a heavy heart, this is all new to me. But, no pity or worry for me, we have all been through this or are going through it. For some reason I felt the need to put it out online, so there it is.

"Live life and laugh" is all I can say. MBPL

I wish you and your family the best.

I know it is not easy.

sometimes things just suck! to remember to laugh is key. i've lost both of my parents and my siblings and i all were able to find laughter through the tears and pain. we are all better off when we laugh and live our lives with kindness and compassion.

my very best to you and your loved ones in this scary time.

We love you Lorrie. I wish I could take your heartache away. I know you love her so much. Keep me updated on the museum show. Hopefully with pics. Give her a hug from me, and 2 for you as well.

Hey!! lady Lorrie... keep your head up my friend.

Thank you all, really. I'm home sick, coughing up everything from midgets to small animals...so, you know I am in that "feeling sorry for myself" mode.

Seriously, I WILL keep my head up, well, I have no choice, do I? I think the shock of having the doc tell my brother and I hit hard.

Thanks to everyone, I know we all have our moments. I am just grateful I am not alone. L

Sorry to hear about your pain. My mom is dying of cancer right now. I can relate.

Sorry about the sad new . Keep your head up and know that you have lots of friend who care and who pray for you and your mom. We're here for you !

I'll be praying and holding happy hopes for you and yours MBPL.

Oh wow. That's very kind of all of you, thank you. Still up late, coughing, cursing, hacking. Your comments made my night. MBPL (Lorrie)
