• Michael here in Stephenville.  Today has been very emotional for many reasons.  I will not be in this school room next year, so I am having to clear everything out for the first time since I started working here in 2000.  Everywhere I turn I find reminders of Lorena.  We teachers are milling around and bumping into each other much more than we normally do -- and it seems that each one asks if there is any updates on Lorena. 

  
  

  I am going to post some emails that I have received for Lorena. 

  
  

  
  

  Lorena,
  I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that you have been in my thoughts and prayers for the longest time. I see Lorraine from time to time and she keeps me updated. I just found your website and email addy and wanted to say "hello."
  May God bless-

  I responded:  Jonathan, thank you so much.  Lorena will be tickled to know that you remember her...  Please feel free to comment on the blog anytime.  We are keeping this as a record for Lorena.  Thanks again...

  
  

  In response, Jonathan wrote: 

  
  

  Michael, how could I EVER forget such wonderful people as you, Lorena, Lorraine, Stephanie, and Lya?  You all are always in my thoughts and prayers, every time I patrol past your house at night.  If you or the girls ever need anything, please don't EVER hesitate to call me.   Jonathan

  
  

  We are so blessed.  Each time we call, I pass such messages along to Lorena and remind her of how much she is loved and missed by so many people.  Each time, she cries (and I often join in because I hate for her to have to cry alone), and then we laugh.  So it should be with blessings.  They touch us so deeply -- and make us feel so wonderful!!!  Thank you to all of you out there who support us so much.  You may not think of yourself as a blessing, but you are. 

  
  

  Lorena, you ARE loved, and you ARE missed!!!  Work hard, Darling, and GET WELL!!!
