Dear Larry, Terrie & Olivia - I am Jasmin's mother. Jasmin really loves Lorraine, she spoke affectionately of her when she was first at TRR, and each and every time we talked thereafter or went for a visit, we were usually blessed with getting to love Lorraine too. Our family went and stayed the weekend in Little Rock with Jazz on 4-30 & 5-1-05 and we went and visited with Lorraine. I know she recognized Jasmin and she responded to the command Jazz gave her to squeeze her thumb. I said I wanted to be next and encouraged Lorraine to squeeze my thumb, but no luck. I said, I guess she likes you better Jasmin & Lorraine squeezed my thumb so hard! We had a fun time with her, I wish we were able to have known her longer because I know she was an exceptional young woman. We think Jazz will be coming home soon and I know she would like to keep in touch with you guys. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers - we never really understand why God allows certain things to happen, but I do know that in all things God uses them to bless others and bring glory to His Son, Jesus Christ. I know Lorraine touched Jasmin's heart and I believe Jasmin touched Lorraine's heart. If we can be of any help, please do not hesitate to call. I do share your grief, although not as deeply. Love in Christ, Tisa

To the Root Family: Grief comes uninvited and is never in a hurry to leave. To some measure, it will occupy a room in your heart for a long time. We are never the same after tragedy strikes us. We get through it, but not over it. Each person’s timetable for healing is different. All loss is not the same loss. All grief is not the same grief. May God comfort you and hold you during this time.

Larry, Terri, and Olivia, My heart is with you and has been so since first hearing of Lorraine's accident. My daughter Miranda who is now at PA has so often passed on to me over the past school year all of the lovely things that have been said to her about Lorraine by her schoolmates and teachers. Lorraine was thought so highly of by all who knew her at school. Please know that you three and Lorraine are in my thoughts and prayers.

I did not know Lorraine, however i sort of feel like i knew her. I was also born on 1-28-86 just five minutes before the Space Shuttle Challenger blew up. Like Lorraine i have been in car wrecks, however she was not as lucky as i was. I just want to say that my parents showed me her obituary and how she died hoping to open my eyes as to how i drive because in my two wrecks i could of easily been dead. As i read through the guest book i saw how she had touched many lives and just to say i am another one that she has touched, even though i did not know her, from what i read about her she was a wonderful girl and will be missed terribly. I wish you the best in this hard time and i am truely sorry for your loss.

I was blessed to have met Lorraine during the time I spent as a physical therapy student at Timber Ridge Ranch. She and her family truly touched my life, and they will always hold a special place in my heart.

I read about Lorraine in the Sunday paper that she had gotten her angel wings. I am so sad for all of you, as my 22 year old daughter received her angel wings in 1992 in an automobile accident, too; but I know Lorraine is happy and I know how much you miss her. Stay strong and hold each other tight during the next few months. I pray God holds you all close during your sorrow. Your loss is the hardest kind to bear, and your time with her just too short. My God be with you all.

Lorraine, Thank you for sharing a year of your life with me at Timber Ridge. I will always remember and appreciate your determination, strength, and sweet, kind spirit. Although I greatly miss you, one day we will meet again and I will get to hear your voice and laughter that I've heard so much about! You've touched my life in so many ways. I love you and miss you. Your family is in my prayers. Chessica Porterfield..aka "Twinkle Toes".

Many years ago I had the privelege of teaching both Lorraine and Olivia at "The Academy". It was my honor to have know both girls. I am so deeply saddened by hearing of the passing of Lorraine.

As I was looking for my father's obituary, I found Samantha. Reading about her wonderful life was like watching a movie. I could almost see her in 'The Nutcracker' dancing across the stage or at school debating her classmates. Olivia, I'm sure she's still watching over you. My heart goes out to you, Wesley, your mom and dad, as well as the rest of Samantha's family and friends. I pray that God continue to hold and keep you all in his loving care.

I did not know your daughter, but as I read her obituary, a mirad of emotions swept over me. What joy she must have brought to you in her short life. I smiled when I visualized her fifth grade passion as she championed Bill Clinton, nodded my head in acknowledgement of her young, but already vast appreciation for literature and fine arts, and my eys welled with tears, as my heart felt the pain of her loss by her family members. It seems Samantha was on a quest to fill her short life with everything her hungry mind could embrace. I can only imagine the what you, as parents, went through, as you desperately struggled to keep her, if just for one more hour. The most beautiful wings in Heaven must have come from Gods' own hands... just for Samantha. What a mark she has made on those whose hearts will morn her forever.....even this stranger who will hold her own two daughters even closer.

We are so sorry about your loss. I knew Lorraine but I am closer to Olivia. Nonetheless, I will never forget her enthusiasm and smile. We pray your family will be able to endure the grief. This verse has helped us through many sad times. Maybe it will give you some comfort too. "But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:31

I didn't know your precious daughter, nor do I know this family, but I read the obituary and my heart both breaks for your family . It breaks because your family will have to go on without your darling daughter and will miss many things, however, my heart is joyful that she leaves behind many, many wonderful memories and this separation, as we all know, is only temporary. ...God bless and be with you at this difficult time in your lives.
