An Angel is Near
Our heavenly father as took an angel back to heaven. He swooped her off her feet. She was in battle and he decided it was time for her to come home. We haven't lost anyone we just gained our love for one another. She left us two angels of her own and we know she will always be with them. She will be the sun who shines on her sons faces, there smile is hers, their tears are all of our nations together. Still we know she is that one eagle fliying in the sky she will see us again and we will be wth her another day. Our lives are on hold untill that day but just you wait we will alwayz remember her in every way!

~luv & respect~

Modern Day Warrior and Hero A song will travel with Lori
On her Journey to the Spirit World
The words will hold the voices
Of her children, family and friends

The song will tell her story
Of her place and time on Earth
And hold forever the love she had
For the peoples and the land

The beat of the drum is the sound of life
A reminder that she is here
In every breath that her children take
In every smile, and every laugh that you hear

You will hear her song in all the prayers
Drums echoing across the land
From the shores of Turtle Island
To her footprints on Iraqi sand

This song is all about Lori
A Hopi who lived life to the fullest
Who died for her country and the world
A Modern Day Warrior and Hero

Your Friend
I am truly sorry for your loss of Lori. I live in Denver, and we also received a visit from Lori as it gently snowed enough for us to know it was her, just two days ago. She is now walking along the clouds, above your three mesas. I will pray for you all in this time. I am reminded of the great Fredrick Douglas, the former slave turned Congressman, "Crisis always preceeds growth." I will pray for her children especially. May Godbless us all in this time.

Your friend in Denver,

Jacob B.

In Our Thoughts
I just wanted to let Lori's family know that I am thinking of them and know that they are in my family's prayers. I cried as if I knew her personally when I heard of her death on the news. I am a Chickasaw Nation Tribal member from Ada, Oklahoma and just wanted to let them know we were thinking of them.

Sincerely,

Tracie Carter
