I am ever grateful that I got to visit a couple of years ago. I wish it could have been sooner. I will always remember Uncle Loren for his quiet strength and stability. The memories of childhood visits at the home in TN or when they came to visit MO are treasures I cherish. I know Mom was always proud of her big brother and felt he was perhaps the most successful and down-to-earth of her brothers. He lived a long, full life and he lived it well, with the woman he loved by his side. The legacy he leaves of his loving children, grandchildren, etc. is the best any of us can hope to have when it comes our turn to depart this world. Sincere condolences to those he left behind, but hold tight to your memories, speak his name, and he will live on in your hearts!
