An hour later would come the knock at the door that mothers only think of in the late night hours that urges them to check on their sleeping children. The nightmare of life without Sarah had begun.
Having lost her father when she was 18, Lorrie was acquainted with grief. However, nothing prepared her for the loss of her brown eyed middle child. The loss of Sarah and the passage of the next year left her mother a changed woman, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. From the excruciating pain of that first night and the next few days, to Homecoming Night one year later, Sarah's mom went on an emotional journey of tears and laughter, of guilt and relief and regret, and finally peace and triumph.
Lorrie lives in Ponca City, OK with her husband. They have three surviving daughters, Chanda, Caroline and Emma Jane and two grandchildren Nicholas and Cambree. She has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Education and a Master of Education degree as a Reading Specialist. She teaches English at Deer Creek-Lamont High School. She actively pursues what she calls “Service to Others” projects, anonymously helping others through tough situations and dream acquisition.view less
