Lorace Will Always Be My Ace!... (Reply to this comment)
by sam-pro
...and I'll never forget her kind words and comments on my reviews. She is still very much with us...she is an angel watching over me and many others at all times.

Though I never met her in person...I LOVE HER...forever! God bless her and all that she touched so dearly here at EPINIONS...Peter

I am ashamed (Reply to this comment)
by maggsmomm
that I had no idea Carol had passed away. I haven't been here in so long I.. I have no words. My heart is just breaking! I don't know what I could add..everyone has said such beautiful things..all of which are true. Except my feelings; she was so kind to me and I will never forget the imprint she left on my heart.

Sincerely,
Jana

This hurts (Reply to this comment)
by prapresident
I just read this today; my chest is caving in. Very few people, dead or alive, EVER, have given me the faith in humanity that Carol did. As I told her once in some comments, "Your words stimulate the mind and rattle the heart."

There will be an unfillable void in this community without her, and I'm very sorry for your loss. I think you probably know better than any what kind of woman she was, but I just though I'd close with one example; here she is, just months before her passing, and she leaves this comment on one of Granniemose's articles:

"Re: Much Wisdom, Virginia. (Reply to this comment)
by lorace
...
Virginia, WHERE ARE YOU?? We're all missing you and can't seem to get our email through to you.

So many persons have written me to see if I know where/how you are...and I don't. And I'm really worried and so are they.

Much love and concern,

Lorace"

She never seemed concerned about herself; only others. My chest will stay heavy for a long time, because I am judgmental, and as a result, I run across very few people who can get from me the kind of respect and admiration that Carol did. This really hurts, and I'm sure that's nothing compared to your pain. I'm really sorry for your loss, but I get the feeling that if Carol could spit out one more article, she'd say something to this effect, "Will you bunch of pansies get on with writing and stop your mushy whining about me." Well, she would have been too kind to word it that way, but I think it captures her sentiment.

We will miss her like no other. Your mother was not an average person... I couldn't even consider her an average saint.

Warmest regards,
Kev

I want to cry.. I want to smile for her.. (Reply to this comment)
by stamper4god
I be-friended Lorace back in '03 when she wrote a comment on a review I wrote on Epinions. She was so speacial and sweet. I had not been on Epinions for years now and tonight I went on and saw a comment Lorace made to me a few years back. I decided to look at some reviews she may have written recently and I see this. From the sound of it when she and I talked and from what you wrote I am assuming she was born-again and saved by Jesus and is now home in heaven.

It makes me sad that I stayed away for so long and now she is gone. But it makes me smile that she is with her Lord and Savior and is pain free and happier than anyone living on earth could ever know.
You are missed Lorace...

-sure my very dear friend, Lorace, knows how much she's loved here...
-sure she knows how much she brightened up my day (and so many others' onsite) just by 'dropping by' our pages...
-SURE GOING TO MISS HER.

And, sorry I'm so late in saying so. Blessings to you, Jeni, and the family.

...I can't say how much I appreciate seeing the kind words that were always left by Lorace.

I know I contributed to this long string of comments some time ago but, I just wanted to add that the love of life that Lorace had, endures.

Deepest Condolences (Reply to this comment)
by mtuairau
I only recently returned to epinions, but I remember the name lorace. Having lost my mother just this past January 27, 2008 I can only imagine what you are feeling. You are right, though, she is with your loved ones.

May you have continued peace and comfort while you celebrate her life & legacy. God bless you and yours.

With Sincerest Sympathy -

So Sorry (Reply to this comment)
by meleahk
I just learned of Carol's passing today by reading this. I suspected for sometime that something had happened but no one even bothered to let me know. I am very sorry for your loss but Praise God for having known her here on Eps.

My prayers remain with the family as they have been over the years.

In Christ,

Your Mom Will Always Be Remembered Here (Reply to this comment)
by colonialpara
She was a kind, gracious and charming woman and had nothing but good to say when she posted comments.

She was especially kind to me and encouraged me when I first joined this site.

I will miss reading her reviews. I know she is at peace and that the Lord is smiling at her.

With sincerest condolences.

I have just learned of your Mom's passing today. As I was browsing the message boards. She will be sadly missed by the Epinions Community. She will be sadly Missed by so many of us.

She was a true Epinionator, dedicated to helping others.

I am so sorry for your Loss. I will Miss Carol

She.... (Reply to this comment)
by kevlog
had an amazing way with words. Sorry I'm so late in finding out about this but I offer continuing prayers and good thoughts to her family as they deal with the loss. I just found a poem that she shared with me in an old e-mail...really wonderful poetry - excerpt below. (from SeasCAPE)

"You showed me, down a wooded path where thorns and brambles grow,
That they protect those tiny flowers that sleep, not far below.
Above our heads, majestic pines whispered Hymns of Praise,
Bathing us in fragrant streams of swirling silver Rays.
You helped me climb a mountainside, soft breezes dried my eyes,
And soon we heard the ocean roar with laughter, filled with sighs."

Lorace will be deeply missed. (Reply to this comment)
by lllopez
It amazes me just how much of her inner beauty was conveyed in the written word. She was always upbeat and eager to help.I can't remember a discouraging word I ever read from her, she was beyond that. No, we had our time with Lorace; she is off where she belongs, her work was done here.It just amazes me how much she touched this community; we are all a little better person for knowing Lorace.

Thank you for keeping us posted, and know our thoughts are with you and your family.

My Sympathies (Reply to this comment)
by pokey72
I am so sorry for your loss. I have been away from Epinions due to surgery, and just popped on today to see how everyone was.

Your Mom/Lorace, was so very helpful to me when I joined Epinions back in March. I appreciated it more than I can say. She always left a pleasant and encouraging comment on my reviews.

Lorace will always be remembered.

Our families thoughts and prayers are with you and your entire family.

Take care and God Bless

Sad (Reply to this comment)
by stockholder
I am broken to pieces to check up on a true friend and find the she is gone. I have been in tears now for 15-minutes and I don't know what to do about it but to recall all of the great words that I have read from Lorace.

I as a virtual stranger could feel so empty - I could only relive from my experiences how Lorance's family must now feel

though of course I am selfishly sad she is not here with us for now. I look forward to meeting her in person/spirit in the future. She was certainly a special one who withstood her trials with grace.

Sweet Lorace (Reply to this comment)
by briandalsmom
Sweet remembrances of a you today. How strange to log in after so long to find you've travelled on. I didn't know you were ill. You'll be missed. Your kindness, humor, and just plain humanness.

My condolences. The world lost a great woman but the angels have welcomed her home.

Sincerely,
