She was also a treasured friend to many.

| Lorie A. Huston, DVM |
Lorie never spoke ill of anyone. She loved all of us and all
animals with her entire being. In all of my conversations with Lorie she always made me feel valued and always listened as if the words I were saying were the most important she had ever heard. She had a knack for making everyone feel special, when it was SHE who was truly special.
A light went out yesterday at 4:25pm EST that can never be
replaced. I just can't process this. Thank you Lorie Huston for your caring
ways and the love and knowledge you shared with all of us and the many furry
beings your gentle spirit and hands cared for and loved. You will be deeply
missed, but always greatly loved. R.I.P.
Lorie was a very special person, and my human was utterly devastated that she is gone. There are so few like her that are so generous and giving - and accomplished! What a rare combo. She left a big hole in the world of felines and humans.
ReplyDeleteThis is just so sad. She touched so many lives and will be missed. Sending purrs of comfort to all her furriends and family. We are also purring for her 6 furbabies.
ReplyDeleteXOXO
Rest in peace, Lorie. It's truly tragic, and she was still so young.
ReplyDeleteShe sounds like an amazing person!
ReplyDeleteWe agree she sounded amazing and will be greatly missed.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
You've posted a lovely tribute. We are so sorry for the loss of your friend.
ReplyDeleteI simply can't wrap my mind around the fact that Lorie is gone. She was one of the shining stars in our online community. I will always remember her kindness and generosity.
ReplyDeleteIngrid I so feel the same. It is just too surreal. I was thinking last night about how she was always a constant presence at every BlogPaws conference I had been to. So sweet, involved,...full of passion. It just isn't right. ((((hugs))))

ReplyDeleteIt is such a shocking, devastating loss. She certainly left her mark on this world. Gone far too soon.

We did not know her but everything I've read these last two days has pointed in the direction of an amazingly wonderful, kind, very caring and knowledgeable person and friend to so many in the blogging community. We are sad for the loss - this world needs all the kindness and caring it can get.....she certainly seems to have more than accomplished that in her all too short life.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Pam
I couldn't believe it when I read it on BlogPaws last night, lovely tribute.

It was quite a shock. One moment I read she was real sick, and shortly after she was gone. So sad.
ReplyDeleteI had the chance to meet her at Behind the Paw 2012 and enjoyed getting to know her a great deal. What a lovely tribute for her. Sadly her 6 cats now need to be re-homed. I have the contact info for that posted on my blog. ~Alasandra
ReplyDeleteThanks Alasandra, I was so upset I neglected to mention that. I am glad you mentioned it is on your blog. Also, if anyone wants to get a hold of you, Deb Barnes, me and a number of others, we have the contact info as well. I heard that one cat is going to be adopted by Dolly the Doxie's Mom? Not sure if that has changed. Thank you!!! ((((hugs))))
DeleteI wish I had known her....she sounds like a lovely person and an amazing and successful woman. So sorry to all that loved her. What a beautiful photo and post, Caren.

ReplyDeleteThank you for such a lovely post. The cat world is purring her on to that next great adventure...but we miss her sooooo much.
ReplyDeleteOh Amy, don't thank me :( I so wish it hadn't happened to that this never had to be written. I know you were quite close to her.....I will never forget the lovely conversation I had with you and Lorie the last night at BlogPaws in Virginia. I had so much fun! It was my first time meeting YOU and being able to share such a special time with you and Lorie was one of my highlights of the conference. She is already deeply, deeply missed. I fully intend to give you a HUGE ((((hug)))) when I see you in October (probably tons of hugs)

We're very late in visiting all the beautiful tributes to Lorie. She was such a special person... we didn't know her well, but felt like we did. She was just that way when you met her. She made you feel comfortable and appreciated from the very first hello. She set such a wonderful example for all of us.
ReplyDeleteWe'll miss you, Lorie.
