When the phone rings at 6 am it's never a good call...This morning we woke up to that call.  Our 43 year old niece, Lori, passed away last night from an apparent heart attack.  She was the quintessential mom to her 13 year old twins, Sarah and David.  She was a great daughter, wife, sister, friend....EVERYTHING.  Everything Lori did, she did with the BIGGEST heart.  She will be missed by so many.  My heart aches for her husband, Gene and those beautiful twins, her mom, Nancy and her TRIBE of family and friends.  This is going to be a very tough loss for all of us.  Thanks to my sister and her family for being THE ROCK in our family.

I have no idea when I will be traveling to NY or how long I will be gone.  It's very hard to be far away from family especially at a time like this.

I will try to keep my blog up so my students know what's up.  If I am not here for SilverSneakers or 8:30 am classes, Ellen will be.  If you are a student, check this site or call the gym at 954 726-1070 and let's go one day at a time.

Keep loving your loved ones.  That's what our niece would want!

Rest peacefully, Lori.  You were already an angel here on earth....I guess now you got your wings.   You are so loved.
