Friends of Loree, please read:

Don't post often, but lurk a lot, and this news is stunning. I hope I'm not being insensitive, but can anyone post what happened, or at least send a PM? I've scanned the various threads I could find and haven't seen anything? Again, hope this isn't prying too much, but it's like losing someone you know, and you want to know why.
 
I'm curious, too. But I didn't know her that well, so it's not like I need to know, I just want to know for some reason.

I am surprised by how saddened I am, though. I think I just learned how to pronounce her username correctly.

Just goes to show that we really shouldn't take these often faceless personalities who share their thoughts, no matter how trivial, on here for granted. Thoughts and prayers to friends and families.
 
Loree was a poster that I was just getting to "know". Y'know, you get a certain vibe from their contributions, and get to look forward to them chiming in.

This news is as sad as it gets. I'm not really sure what else to say, other than that I'm sorry that she is gone, and that I hope and pray that her family and friends find strength in the coming days.

Prayers for her family.
A classic Loree line I used as a sig for a while (went something to the effect of):
"The problem with honeymoon's is that you have to get married first. I would rather go on vacation and have sex."

Keep a fire burning in your eye
Pay attention to the open sky
You never know what will be coming down
I don’t remember losing track of you
You were always dancing in and out of view
I must have thought you’d always be around
Always keeping things real by playing the clown
Now you’re nowhere to be found

I don’t know what happens when people die
Can’t seem to grasp it as hard as I try
It’s like a song I can hear playing right in my ear
That I can’t sing
I can’t help listening
And I can’t help feeling stupid standing ’round
Crying as they ease you down
’cause I know that you’d rather we were dancing
Dancing our sorrow away
(right on dancing)
No matter what fate chooses to play
(there’s nothing you can do about it anyway)

Just do the steps that you’ve been shown
By everyone you’ve ever known
Until the dance becomes your very own
No matter how close to yours
Another’s steps have grown
In the end there is one dance you’ll do alone

Keep a fire for the human race
Let your prayers go drifting into space
You never know what will be coming down
Perhaps a better world is drawing near
And just as easily it could all disappear
Along with whatever meaning you might have found
Don’t let the uncertainty turn you around
(the world keeps turning around and around)
Go on and make a joyful sound

Into a dancer you have grown
From a seed somebody else has thrown
Go on ahead and throw some seeds of your own
And somewhere between the time you arrive
And the time you go
May lie a reason you were alive
But you’ll never know

--Jackson Browne
 
R.I.P. Loree. You always had good posts. To her family. Having lost my mom unexpectedly. The pain will get better. It gets just the tiniest bit better each day. So little you dont notcie a difference. Then, one day you wake up and you can think of your mom with a smile on your face.
Take care,
C.M.
 
as a longtime poster under several diff usernames, this was quite a shock to me. loree was oldschool. she definitely was one of the more entertaining/amusing posters.

Yesterday I received an e-mail from a mutual friend of both Melanie's and mine. He wrote to me that Melanie had passed away but did not go into specifics. I'm shocked. Totally shocked......

These days I don't post much and every now and then I will fondly lurk on Hornfans to see from the outside how my cyber-friends and acquaintences are doing.

Loree/Melanie was one of the most intruiging, entertaining, endearing, intelligent, eloquent and together person. She was the friend who made you "think"--then shake your head, tilt it to the side, smile a Mona Lisa smile and say "YEAH...NOW I get it." Loree made you GET it! Her great mind had an insight that many posters, including myself, just could not grasp at times. She was clever and sharp as a machete. The weirdness of this is that even though this is the internet, I feel like the person who has moved away from the neighborhood then came back because someone's death--can that actually happen on an internet site? Yes, it can. Friends come from all over--countries, cities, states, towns, islands, and from all walks--even on the internet.

Melanie, I miss our e-mails and online banter. I miss your great ability to make me use my brain. I miss your charm and wit and cleverness. I hope you are looking down at all of your friends and family and smiling knowing just how many lives you touched. Goodbye my friend.
 
I can't believe how much this is affecting me today since I didn't know Loree personally. I sure enjoyed reading her words and will really, really miss her around here.

Thoughts & prayers...... So sad

i just met loree at the spring game and had breakfast with her and others the following sunday morning and it still seems unreal. i didn't know her that well but i can definitely see how she would be the life of the party- very vivacious with an easy going sense of humor. ironically, the last memory i have of her that sunday was her telling a story of surviving a plane crash. just very, very sad.
