We'll miss you, Loree

[close to jumping]

I don't think I ever interacted with her, but I really enjoyed her posts. Sad news and my prayers to the family and friends.

I would like to offer my condolences to Loree's family. This is sad news indeed.

 

[OLcoach]

I read many of her posts on here and always appreciated her humor and insight.

How tragic.

God bless her family and all others who loves and care for her as they work to cope with this loss.

wow. shocking. RIP Melanie. I can't believe the thud I heard when I read about this. I was just getting to know her through myspace and had infact written to her on fri. I was wondering why she hadn't responded yet. This is just unbelievable.

We'll miss you Loree. prayers and thoughts.

I too want to express how much I will miss Loree's presence here. I don't post much, but I do read to keep up to date on all sorts of things, be entertained, and to stay connected to the Longhorn community. Loree was one of those people who had great insight and humor on almost every topic and who I most wanted to meet if I ever made it to a tailgate, but will now never have chance. My prayers and condolences to her family and friends.

This saddens me greatly. We will miss Loree. Doesn't seem true.

That's just horrible news. As others have stated in their laments, this is not really like any other board i've seen. The fact that so many of the posters actually meet one another face to face at various events, makes it much more intimate than your average "faceless" board.

Even for those that don't make the events, so many of them post on such a regular basis that you start to remember little things about them, and these little things build into something you know and expect.

wow. thoughts and prayers to her family.

1st, I've lurked around for quite a while, and really don't contribute to those threads which obviously are from LHF sponsers. When I can pay my way, then I'll contribute ot this site and feel free to hijack, etc. -perhaps-
Loree, I believe was a sponser.
I have no more words other than those which have already been said over her death.
At that, I commend everyone who 'witness' for this person -
I'm not a dyed in the wool religious person, but witnessing is, I believe, born from basic human ethics. Everyone might agree that in this Keep up with the Jones's, Dog-eat-dog, if we can't at least 'represent' for another person, then what's it all worth? Money?, power?, ego?
So its Sun. morning, I got coffee and cruised by, and this topic got me weak kneed.

Thanks

I too only knew Loree through her posts here on HF. I was shocked to read the news. Very sad.

My best wishes to her surviving family.

 

[Horny04]

Wow, sad... I just checked out her myspace profile too, which makes it even sadder... And I didn't know her either, but she had replied to alot of my posts in the last few years. She always seemed like a very wise older woman who had her stuff together...

RIP

Thoughts and prayers to her family.

Jesus Christ. Unbelievable. My poker tourneys just won't be the same without her calling 4 times for directions, lost in my neighborhood.

RIP.

 

[horniegrl14]

I remember the first time I met her. She was so friendly and funny. She went on and on about her son and how proud she was of him. She just was so loving and, of course sweet.

She will be missed greatly here. Prayers for all her family and friends. They are all in my prayers.

Melanie was a true character. After reading her posts for a couple of years, I finally met her in person last summer and spent fun times with her whether at tailgates, hornfans happy hours, 6th street, and other parties.

Her wit, sense of humor, and as others have said her "tell it like it is" attitude was a very refreshing, humrous, and fantastic addition to any gathering. She was a very strong, independent, and extremely unique woman.

Prayers for her family, especially her children.

R.I.P. Melanie

 

[smwhorn]

She is one of the few posters where I actually thought to myself "I'd like to meet her." It is not that I DON'T want to meet others or that I would have been up to no damn good. I'm married to a great wife and have two great kids. I can't even remember what caused me to think the thought about meeting her.

God speed to her friends and her family.

 

[Uninformed]

Prayers and condolences.

It seems like she just responded on the thread about my 3yr. old. Does anyone have a link to the obituary? Sad.

 

[HornsN04]

Wow. I was out of town this weekend and just read this. My prayers and thoughts go out to her friends and family. RIP.

 

[balzac]

R.I.P.

 

[Canton]

This sucks on so many levels. I didn't know her personally, but this site won't be the same without her posts.

Go with God , girl. You will be missed.

 

[stillaphlopin]

I met Melanie for the 1st time at the Spring Tailgate and we clicked like we were friends for years - as she seemed to be friends with everyone she met. She was outgoing, had a great personality and sense of humor.

My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends.

 

[summit_horn]

Rest In Peace.....

 

[UTIceberg]

One more person here that only knew her in cyberspace. Truly enjoyed her stories and insights and in that way, felt that I did know her.

I hope her son is able to find his path in life too. My thoughts and prayers are with him and her family.

 

[orange_pride]

R. I. P. My hearts and prayers are to her family.

 

[Rio Grande]

I will miss insight and fun jabs, Lorree. Best wishes to your family, and they are in my thoughts.

I'm so sad...we had such a great time last weekend. I'm really gonna miss her and I feel so bad for her boys.

 

[Longhorn_94]

my prayers go out to her and her family....

I never met her, but still feel like I lost a friend. RIP
