Loren is my first cousin, only a couple of years older than me. I did not get to see him as often as I would like because we lived about 6 hours apart, but I cherish the times we had together and the memories. He was very thoughtful, kind hearted and adventurous. The kids and I visited my aunt and uncle, Trish and Danny, several years ago, and I'm so thankful he was there visiting his parents as well. We played croquet in the backyard, and he showed us his extensive Civil War bullet collection. He took us on a hike in the Shenandoah mountains, and took us around a local Civil War Museum and Battlefield. We enjoyed our time with him so much! This was the last time I saw him. I also remember another visit to my aunt and uncle's house, and we visited Loren and Vince at their Italian restaurant. They fed us well that day and the food was delicious! I also remember chasing Loren around my grandparents house in Bristol as a child when they had come for a visit. I always had fun with him. I love you LG! I'm praying for you Aunt Trish, uncle Danny, Vince, and Jenna.
