It is with the heaviest of hearts that I report the passing of my beautiful mother this morning, she valiantly lost her fight to cancer. I am so proud of her heroic struggle after being given just 3 months last July, she showed her heart and will to extend it one year.
I wish to thank everyone for their well wishes and support through the most trying time of my life, my Mother initiated my love for German Shepherds and her regret was not seeing Gavin in Virginia this year, though I suspect there will surely be more than two people handling him this year, my Mother was my inspiration in life, and I was never more proud to be her daughter.
I love and thank you all.
Lorie

Lori, I am very sorry for your loss.
My family and I would like to join the Alta-Tollhaus family in expressing our condolences to you and your family. Praying for the strength for you to handle what the coming days hold, for a sense of comfort and peace even through this time, and for a strong, deep, meaningful healing to come to you over time.
Lori,
I am very sorry for your loss. Her love and inspiration will be with you always. Prayers that you find the strength to get through the next days and months. Eventually there comes a time when the memory of the pain fades and all that is left is the warmth of your memories.
Lorie,
It was my privilege to have meet your Mum. She was very beautiful, charming, and so full of life, all in this tiny package. Defying physics, this petite-sized spitfire gave the biggest heartfelt hugs you will ever get.
Every Mother should be so fortunate to have a daughter like you and every daughter a mother like yours. All the love you had for your Mother and her for you is not gone, it is still there, and will be with you always. I think Gavin already knows, he has been much more affectionate lately. He always is, but more….
I love having Gavin here but I look forward to seeing you two reunited as I know he will bring you joy and comfort.
With much love XOXOXO

God bless you and your family, my sincere condolences.
Lori, I am sorry to hear this, It is amazing what these animals seem to be aware of in one way or another,and the way they portrait those things to us.
She is definitely looking down to you. You’re in my prayers. From Michigan, we love you Lorie. <3
We are so sorry to hear of the passing of your Mum. I myself lost my Mum only two years ago, to a terribly long battle with Parkinson’s Disease. I know she is always with me no matter what I am doing or where I am in the world. Your Mum will be with you too regardless of where life takes you. You feel a huge loss right now and that hole never leaves you, but you will gain strength knowing that you are still sharing your life with your Mum.
Lorie,
We are so sorry to hear about your mother.
Our thoughts are with you.
