I had the honor of meeting and spending some time with Lorilee about 4 years ago when I judged the Florida State pageant. What an incredible woman she was. For those of you who never got a chance to meet her, she was the kind of person that after about 3 minutes knowing her, you've felt like you've known her for years. She radiated kindness, compassion, spunk, and a zest for life that was incredible to be around. She was the kind of person who could easily bring a smile to your face, and although many are mourning her loss and feeling overwhelming grief right now...with time...she will bring smiles to our faces again, each and every time we remember her. I know I'll think of her with a smile every time I purchase a pair of earrings, or a necklace, or a belt, as it was she who turned me on to accessories (especially the sparkly ones!!). I'm so grateful to have known her and through
e-mails kept in touch with her every once in a while. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family and friends.

God Bless, Jennifer Gallegos
