To Mzee Odemus  family,
My deepest sympathies go out To you and your family as you lay your daughter to rest. May God give you the peace that you seek .
My thoughts and prayers are with you that God will comfort you  for the loss.

Thank you for always having my back when we worked together in the ED. Whenever I had a bad day you would crack me up with your sense of humor. I miss those times. I can still hear your voice saying, "Peee-Tuur" when you'd see me at the start of our shift. I'm so sorry you're gone. You are missed. Bye Loreen ❤️ 

Our prayers for peace to you in this time of loss.  Stay strong! The MacFaden family.

Fare thee well Loreen. May the good Lord watch over your loved ones. To The Odemus Family, may the peace of God comfort you. The Ngase's and The Manogo's Family prays for you.

Loreen words cannot begin to explain how I feel about your sudden departure from this earth.  I continue to pray for your sons and your family, I pray that our heavenly father continues to bless them with the strength and comfort needed during this time of sorrow and loss.  Loreen I truly miss your bubbly demeanor,  I miss you coming up to me upon your arrival to work, hugging me and asking "Thea what are we eating today" and when I responded with I brought fruits, rice, and vegetables, you'd say "aye you vegetarians I got to have meat". There's so much more to say loreen, but I'll end for now with I love and miss you dearly, until we meet again my sweet sweet "baby girl"🥰❤🙏🏿🙏🏿😢😥💔💔

How it all started,
The first time I laid eyes on Lo I thought to myself, that she was the most beautiful woman I have ever seen, especially with those braids and smile.
One day I was brave enough to write a note on an EKG PaperStrip.
It said, “Will you come have a Steak Dinner with me?” Circle yes or no? With my phone number written on the side. 
She never gave me the note back!
Weeks passed by, I got a call on my work phone, Lorren spoke. 
She asked, "can you come translate Portuguese to English for me in room 16?"
I immediately went over and encountered the most sweetest stubborn Portuguese lady that I have ever met. 
Lorren took great care of her & even asked if she was my grandma?!? Lorren had some good jokes and was an amazing nurse.
Shortly after she said, “Check your phone.” It was her, she had texted me!!!
Days passed, I was finally able to take her for that Steak Dinner! Time froze, but hours had gone by… when we got our check it was over $1,000+! . 
We were deep in each others company. We didn’t care. We laughed & joked about having to wash dishes all night.
 We had the most amazing genuine time & dinner together. Priceless! 
Years passed by, we were cleaning the house and I came across the note I had given her years ago! She had kept the note all this time and never told me!!!
I confronted her, she smiled and said, “I love you.”
I will forever miss you Lorren Odemu. She preferred the RR. My Lorren! Your energy, sweetness, and glow. You taught me how to be a man & a father. You have prepared me for life. For what is coming. I will not punish myself, but forgive me for not being there to save you on Earth. God needed you in heaven. My heart hurts, my mind is exhausted, and my body is stressed. My Unconditional love for you is eternal love. We will meet again my Lorren. I promise I will find you. Rest In Peace.

Rest easy Loreen
To Mary and Charles  and your entire family be ye comforted.  May the peace of the Lord be upon you as mourn. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

You’re always there when I needed someone to talk to . Always had words of wisdom, and always showed sympathy and compassion. 
You were an amazing nurse.
Such a beautiful person physically and mentally. 
I haven’t stop missing you from the day that you’ve left. 
You were such a good friend .  Love u 

I love you so much. You truly were one of my best friends at work. I will miss your bright spirit and beautiful smile. 
I’ll never forget my 40th birthday party and we got to salsa dance together. All of our talks at work about life, all of our deep conversations in your words of wisdom. 
You loved your boys so much, it’s mostly what you talked about . Your boys were your life , and they bring you so much joy.. 
I haven’t stopped missing you since you left .. An angel has left too soon .. I love u ❤️❤️

Loss leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. Your immense love to us Lo,will forever be missed but in our hearts we'll live to treasure the every good moment we shared. 
Rest easy sis.
Mathew 5:4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Memories of you are filled with joy, laughter, adventure and  lots of energy. You were quite a lively and loving person with great personality and sense of responsibility. We shall miss you together with the good energy and vibe you gave us  all. Even though it has been quite a while since I last saw you in person, your memories are as fresh as yesterday.  Rest in peace Loreen.

I will never forget you Loreen and your beautiful smile.  While working together in the ER, you were such  a calming spirit in the midst of chaos .Thank you for being my friend.    

Loreen
So hard to believe someone so full of life, has left us so soon.  You are missed by many.  So glad I got to know you here on earth.  Keep on smiling. Love you my friend.

Therese

I loved your Loreen (  "Sugar")
She made every trip to the ED my favorite part of the day.  We are all shattered at the lose of such a soul that touched us all..
I loved her. 
My sincere condolences to you all. 
Cathy. 

I’ll miss our mid-shift Popeyes feasts in the EMS break room. I’ll definitely miss your smile. I’ll see you again very soon! Rest easy my friend. 

I send my condolences to the family. Never allow the sadness of death over come the joy and hope written in the WORD of GOD. For we will one day arise out of the grave in a new immortal heavenly body and thus we shall be with the LORD forever. We are here but for a moment like a flower that rises then fades away. Lorren was a kind hearted approachable lady. I always touched her shoulder as I passed by her in the ER at work to let her know I was here. She always took the time to say hello to me. I will greatly miss seeing her at the hospital but my good bye is but for a moment until I meet my sister in the new earth.   

Although you no longer send me a random text tell me you miss me, you are forever  in my memories, my heart ! Be happy & rest well up there untill we meet again! I love you my silly friend!! ❤️❤️

Rest well dear friend.  Dance with the angels Lo. We shall meet again on the day of our Lord Job 1:21, “Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.”
