Tori, Tori, Tori, Where do I begin? I’ll never forget the day that I moved back to Columbus and started at Central. We were on the bus for some field trip and somehow Kynesha and the girls got mentioned. That day I’ll never forget your smile when we figured out we were cousins and exactly who we were. I hate that we fell apart, but I know everytime we ran into each other it wasn’t just a casual hey, how are you, it was a long talk in the middle of where ever we were. How time flies and some how we always knew when the other needed some one to talk to. Our random texts of going through our phones and stopping on each other’s names, nights with RyRy at Poppa Burns’s, to our long nights working at Papa Murphy’s. You were always so pure babe and you will never be forgotten. I don’t know one person who has anything bad to say about you, you always lit up the room. I love you Miss Tori and you are always in my heart. Love, Brit Brat
I miss you, baby.
Jack & Rene and to the entire family, I am so sorry for your loss! Words are no consolation at all. I know from experience how we yearn to know “why.” There are no satisfying answers to that question. I pray for your strength, for comfort, good memories and peace. The Lord loves you all & Tori is safely in His arms. May the Lord walk with you!

This is for Bailey: Bailey, I know you don’t know me very well but I’m Hannah’s,who was in Kickapoo with you(stepmom (from Camp Lakeview). Friday at closing her daddy and I heard about the horrible news that you were giong to be faced with and my heart hurt so badly for you. I know I didn’t get to know you well, but I was able to talk and joke with you at meals that I went to at camp last week. I know Hannah enjoyed hanging out with you so much last week and I don’t have the heart to tell her what has happened because I know she would hurt so badly. All, she has talked about since camp is how you were getting to go to Fort Wayne and see your new niece or nephew, what an exciting thing. What a blessing!I know your heart is hurting so badly right now and that you can’t understand why something so horrible like this would happen to someone you love so much, but just remember that the Lord allows these things for a reason and someday whether it be now or years from now you will find out what that reason was for. He knows what He’s doing, don’t forget that. God loves you and cares for you so much. Look to him for guidance and help and understanding during this hard time. Know that camp is always here for you if you need a place to go to just to get away for a bit or if you need someone to talk to. We are always here! We are thinking constantly about you and your family and praying for you all so much. To know Him and make Him known, ~Sarah and Tim Stair
We have known Tori forever! She was best buds with my sister Katie for many years, so we shared lots of car rides and vacations together. We will miss the way your smile could make everyone feel loved and happy. It was a gift and a pleasure to have known you. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family of Tori!
So sorry for your loss. Thoughts are prayers arewith you.
Brian,Patty & family- I was so shocked and saddened to hear the news about Tori. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. May God be with you during this time!

Dear Family of Victoria Martin: Please accept my sincerest condolences on behalf of the faculty, staff and students of the Ivy Tech-Bloomington campus. Our thoughtsf are with all of you in this difficult time. Most sincerely, John Whikehart,Chancellor Ivy Tech-Bloomington
I read your loved one’s obituary. I just want to send condolences. I’m sorry for your loss. It seems so unfair that death should have the power to take away someone you love. And when it happens, the thought of never again being able to talk to, laugh with, or hold your loved one can be most difficult to bear. That pain is not necessarily erased by being told that your loved one is up in heaven. The Bible however holds out a much different hope. The Scriptures indicate that it is possible to be reunited with your dead loved one in the near future, not in an unknown heaven but right here on earth under peaceful, righteous conditions. Jesus said, “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice 29 and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment.” (John 5:28, 29) Please feel free to email any questions regarding this message.readthebibledaily50@yahoo.com I hope it brings comfort to you.
I am so sorry for your loss Victoria was a nice girl. I loved being around her she was so sweet
Tori will always own a piece of my heart. Even tho she was my Lil’ Cuz, she felt more like my niece, and thats how i will always think of her.
I WILL NEVER FORGET THE LAST SUMMER I GOT TO SPEND WITH YOU. I THANK GOD EVERYDAY THAT HE GAVE US TIME BEFORE HE DECIDED IT WAS YOUR TIME TO HELP HIM TAKE CARE OF PAPAW. I LOVE YOU NOW ALWAYS AND FOREVER AND WILL NEVER FORGET YOU….
