My heart goes out to Jim and Ariel and the rest of Lorca’s family that I did not meet but heard lovely stories about. Lorca was an incredible spirit with great love for family and friends. That love extended over the those that she cared for. Her compassion, respect and awareness of those she cared for has touched many lives, comforted many souls and brought peace to many families. I am one of those people. Lorca cared for my parents through their journey to the end of their lives. I could not have gone through that process without her. I never expected to lose her next and I will miss her to the core of my soul. Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers as you find a way to move through this loss. I send you peace, love and strength. Forever, Nancy Kitts

We all have Angels in our lives and Lorca was our Angel sent from God to help take care of my Mother and Father! She dedicated her time without question, to providing warm and loving care to my parents when they were unable to care for themselves. We are so blessed to have had her in our family. She will be greatly missed and always loved. Our prayers are with Jim and family.

Lorca was a kind soul!!! She showed the love and unselfishness she had in her heart, every time I was around her. She cared for both of my Grandparents (almost around the clock) and for a short time my Mom. She was a good friend to my Aunt, especially when she needed it the most!!! The world needs more people like Lorca! Rest in Peace
