Loreena, I pray that your Mother gets well soon. I'm sure the people understand that family emergencies are unforseen things. Myself and others all over the world are thinking of you and will patiently await your return to the concert scene. You are a gifted performer and I absolutely love listening to all your music. I had the pleasure a couple o years ago, seeing you in concert at Massey Hall in Toronto. May the peace of Christ be with you.

Night comes and I'm thinking about you.
I'm thinking I know this path you're on.
I think it's one where I've been.

But I am thousands of miles away and
I don't know you,--- really
Not like sitting on a park bench
And talking.---(yes, a fantasy of mine)

If only you had a moment for park benches now.
---The path I've know had few,
Not for sleeping or eating,
Or thinking even.

Only for feeling and caring and doing,
For your loved one,
The best you can,
For your parent who has always done for you.

You feel too connected and,
You feel too alone.
The moments go so slow and so fast.
And each one means so much.

My prayer is for moments.
For your mother, for her recovery,
And for you, for your strength, and your peace.


From a distant park bench, listening to music that has brought me strength and peace and understanding, wishing I could give back and hoping that far away wishes are good. Jo

Dear Loreena
I'd been away from this comunity for some time,because of personal big problems. Now,when things are a little better here I finally did it and first thing I knew was about your mother disease. As everybody here I'm deeply sorry for. You can add prayers from Brazil in the list of the ones sent to you both, and I do hope they work fine the same way they are working for me.May then give you all you need most at the moment...Hang in there and GOOD LUCK!! Big hug!!!

It is late Friday June 5, 2009 as I write this message. I've been away from reading the message board and was thinking of starting a prayer/good wishes thread for Loreena's summer tour. I was deeply sorry to hear of her mother's illness. I was happy to see Wendy's prayer thread started already. So, I'll add mine here. Dear Lord, I pray Loreena's mother can overcome her illness and have her loved ones by her side for emotional support. For Loreena, I pray that she can have strength and the comfort of loved ones and fans the world over to help her through this difficult time. I ask that you bless Loreena and her entire touring party with a safe journey as they make their way around Canada and Europe. May Loreena experience joy during her concerts as she has given so much joy to her fans everywhere with her beautiful music and her beautiful soul. In Jesus name, Amen. Best wishes Loreena....From Kimberly in Michigan.

Whatever force, spirit, or Angel you believe in, may that spirit help you in this time of your life.

For the countless hours of enjoyment and escape you have helped provide for so many of us, the least we can do, is to keep you and your family in our hearts and thoughts at this time.

Loreena, we dont know you as we know our circle of friends....but we do care. We as humans and humanitarians have been handed by birth great resoncibilty; taking care of our earth and its all inclusive make up. Yet to take care of those who cared for us and nurtured us through life, must be most important.

Be well, and thank you....we do care...
