Lori Gilbert-Kaye Obituary

Remembering Lori this High Holy Days

As I read Loris story I wanted to extend my deepest sympathies. We are truly sorry for your loss. No words can remove what you feel. Hero is an understatement for Lori. No greater love is there than one surrendering themselves in behalf of their friends. She was amazing and will be dearly missed.

What a brave, courageous soul. My condolences to the family. I am saddened by your loss. Please accept my expression of sympathy.

My thoughts and prayers are with Lori's family and friends. She was so brave, her final act was probably a testament to the kind of person she was. I hope that you can find comfort in God and rely on him during times of grief, as brought out in Psalms 94:19.

Though we didn't know her personally, we certainly are amazed as to what an extraordinary, self-sacrificing and wonderful person she was, a "Light In the Darkness," a role model of how all people should conduct themselves! May she rest in ETERNAL PEACE with G-D. Our most sincere condolences are hereby extended to her entire family. May our simple prayers serve to comfort you in your hour of grief.
Sincerely, The Tankel & Carroll Families.

my deepest sympathy to Lori's family and friends. may you find comfort in her sweet memory.

Courage is facing the danger despite the fear and not backing down. When we see it in action then we want to strive for it ourselves. What an example worthy of imitation when done with a good and fine motive. Please accept my condolences for your loss..

Lori, though I had never met you in person, your last brave, selfless, and most heroic act to save a friend has profoundly touched my heart and my life. May God embrace and comfort your family and friends as they mourn the loss of a very special woman. May your memory serve to inspire generations.

How sad to hear that another shooting happened, that resulted in the passing of Ms. Goldstein. That speaks volumes of the type of person she was. My sincere condolences to the Goldstein Family. May the God and Father of Abraham be with you as we await the fulfillment of seeing Abraham's offspring fill the earth like the stars in the heavens.

My deepest sympathies to the family. A senseless loss and one in which had sadden many. May God comfort you during this time.

Kind regards

Such a sad day for so many. We didn't have the pleasure of knowing Lori personally but our sister & brother Elissa & Larry Herring spoke so highly of Lori & they are just devastated by her passing. We hope you find peace in the days, months & years ahead with the love and support of your family & Chabad community. The whole of Poway weeps with the loss of one of our beloved neighbors.

While I do not know Lori personally, I want her family to know they are in mine and my families daily prayers and that our hearts are breaking with theirs and the community. We are all blessed to live in the Poway community and love our neighbors and stand beside them. We hope your family and friends will find the peace and comfort needed during this time and that God will pour His blessings upon you!

To the family of Lori Gilbert-Kaye. I didn't know her but I am so so heartbroken for the loss of this beautiful woman. The evil in the world must stop. It really must. I am a woman of color and when one of our sisters gets hurt it should affect all of us as we are one human race. We must continue to pray for tolerance and world peace. Lori will teach us to continue to love each other no matter what. Let us forge on and do good in honor of her. Dr. C. Harcum

Your love of people and this world mean everything to all of us in the Poway community and our larger world! May your family find peace and comfort in their memories of you. Thank you for being a blessing to all of us. Continue to watch over us as we navigate this troubled World!

You family is in our prayers. We are so very sorry for this senseless tragedy.

I did not get to meet you, but your beautiful smile tells me so much about you. My heart breaks for such a senseless act, and I send my thoughts and prayers to your family. Our pastor spoke some words on Sunday that really reached out to me, "We may worship differently, but we are all children of one God." She also said, "We are all part of one race, "The Human Race". I attend Community Church of Poway and like others there, I mourn with you. May God bring you comfort and peace. Lori, hopefully the sacrifice you had to make will bless others to shed love and peace and kindness on all our neighbors.

We don't know Lori personally, but have been reading about her. Can't stop thinking about her, her bravery. What an inspiration and an amazing person. Honoured to be part of the Chabad community that she helped build. Wishing you much love and peace.

May our thoughts and prayers for healing and love help you and lift you through this unimaginable grief and sadness.

What an exceptional woman, to save the life of her Rabbi. She will surely have a special place in Heaven. I am very sorry for your great loss. My love to you all, and I wish you Peace.

I don't know Lori but this is very selfless of her thinking about someone else life above herself. You don't find many people who will sacrifice themselves but Lori when Jesus comes and the dead in Christ who will rise first, you will be definitely be the leader to meet Jesus in the clouds of heaven...... God bless Lori's family and friends during this time of tragedy and may those that wee wounded recover immediately.

Gilbert-Kaye family together with those in the community affected by this senseless act, I offer my deepest condolences. I pray your sorrows are comforted by the Go of Tender Mercies who is there to sustain all in this time of need and invites all to Throw our burdens on God and he will he will sustain us.

My Deepest condolences on your loss. Death is so very hard. Please let God's love soothe your aching hearts.

The world is a little darker without people like you in it. You will be remembered

Lori - we never met. I loved listening to your husband talk about you yesterday. Youre someone I now admire. He spoke with humor, respect and love for you. Your spirit and soul radiated in the room and community. Let us honor you by showing more kindness to our neighbors, more love to those suffering and show the peace that you desired. God bless you and a life of legacy.

No one has greater love than this, that they would surrender their life in behalf of their friends. One day, I hope I can be as selfless and loving as Mrs Gilbert Kaye. What an incredible person. I'm so sorry for what you have lost.

"Just a little while longer, and the wicked will be no more; You will look at where they were, And they will not be there. But the meek will possess the earth, And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace."
Just a little while longer.

She was clearly a remarkable woman who enjoyed a life well lived. May God bless Lori, her friends and family, and the entire Chabad community.

How horrible that we have people among us that are filled with hatred because of your religion.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I first met Laurie when I was a young girl. Shes a friend of my mothers. She was always so kind, positive and bright. When my father was diagnosed with cancer, Laurie stepped up to help us find good medical advice. She was a wonderful person and is a true heroine. Im completely humbled and honored to have known her. May her sacrifice help to rid this world of the scourge of hate that plagues us and remind us that we must unite in love.
