Rest In Peace Mrs. Orrock. You were a wonderful teacher and my son enjoyed sharing jokes and trading Leo/Lexi stories with you. Thank you for your dedication to the kids and to teaching. Your laughter and presence will be missed at school. Thanks for making 4th grade a great memory for Colin. May your loved ones know you made a difference in many lives. You sure did in ours. Our deepest sympathies to the Orrock/Harmon Families.

My heart goes out to you Kurt, and the rest of Lisa's family. I photographed your wedding and to this day, she was my FAVORITE bride to work with! She made me laugh so many times! I am so sorry for your loss and I hope all of the wonderful memories of her great smile and laugh help you through this terribly sad time.

To the family of Mrs. Orrock,
I am so very much in shock and sad by the loss of Lisa. She was not my daughters teacher but part of the fourth grade team. She cared so much about each and every student and all the children loved her. She was funny, silly, and always happy. I consider myself to be lucky to have known her. How is it that a 9year old can remember that Mrs. Orrock's birthday was three days after her own? It's because Mrs. Orrock took time out of her own busy day to sit and talk with students that were not in her class. You did not have to personally know her to get a hello, or a how are you? It was just something she did. Lisa and I went to the same nail salon and she even socialized with me there and didn't have to. It was just how she was. We will forever miss you! For her family, may you find comfort and peace during this very difficult time. Sincerely, Rachel Johnson and Layla Celebi(4th grade student)

Mrs. Orrock was a wonderful, exciting, special teacher. My son enjoyed laughing and talking about Leo and our new puppy with her. She saw the potential of my son and encouraged him to do more. Our deepest sympathy on the loss of a great teacher, mentor and friend. Thank you for all you have given to your students!

Dear Kurt and family of Lisa, Mike and I were so very saddened to hear of the loss of Lisa. She was a beautiful and kind young woman, one that we cherished the opportunity to know. You are in our daily thoughts and prayers. Perhaps your grief will gradually turn to fond memories of Lisa. She will be with you always at the right hand of God. All our love, Becky & Mike Dana

My first grader walked his last birthday cupcake down to you because you asked him to save you one. Even though he was years away from being in your class, you mattered. My oldest was in your class four years ago and you're the only teacher he still talked about (or at least told funny stories of). For those kids you've already touched, and those you never realized you did, you will be greatly missed!

My heart breaks for your family. The loss of such a young , vibrant woman is so how to understand. Heaven surely welcomed her with as much enthusiasm as her students did on a daily basis. Carol Stream School will miss you.
