NW grad's 'Dreams' published

By TONY BARKER Lori Montgomery would be 26 now As many young people, she had “Dreams to Decide.’’ As many young people, she felt an intense need to love and to be loved. As many young people, she struggled to find God and her relationship to Him. As many young people, she searched to find the meaning of existence. Her search ended nearly six years ago when the 1974 graduate of North Wood High School lost her life in an automobile accident. However, her “Dreams to Decide” remain. They are preserved in a collection erf poetic writings from her 20-year lifetime published under the title “Dreams to Decide,” tracing the journey of a young person through both the dreams and the struggles of life. The writings were compiled by her father, Jerry E. Montgomery and published by the family. In his introduction to the book, Montgomery says that Lori referred to her writings as “love poems” reflecting “the deep inner feelings of joy and frustration in all human creatures.” The book is organized in four chapters, reflecting the seasons erf the year. It begins with spring and “poems expressing the joys and the excitement of suddenly growing up.” Summer brings “more serious thoughts about a real world full of real people.” Lori Montgomery’s struggles come into focus in autumn, “a time of depression and lonp|in*c Tm-nine to God ...

no one else will listen.” Finally comes winter, “a gift of goodbye. Thru death will come new life and anew beginning.” Perhaps Lori Montgomery’s writings will mean little to anyone who has not asked the questions she asked or felt the frustration she must have felt seeking answers that seemingly do not exist in this life. But for anyone who has experienced the same struggles Lori Montgomery faced, seeking answers to the same insolvable questions, her writings will strike a responsive chord as cries from one’s very soul. “There is so much to say...but so little to be said,” Lori wrote. Only one who has come to realize the complexity of life and the inadequacy of words to express that complexity will understand her thought or appreciate her writing. What was the purpose of Lori Montgomery’s life? If an answer can be found, her parents Jerry and Priscilla, former residents of Nappanee, believe that it was found in her writings. Hence “Dreams to Decide.” Lori wrote, “Things don’t really matter now ... it won’t be long until I’m gone. There will be a few tears ... and some sadness. But mostly empty talk. ...then I’ll be forgotten.” Anyone who reads “Dreams to Decide” will not forget Lori Montgomery. “Dreams to Decide” is available at Christian Light Bookstore. Hospital.
