Torri Wightman

Torri was an amazing girl in every way possible. She was beautiful, intelligent, talented and hilarious. You could be having the worst day of your life and she would find some way to make you laugh. All she ever wanted was for the people around her to be happy. And when you were with Torri, there’s no way that you couldn’t be. She’d walk down the hall and yell “Hey girlfriend!!” and without hesitation, you knew it was her.

Torri had an incredible smile and a laugh that you couldn’t miss. So many memories of her stand out in my mind. In particular, it was our music video. We drove around for hours going to different locations to shoot the “documentary of our lives.” We were just a bunch of kids, fooling around, having a good time. Little did we know how impressive this piece of work would turn out to be. Torri was extremely talented with her computer skills. That very night after our scenes were shot Torri called me at least eight times, each time saying “Almost done Laur, almost done.” The excitement in her voice was so wonderful. When the video was finished we felt so accomplished. Everyone loved it, and we had something of ours that was untouchable.

She was so full of energy. She always wanted to try new things. Boston was indeed one of her favorite places to visit. Most of the time, we would go in a group and of course, none of us had money. But we’d take the T anyways, and walk around, and take pictures, and laugh. But that was okay with us, because whenever we were together, we were content and happy. We’d sing songs on the train and obviously bother the people around us, without a care at all. We lived in our own little world, together.

Torri always had something to say, but she always had the perfect timing. She always knew the right things to say to make you smile. She’d look at you with her breathtaking green eyes and you’d know that everything was okay. Torri will be greatly missed but never forgotten. Her presence will live on forever. Not a day will go by without the thought of her on my mind. But this is not goodbye my friend, it’s just see you later. And I will. I promise. I swear. I love you with all my heart, forever and always.
