Keep Tori In Your Thoughts

Hello Pageant Family,

Very Sad News

We have very sad news to share with you. This Friday night we learned that Tori’s beloved Grandfather Don Flascher passed away (Virgie’s husband and Heidi’s Dad). This was a shock to all. The National Organization has been so supportive and allowed Tori to go to her Mother and Grandmother’s room for the terrible news. Of course, she was much shaken. Her Grandmother has returned home.

Tori Stays Strong and Decides to Stay

Tori has decided to stay for the competition. She said, “That’s what he would want me to do.” Her Grandfather Flascher was very proud of Tori and very excited about her competing at the Miss America’s Outstanding Teen Pageant. The Memorial Service will be held upon their return home.

Staying Focused on Competition

We have decided the best way to get through the week is to stay focused on the competition at hand. Please send your best wishes for Tori but we ask that you wait to share your condolences with her when she returns home (she may come home with a different title! J).

Please send your support emails attn: Peggy@misswashington.org

Tori in Good Spirits

I spoke with Tori last night and she was very excited for her interview this Sunday afternoon. The rehearsals were going well but she said that they have been quite a workout.



Peggy and Janet are in Orlando and I head to the airport in about an hour. I can’t wait to get there!



Warmly,

Sally and Allison
