May your hearts continue to be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together. My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May Our Lord's Christ Jesus' promise of a resurrection, strengthen your hearts until the day when death is no more, and honest-hearted ones will see lost loved ones once again (John 5:28, 29). In the meantime, may your memories, and the love and support of dear family and friends comfort you.

I'm in shock. Lori was a life-long friend. There was no one like her. I don't know what happened. I'm completely lost. Haley, Jennifer...I'm so sorry. We shared SO MUCH of our lives together. She was one of the most genuine people I've ever met. Miss her already.

Donna, I won't be able to make the service but I want you to know you will be in my prayers. Lori was a sweetheart and I enjoyed working with her for many years while she was at IFP. I think we should still put her on the football pot!

Lori was with our IFP family for a long time and we are so saddened by the news of her passing.
Even though states separated us, I spoke with her regularly and got to meet her once. She was such an awesome soul. Always laughing and cutting up.
Rest in peace Lori, you will be missed by many.

Lori what can I say....... Beautiful inside and out! One of the sweetest people I knew. I meet you at a very very young age. It was obvious you loved children! So bubbly and full of life. Thank you for your sweetness and smile! May you fly high with the angles.
