I am so sorry for the loss of Lori. We were all raised in Dermott and had a great time. Her mom was my Sunday School teacher. Mark was a classmate. She will leave an empty space for her family on earth, but oh what rejoicing in heaven.
So very sorry for your loss. Prayers and thoughts for family and friends. God bless.
Our hearts go out to Lori's family. It was too early but God has His plan for all of us. We will pray for all of Lori's family and we wish you all peace and healing.
May God comfort all her family and friends. She was the best friend I could have ever had. Even in her last moments she was concerned about everyone else. I will miss her greatly. My last words to her was “I’ll be seeing you.” We walked the isle together as children to ask Jesus into our hearts. I look forward to seeing her again.
May God comfort your family as you grieve Lori's death.
With our love & prayers-
Jane & Steve Wilson
