Sorry for your loss. Prayers for the family
I am so sorry for your loss. I have known and liked Lori since she was in my 7th grade math class. I remember her raising money to help others-veterans and children's hospital- when she was a teenager. She was always a nice person.
You will be greatly missed. My prayers are with your family.
I'm so saddened that your no longer with us. Many, many lives will never be the same because you're gone. May you watch with the angels from above and guide your family throughout their lives. Your loving brother and his family Scott
