I loved Lori and I am so glad I was able to visit with her and all the family a couple of times over the past five years. Lots of love to all.

So sorry to hear of the passing of your mom. I worked many, many years with her at Otis (yes, some of us are still working). She brought us many laughs with her stories. She was proud of you all, as well as the grandkids. Every once in a while, her name still comes up and we all wondered how she was doing. May I pass along our sympathies to the entire family from us who worked with her here at Otis Elevator.
