My condolences to Seth & the rest of the family. Lori was a great friend to many. Lori also was a great beautician. I know that Lori had been sick for a long time, but I'm grateful that she managed to pull out many and watch her son Seth become the man he has become. She passes on a great faith in Jesus Christ who comforts those who may be mourning at this time.

Lori was my very first and best friend when we were growing up on Mesa Lane. We´d spend hours playing and doing the things that little girls do. As we grew older we went in different directions, but would reconnect at times throughout our lives. Lori and I became close again during this past four months and would spend hours reminiscing about our childhood together, our parents, neighborhood memories, and sharing the good and bad experiences of our adult lives. It was almost as if we were writing our final chapter together. Lori, I´ll miss you so very much - but I take comfort in knowing that now you´re in the arms of your loving Savior where there´s no pain and no sickness. My prayers go out to Seth and the rest of the family.

Lori was one of my very best friends and we shared so many good times together in school and after. Unfortunately over the last few years we´d lost touch but I´d think of her often. I still thought we had time to create more memories but that wasn´t to be. I will miss her dearly. Rest now in heaven friend until we meet again Prayers of comfort to her son, mother, siblings, & family

Lori was my best friend since we were kids. We had so much fun growing up. From our travels, camping trips to our girls night ins. We had so many memories. Good and bad. She was so sick and now she is finally at peace. I miss her dearly.
