To both the Schiffman & McCarthy families, I'm so sorry for your loss.... I was a classmate of Lori's and was shocked to read her obituary. I've not seen Lori in many years but whenever I had run into her she always greeted me with a smile and took time to chat a few minutes. It is so hard at times to understand why things happen as they do, but certainly makes you aware of how precious life is.... God bless all who are coping with her loss.

The Stack family extends our condolences to both the Schiffman and McCarthy families. Having lived as a neighbor for over 35 years, we witnessed the children grow into adulthood and have their own lives. It's such a tragedy to lose one so young. Our children will always remain our children regardless of their age. Just shouldn't happen, burying your child.
