We will truly miss Lorrie. She was a very thoughtful, compassionate person, always open and searching for ways to make herself a better person. She loved her plants and always tried to see the beauty in things.

I will truly miss Lori. She was such a beautiful woman and an inspiration to all in AA, especially her friends at the Braintree Eye Opener. I already miss talking to her on the phone and listening to her singing voicemail message!! She will always be in my heart and I know through her strong faith in God that she is truly at peace and happy. My sincere sympathy to her children and family members.
