Remembering Lori brings a smile to my face. As a friend of the family I, along with my husband Jerry and daughters Robyn and Rebecca spent many a silly wonderful laugh filled time with Lori and her family. It was usually around a holiday and we would laugh till our cheeks hurt. She was a giving person in life and death. I consider myself lucky to have known her.

Although we were not close Lori had been in my thoughts over the years. What I remember most about her is that she had a genuine freindliness and smile that drew you to her. She was always upbeat and loved life to the fullest. She will always be remembered as an inspiration to all of us and never forgotten.

I remember Lori as a happy, courageous woman. I always admired how she dealt with her illness. Although I hadn't seen her in over 12 years I thought about her giving nature, in looking to help others with her illness.

To Lori's family I offer my sincere condolences. I knew her from grade school and after a short time before she moved from Hays. We rode the bus to town often and would talk. She was always upbeat and a very nice person. So sorry to hear of her passing at such an early age.
