To the Bradstreet Family,

My name is Nancy and I worked with Lauri at Hope Network in Grand Rapids Michigan many years ago. As you can imagine, this is a shock for those who knew her, many of which still work at Hope. Lauri was very sweet, kind, thoughtful, and alot of fun. We have many, many wonderful memories that we will forever cherish. Our thoughts and prayers are with all who knew Lauri, she was a wonderful girl.

Sincerely,

Nancy Potgeter

I am so shocked, so sad. She was my best friend, my only firend while I lived in Ohio. Lori was a fantastic Mother. I would often ask her for advice. It was clear to everyone how much Tony and Lori loved each-other and their kids. I am so glad that Lori was part of my life and I am so, so sorry for the great loss.
