My Dearest Lori, being true to your nature,You decided to make your grand departure vs. T.V.'s Greatest legend Oprah Winfrey. The NBA rescheduled their postseason playoffs to avoid what you welcomed!!! That's Lori, and because of Lori, I am a changed man!!!She will forever be with us, maybe not in body, but if you listen really well, you'll hear the wonderful words of encouragement and love and compassion she shared with everyone that knew and loved her. RIP My Love!!

In life I loved you dearly,In death I love you still. You hold a place in my heart, That no one could ever fill. It broke my heart to lose you, But you didn't go alone. For part of me went with you, The day God called you home.
Only those who had the honor and privilege to know and love Lori can attest to the grief we bear. Lori was easy to love, pure and kind to every one she met. She had a beautiful presence about her, a source of glowing energy that was felt immediately. On behalf of the Knight family our prayers, hearts, thoughts will remain with the Caruthers family/friends in Tennessee and also the Ball family/friends in Windsor, Ontario where Lori called home.
