Lori was one of a kind. Her laugh and smile were contagious. She had a heart of gold. I will never forget the compassion she showed my daughter Sarah when she was sick. Like the angel she was, she took Sarah under her wing and watched over her. Lori was not just a co-worker, but a REAL friend. She will be missed.

Pslam 23 The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou annoitest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. In Christ our Lord Amen
