To Family and Friends,

I met Lori when we both became 7th graders at the Coventry Middle School. We started out as jock rivals but in time became jock friends! In our sports, we both worked hard and had many good laughs on the way to being our best. I admired Lori's strength and perseverance. I last saw Lori at our 25th class reunion in 2003 and it was late that night near closing that her good friend Sue told me about her possibly being sick again. I was sad then; I am sad now!

Ricky, Pete and family,

I am extremely saddened to learn of Lori's passing. She and I were best of friends in high school and in college. I have fond memories of the many fun and crazy things we used to do at school and at our part time jobs. Lori's quick wit and humor always seemed to brighten some of the darkest moments. She will be deeply missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

My thoughts and prayers to Lori's family. I always enjoyed her sense of humor and hearing (and sharing) family stories when I would go to Dr. Moitoza's office!

Ricky, Pete, and family,

My family and I are saddened by Lori's passing. I will always remember her as one of the kids who loved to play baseball, "kick the can", or just ride bikes around the neighborhood. As a teenager, she was one of the better softball players in Coventry, as well as a good friend to me in high school. Hall of Fame catcher Johnny Bench has lost one of his greatest fans, and we have lost one of the friendliest people that I ever knew.

Peace be with you and Lori.

Peter & Family,
My heart aches for you and for Lori's children. We were childhood friends and softball buddies. I wouldn't think of pitching a game without my favorite catcher behind the plate. She was a beautiful person inside and out and I will miss her very much. Our dads are in heaven to coach your next game, my friend.
With much love.

I'm so sorry to hear about Lori. When I went into Dr. Moitoza's office she always asked about my brother, who she went to school with, and my folks. I thought she was doing well. My thoughts are with her family.
