So sad for this sad news.
Pray Jesus gives you peace.

What a blessing to know Lori the years I subbed at AES. She was an absolute credit / asset to the teaching profession. She was positive and always willing to help. Her classroom learning environment reflected a loving, nurturing atmosphere. Her Teddy Bears excelled!!! Her legacy will live on the in the lives of all she touched. She will be greatly missed.

Our family was so heartbroken to hear of Mrs. Tookers passing. My boys will miss her so much!

I can’t thank her enough for her kindness, support, and friendship. Every teacher deserves to have a Lori teacher friend across the hall. I love you Lori- forever and always! Southwest and...

Scott, Pat, and Family,
Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers as you go through this terrible loss!
Love you both,
