Lori E. Dahm

Remembering Lori and your whole family at this time. Our thoughts are with you.

I am writing this 10 months after Lori left us and my heart still bleeds...she was so special to me and I miss her dearly. I sincerely doubt that I will ever meet anyone as kind, giving and with the most beautiful smile as Lori again. She cannot be replaced on this earth. I will always cherish our times together as they were many and they were filled with fun and laughter. Nothing made me happier than to see her dance on a stage and look so at peace and free. I know you are up there Lori...

I have heard through the grapevine about Lori's passing, and am very upset. She was the best competition in the food science writing marketplace. I always enjoyed chatting with Lori. I could see her smile a mile away. There are no words to use to explain how I feel ...other than empty. Indeed, the industry she so loved is at a loss. Lori...God bless you in your new home.

We are so saddened by the loss of Lori. We hope that all the good memories of the wonderful woman you knew and loved are helping to sustain you and bring you comfort. We send our deepest sympathy.

Lori was a very special friend and her passing is devastating. It appears she similarly touched many people deeply. In SF, there will be a memorial/celebration of Lori's life on Saturday, January 13, 2007, from 3pm-8pm (perhaps going later). There will be readings/ testimonials from 3:30-5:30, and music after. We hope it will be in the style Lori would have loved. There will be a slide show, drawings, and other interactive media. It is open to any/all of Lori's friends/family. Location:...

Lori was a joy to work with -- an amazing person and a true professional. The industry will be at a disadvantage without Lori to challenge it, and we will all be a little more empty without her company.

Lori and I shared an office at the old Stagnito building, and she was such an amazing journalist. So professional, so efficient. I learned a lot from watching her work for those few months before she headed to San Francisco. She was so kind and nice. And a sight to behold in her leather jacket, strapping on her sunglasses to ride her Harley home. I'll never look at tulips again without thinking of Lori.

Quentin, Sheryl and Chris,

I am heartbroken to hear about Lori. The Dahm Family has always held a very special place in my heart from the very first time I met you all through DYM. Lori is an extraordinary person. She is greatly loved by so many, and will be greatly missed. I always enjoyed the time I spent with Lori and the conversations I had with Lori during our various DYM music camps and trips. My life is better because she was a part of it.

My thoughts and prayers are...

One of my earliest experiences about Lori’s personality was a story she coyly shared with some of us the day after Thanksgiving in November 2004. That week, she had just received quite an excessive and large chicken shipment from Tyco. Upon that shipment delivery and without blinking twice, she put all those samples in her car and drove to one of the local shelters to give away the food. A sweet and thoughtful act that was such a Lori character trademark.

Lori, my life feels empty and...
