My dear Lori, sister of my heart, this is possibly the most difficult thing that I have ever had to endure....life without you. You fought and won many of your battles with the cancer that finally ravaged your body to the point that you had to leave us. I learned so much from watching you go through your journey. You were courageous and strong, never complaining. You taught me how to be a better sister and friend. Lori, I will miss you every day for the rest of my life. The depth of my...

Lori's incredible strength was an inspiration to our family. She never failed to smile, show her incredible kindness, and persevere through the hardest of times. The love and support her entire family ALWAYS gave to her was like no other. Hers was a legacy that will continue onwards for generations to come. Illness was no match for a spirit as strong as hers. How grateful we are to have met such a remarkable human being.

My deepest sympathy to Lori's dear family and closest friends. I had the privilege of knowing Lori as a friend and fellow writer for the last 5 years. She demonstrated beyond all else how to live and love fully, no matter how much time there is. I will miss her dearly, and will treasure the gift of her friendship and her beautiful writing forever.

I worked with Lori at Tektronix. She was such a lovely person. She always had a smile on her face. It saddens me to think she lost her battle with cancer.

God bless you.
