Words are never enough in time of sorrow such as this, especially when a person like Lori is taken before her time. Gary you and your girls have my heartfelt sorrow.
I remember Lori from our high schools days and even though time has raced forward
I am sure she was the kind soul, she was back then. Now is the time to cry, punch a wall, have a drink and let out your grief…..which may take awhile. Let me know what I can do to easy your pain. See you sooner than later…..DAN

Jena and Jess,

To the Shepherd and Helmke families,
My prayers and thoughts are with all of you during this difficult period in your lives. Lori and I met at HML and I was fortunate enough to become one of her many friends. The last time I saw Lori was at our 20th high school reunion and it seemed like no time had passed since we last saw each other. Lori is an awesome woman who touched so many lives and who could make anyone smile. She is now with the the Lord and will continue to watch over the...
