Dear Kay, Marty, Bradley, John, Brenda, I just learned from my brother Jeff that Lori died. I'm in shock and feel devastated for your loss. Lori was such a dear soul. I'll always remember our childhood friendship and the friendship of our families and growing up in Pleasant Run Farms.

I attended high school with Lori. I'll always remember her sweet, gentle soul. She had this smile. Though she tended to be quiet during school, I just knew she was quick and witty because of her smile. May she rest in peace. To her family may you also find peace as you mourn your loss.

Marty, Bradley, Kay and John,
Words cannot describe what a true and lifelong friend Lori was to me. To you all, she was so much more. A loving, wife, mother, daughter and sister. I am forever grateful for her friendship and love. As the saying goes, "Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Others leave a footprint on our heart and we are never, ever the same." Lori has had a lasting impact on my life. I will miss her dearly. Prayers for comfort and peace for her family now and always. Love you all!

Our deepest heartfelt sympathy to Marty, Bradley, Johnny, Brenda, Kay, and all other family and close friends. Lori's passing is difficult to realize at this point in our lives.
I (Doug), Daron (my brother), Johnny, Lori, and our parents went to the Northwest School District schools together, were next door neighbors, and have been family friends ever since. It has been nice to share and hear over the years how our families have been and have grown.
Lori was a very nice, caring, beautiful, loving individual. She will be missed by all!

Marty and Brad - We are so sad to hear about Lori. She was a truly kind and loving woman, so proud of both of you. I will miss seeing her smiling face every year at Oak View. She was so proud of Brad, and rightly so. She was an amazing mom, and did so much to help the NACS community. We spent many hours at school events together, and I will miss her greatly. Treasure your memories.
