I just saw this about Lori and my thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. Taylor and Connor were around the same as my son Patrick. I remember getting together for coffee talks when the kids were younger. Lori was a very kind person. So sorry:

IT IS WITH A GREAT DEAL OF IMENSE SADNESS THAT I WRITE THIS.
LORI WAS A BEACON AT BABSON COLLEGE AND WAS ALWAYS WILLING
TO HELP. IF SHE DID NOT HAVE THE ANSWER YOU NEEDED, SHE FOUND
OUT WHO DID. I WILL MISS HER TERRIBLY AND FEEL SHE IS IN HER
HEAVEN AT PEACE BUT WILL NEVER LEAVE OUR SIDE.
