My deepest condolences to all of Lori´s family as I just found out about her passing. I was Lori´s last student teacher in her well respected teaching career. She insisted on only perfection and safety at all times. Lori always stated that she GAVE me that "A" which I always corrected her with my response of, "I earned that A!" Over all the years of her student teachers, it was the only "A" ever issued. We remained friends for years and enjoyed lots of activities. I´m sorry we lost contact the last few years but she was often thought of and spoken fondly about. You will be greatly missed!

Sending condolences to the Family. I remember your Aunt well. She was always fun to be with, and always interested in how you were and how you were doing in school. I remember
her coming to my grandmothers cottage in Port Mailtland Ontario with my Aunt Dora and Uncle Rich. She would always organize games and sporting activities for us kids. She was a unique and wonderful person. I know she will be missed
