I am a high school friend of Lori's. We would spend a lot of time over at the Dombrowski house watching old movies and listening to Duran Duran and Howard Jones. I remember Mr. Dombrowski always joking around with us.



My thoughts and prayers are with the family as you go through this difficult time.
