Mark and Anthony:

I'm sadden to hear of the passing of Lori. Mark you and Lori were good neighors. Losing someone you love in life is the hardest thing to face. But you most move forward one day at a time . You will find peace with this with the help of God and the people around you. I fill your pain ,I've been there. It will take some time, but Lori would want nothing more for you and Anthony to find peace knowing she is in a good place. Plus she will always be with you in your heart.

May GOD look over you and give you comfort each day forward.
