I am writing this 10 months after Lori left us and my heart still bleeds...she was so special to me and I miss her dearly. I sincerely doubt that I will ever meet anyone as kind, giving and with the most beautiful smile as Lori again. She cannot be replaced on this earth. I will always cherish our times together as they were many and they were filled with fun and laughter. Nothing made me happier than to see her dance on a stage and look so at peace and free. I know you are up there Lori dancing away, and we will dance together again someday. My thoughts are with your family always, and you are always in my thoughts.
I love you,
Ann

I have heard through the grapevine about Lori's passing, and am very upset. She was the best competition in the food science writing marketplace. I always enjoyed chatting with Lori. I could see her smile a mile away. There are no words to use to explain how I feel ...other than empty. Indeed, the industry she so loved is at a loss. Lori...God bless you in your new home.

Lori was a very special friend and her passing is devastating. It appears she similarly touched many people deeply. In SF, there will be a memorial/celebration of Lori's life on Saturday, January 13, 2007, from 3pm-8pm (perhaps going later). There will be readings/ testimonials from 3:30-5:30, and music after. We hope it will be in the style Lori would have loved. There will be a slide show, drawings, and other interactive media. It is open to any/all of Lori's friends/family. Location: Project Open Hand, 730 Polk St between Eddy & Ellis), 4th Floor, San Francisco, CA 94109. We hope to see you there. If you have questions, please free to contact me at 415/999-2585. Love to all who loved Lori. Xo

Lori was a joy to work with -- an amazing person and a true professional. The industry will be at a disadvantage without Lori to challenge it, and we will all be a little more empty without her company.

Lori and I shared an office at the old Stagnito building, and she was such an amazing journalist. So professional, so efficient. I learned a lot from watching her work for those few months before she headed to San Francisco. She was so kind and nice. And a sight to behold in her leather jacket, strapping on her sunglasses to ride her Harley home. I'll never look at tulips again without thinking of Lori.

Quentin, Sheryl and Chris,
I am heartbroken to hear about Lori. The Dahm Family has always held a very special place in my heart from the very first time I met you all through DYM. Lori is an extraordinary person. She is greatly loved by so many, and will be greatly missed. I always enjoyed the time I spent with Lori and the conversations I had with Lori during our various DYM music camps and trips. My life is better because she was a part of it.
My thoughts and prayers are forever with your family.

One of my earliest experiences about Lori’s personality was a story she coyly shared with some of us the day after Thanksgiving in November 2004. That week, she had just received quite an excessive and large chicken shipment from Tyco. Upon that shipment delivery and without blinking twice, she put all those samples in her car and drove to one of the local shelters to give away the food. A sweet and thoughtful act that was such a Lori character trademark.
Lori, my life feels empty and ungenerous without you. Thank you for having shared so much of yourself with many of us.
Dear Dahm family, praying for your peace during these challenging times.
With respect and love
Silvia

We are so sad to lose such a bright and beautiful light in our lives.
You remain in my thoughts and prayers.
Much love,

Dear Sheryl, Quentin & Chris:
As you saw last week, Lori had many, many friends who loved her here in San Francisco. I was fortunate, and blessed, to know Lori from her very first days here. What she accomplished in leading our Burning Man group was extraordinary, not only for the sheer physicial and emotional difficulty of the work, but the courage Lori showed in overcoming her fears that things might go awry. She grew from year to year, when she could easily have given up and left the leadership burden to someone else. She learned how to be resourceful, and she developed confidence she did not previously have. Most important to me - Lori always came through - she always did what she said she would do. In doing so Lori took a huge burden off me personally that I will always be grateful for. I lost my co-captain.
Lori was so delightful - charming, beautiful, and she had a mischievous, fun side that I'll miss terribly.
She has been in my thoughts constantly these past days. I hope that you are finding some comfort in this terrible time. Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love,
John

Mr. & Mrs. Dahm,
I'm yet another person at Stagnito Communications who was given the wonderful opportunity to get to know your daughter.
Lori and I once spent three days together visiting clients out East. It was during this time that, not only was I able to get to know Lori much better, but also had the opportunity to see how other people reacted to her, both new acquaintances and old friends.
Old friends, of course, lit up when they got to see her. But, it turned out people who were introduced to her for the first time reacted nearly as favorably to her charm, wit and intelligence. And, by the time we wrapped up our meeting, these new friends were asking when they might see her the next time.
For myself, I was always grateful to have had the experience, as it gave me a bond with Lori that was reconnected every time I got to see her. She was a beautiful woman, in every way, and I'll always remember her with a radiant smile.
Peace be with you and Lori.

Lori had the cubicle next to mine at Putman, and we came to Stagnito together. Putman was her first journalism job. I was sort of a quasi-mentor to her. I say "quasi" because with her intelligence and eagerness to learn, she really didn't need much mentoring. She developed full journalism skills in about nothing flat.
She was a beautiful girl and a wonderful human being, and I miss her very much. Her intelligence, her humor, and her vibrancy brightened the day of everyone who came in contact with her. My deepest condolences to her friends and family.

Quentin and Sheryl: We were so saddened to learn of Lori's death. She was a special childhood friend for our daughter, and we always considered her to be a beautifully unique person. We hope you will feel God's comforting, healing presence at this difficult time.

Those of us that worked with Lori at McCormick have no trouble remembering her, as she was a beautiful person; intelligent, caring, clever and a great writer. Lori had a positive impact on those she worked with...and had the force of character to make her very easy(and fun!) to be with and very memorable. I have not spoken with Lori in many years, yet feel this loss as if she worked with us still - she was that sort of force. I hope she has found peace.

I was so saddened to hear today of Lori's passing. She was a wonderful person who always brightened a room. I enjoyed working with her at McCormick, and then being interviewed by her in her writing career. She was a friend to many, and will be sadly missed in the food indusrty. God Bless.

Lori --
Ever since I heard about your death, I've been thinking about you constantly. I can't believe you left so abruptly - without even saying goodbye. As I'm thinking about how life without you will be, I fondly look at the beautiful desk you gave me more than 8 years ago.
You were more than a friend to me. You were a mentor and a soulmate. You listened and understood me when I thought no one else would. In fact, you gave me life-altering advice. And I remember sharing how great things are with me just a few weeks ago. The goodness in my life came from you.
I am so sick with the thought of never seeing your smiling face again or hearing you laugh. I don't know how you could have left so many people who loved you so dearly. It's heartbreaking. I will continue to pray for you and toast to you.
I can't wait to see you again.
All my love -
Erin

Dear Dr. and Mrs. Dahm,
Lori was always a joy for those of us at Stagnito. We just loved being around her. I always especially enjoyed her intelligence, wit, and genuine interest in other people. I know it sounds like a cliche, but she gave so much to so many, and we're all better for having known her.

Dear Dr. and Mrs. Dahm,
As a colleague here at Stagnito/Ascend and at Food Processing magazine, I knew Lori as a truly lovely, kind and intelligent person. I especially appreciated her empathetic nature and introspective approach to life. I am saddened beyond measure at this loss and hope you will find comfort in knowing that she was loved and admired by so many.

I was one of many Stagnito Communications employees who worked indirectly with Lori and was very sad to hear the news. The few times I met Lori I was cheered by her smile and lucky to be in presence. My thoughts and prayers are with the Dahm family during this time.

Lori,
It seems like every time I think back to all our great times together in high school, I find myself smiling and chuckling! I am so glad we got to reconnect this last year and catch up on where our lives have taken us!
My heart goes out to your family. My prayers are with you and them at this time.

I am still in disbelief that I am writing in this book to say goodbye to you. All of our goodbyes in the past where with smiles knowing that we had just enjoyed our time together and we would see each other again. No matter what the situation, our times together always had plenty of laughs and plenty of smiles and that is how I will always remember you!!
You will always be with me on my bike everytime I ride and I know that you will keep me safe, for that I thank you. You will always be in my heart and will never be forgotten.
Thank you for coming into my life and making our short time together truly wonderful.
I Love You
Mike
