Deepest sympathy to the Brubaker and extended families. Only a few years ago, I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with Mr. and Mrs Brubaker on their front porch. I´ll always remember how welcomed and comfortable I felt in their company. Through Lori, I see her mother´s kind eyes and radiant smile. Thinking and praying for you all as you grieve
