Lori, I miss you so much and think of you and your family often. We had such good times leaving me with fond memories. We had the most incredible time as you drove us around in your first car. I must say that was the longest car I've ever seen. We managed to fill it up with laughter always. You had the brightest smile. May God bless you and your family. May you rest in peace. I love you.
