You are my Best Friend... more than a sister to me. We have gone through thick and thin together girl. We know each others dreams, secrets, bucket lists, and we were always there for each other even if miles separated us. We played barbies together, we'd put on to-to's and pretend we were ballarinas. You were my maid of honor and I yours ~~ you were the first one I called when I was sad, happy, hurt ~~ who am I going to call now. You always loved a party and boy girl you should have seen the lineup out the door coming to pay their respects I love you and my heart and soul is broken into a million pieces losing my best friend ~ almost 50 years we have known each other ~ we were each other's lifeline ~ im sorry I couldnt save from this one

To Delmar,Nathan,Mitchele and Cameron,
We were shocked and sadden to hear of Lori's passing. She was truly a remarkable woman, always so cheerful and happy. Made everyone feel good around her. Enjoyed having coffee and a chat at the Red Roaster on Friday mornings after taking the kids to St. Martins. We are so sorry for your incredible loss and you are all in our thoughts.

I was so saddened by the news of Lori's passing. Lori was like a big sister to me. Each summer we would make the journey from Minnesota to Windsor to visit Grandma and Lori would be the one to take care of us little cousins. It was such a thrill for me to have her take us downtown and eat at the Woolworth's diner. I am also very blessed that I was a part of your wedding, Delmar. I was so happy to be your bridesmaid and it was a wonderful day. My prayers and love go out to you Delmar, your sons, to Dale and Neil and your families. I wish we could have lived closer so we could have spent more than just our childhood together. I have good and happy memories of those days and that will sustain me until we meet again.

My thoughts and prayers to Lori's family. I love Lori like a little sister, she's a wonderful cousin. Always a smile and laugh, she was always upbeat and happy. So many great memories when we were kids. I still remember her wedding and meeting Delmar. She will be in my heart forever and will be sorely missed. I regret we lost touch during the last few years. But that never lessened my admiration for her.
