On behalf of the Quinlivan family of Palm Bay, Forida I wish to express our sorrow for what has transpired with Lori, Bob and Nicholas. We know that Nicholas will be loved and cherished and held up and his parents are no doubt watching over him from heaven. We are one big human family. Our hearts are broken with the Lanham family and our prayers at this time are for them.

Nature
As a fond mother, when the day is o'er,
Leads by the hand her little child to bed,
Half willing, half reluctant to be led,
And leave his broken playthings on the floor,
Still gazing at them through the open door,
Nor wholly reassured and comforted
By promises of others in their stead,
Which, though more splendid, may not please him more;
So Nature deals with us, and takes away
Our playthings one by one, and by the hand
Leads us to rest so gently, that we go
Scarce knowing if we wish to go or stay,
Being too full of sleep to understand
How far the unknown transcends the what we know.

Lori was a big part of my High school years, I will always remember her cute laugh and her willingness to always put up with me! I finally saw her twice in the last couple of years, just recently a month ago! It was such a blast seeing her and talking about our sons we both had them so late. She will be missed and I hope the son will live a happy life with someone in the family.She meant alot to me and I'm so sorry all this happened!

Lori Lanham Murphy has been a part of our extended family for over 40 years. I have so many cherished memories of her childhood, fun family camping trips, her accomplishments, her happy marriage to Robert, and her joy in giving birth to their miracle baby, Nicholas. Myrna and Larry I ache for you in your loss of your beautiful, precious Lori. I pray that God will help us always feel the presence of Lori's love and laughter in the tough times ahead. To you and the family, especially Nicholas, we will be here in any way possible. We love you!
