Ariana,

Please know that you are in our thoughts during this difficult time. Cherish the many wonderful memories with your mom at horse shows and the stable. Always remember her unselfish support of you as she helped mold you into the wonderful person you are today. It is those memories that will help fill the void you are feeling now. You and your family have our deepest sympathy.

Miles and family, Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I was very honored to be a part of Lori's beautiful memorial. She is loved by all. I have only known your family for a few years, but my conversations with Lori, made me feel like I had known her for a long time. She was very kind and giving, and had a way of making every one feel comfortable. Peace be with you and yours in your troubled times. Marilyn Cooley/ friend of Sweeney family.

I have such warm memories of growing up with my cousin Lori ... summers spent at her home in Lake Lillian, MN, climbing trees and exploring the woods and the big ditch, the HUGE family dog Tiny, and listening to our older sister's 45rpm records (while eavesdropping on them!) I truly wish I was able to join LaVonne, Glen and Vicki during this trying time, but my thoughts and prayers will be with them (and with Miles, Ariana and Aiden) tomorrow during Lori's memorial. With love, Rosalie Sundin (and Michael)

We share grief and sympathy in your loss. I (Charles) served with Glen on the Gustavus Adolphus College Board of Regents in the 1990s. We grieved the loss of a son a few years ago -- and now a daughter. "Enough already O God" is our prayer and, even more important, "May God bless each of you, knowing God's eternal love for Lori, as you grieve." Sherry Wilson was kind enough to share your sad news with us.

Words cannot express the intensity of the lose that we all feel. Lori was a wonderful,loving,thoughtful person as well as my true friend.

she rescued me many a time never asking for any explanation but always understanding just what was needed each time.



My wounded heart goes out to each of her family members whose love for her was always strong and constant.



She has left this earth but will never leave our hearts.
