Dear Sherry, Jim, Jason, Lauren and Anna,

I am so sorry for your loss. It's been a week and it still seems unreal. I can't even begin to imagine the pain you must all be feeling. Lori's smile and laugh would brighten the darkest of days. I will never forget her. There is so much more I want to say, but this isn't the right place. I love and miss you all and hope to see you very soon. I will continue to pray for God's peace to be on you.

Dearest family of Lori. It is with a very heavy heart that I write this entry. I am deeply saddened at Lori's passing. We go way back to Jackson Elementary School. At Trexler and Allen we were always together. The whole gang. Even after graduation we remained in touch. I married and moved from Allentown about ten years ago. We somehow managed to find each other though. The last time I saw her was a few years ago at Old Navy with Lauren while I was in Allentown visiting. Lauren you were so beautiful and so grown up. Lori was working so hard, going to school and raising a daughter, I was and still am in awe of her achievements. I can't even imagine what all of you must be going through. Lauren stay strong, if you have half of your Mother's will you can do anything! She loved you so much, take her strength and love wherever you go. I continue to pray for you and ask God to grant you all peace in your time of need. Lori, you will truly be missed, I will never forget the times we shared. Lisa Barry (Scarcia)

To the Family of Lori Lizza,

You have my deepest sympathy in your time of loss. I worked with Lori at St. Joe's, and knew her as a funny, hardworking, devoted mom. I had not seen her for awhile, so this came as a shock to all her former coworkers. She will be missed, but always kept in our hearts. My prayers are with you.

Dear Lauren, Jim, Sheri, Jason & Anna. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would ever be writing this note. What can I say? Lori and I were the best of friends growing up. We both practically lived at each others houses. I was totally shocked at the news, it had been several years since Lori and I last spoke. But even though we had several gaps over the years that we didn't communicate. We still managed to reconnect, it was if time had always stood still. I will always cherish the time I spent with Lori and your family. Lauren, your mother thought thought the world of you. She loved you deeply. Make her proud, work hard and do well in school. Hard work always pays off in the end. Lori will be truly missed. May God comfort and bless all of you in this most difficult time. Love Donna[Hood]VanEtten

Mr. & Mrs. Yenser, Lauren, and family,

I knew Lori for what seems like a 100 years ago. We used to hang out when we both went to Trexler Junior High School. She was a year older than me and always looked out for me in a "big sister" kind of way. I was saddened to read about her passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficuly time.
