My deepest condolences to you Mike and your entire family. I only met you a few times at the Midland Legion when you and Lori were collecting money for their special big dinners. However, I worked with Lori at Dow Chemical in the Packaging and Design department from 1984until 1990. Lori was excellent at her job and always had a big smile for everyone! I am so saddened by the loss of Lori! Warm regards, Dolores
