I am praying for my father and sister that they can stay strong and heal through our loss and i miss my mother very much. I was thankful she at least got to know that she has a grandaughter on the way now due in august & that mom didnt suffer in passing. "When one life leaves, another enters" & God is with Lori now rejoicing in peace and wholeness. Im here if you need me Dad & Mandy. Dont hesitate to reach out. Family needs to stay together especially when our loved ones pass away. I know mom is ok because she loved God & loved me too even though i wasn't the easiest of kids. Lori helped me to grow into the creative, curious, and God-fearing man i am today and without God and my parents adopting me or helping me when i needed them, i may not be here today. I pray now Pap and Lori are dancing with joy in Heaven and believe they are reunited with the rest like cousin Tony, uncle Joe, & her baby . Praying for peace and to reconnect. I was hoping to see mom again. I apologize for not being able to visit the funeral as work & finances wont permit it and we can't fly or travel states the last month while my wife is pregnant. I'm available to call though anytime. Thank you mom for being the best mother you could be. I love you.

My thoughts and prayers are with you as you celebrate Lori's life here on earth. She was a beacon in the dark for so many and I know she loved both of you deeply and dearly. Remember her often, share her any chance you get , and allow others to know how special she was. May she rest in peace knowing you will be ok together.
