Yesterday
Lori was such a calming presence at the hospital. She always had a smile on her face and was one of the kindest, sweetest people I´ve ever met. Lori was an amazing nurse. She always knew the right thing to say or do in the midst of a difficult situation. So sorry for your loss. Rest in peace, Lori
