Lori was my best friend growing up. We would spend entire days at Municipal Stadium following our beloved Indians. Lori was a big fan of Tony Conigliaro and would write to him. He left tickets for us when he came to town. We were not close in our later years but I often thought of Lori and wondered what she was doing.

We were close early on and again more recently. Loved having Lori as a sister.
