To Brian, Megan, Zach, Josh, Clint and all of Lori's family, especially her nieces... I am so sorry that you all have to endure this. Lori was a wonderful person, mother, wife and aunt. Just remember that what she gave you in life will be with you through her death. I wish that i could take away your pain, and ease your suffering. It will be a long road ahead, but i know that you have people to love you and comfort you through this. I know i don't know you all very personally, but from the bottom of my heart, if there is anything I can do please reach out and contact me. Brian, if you need help cooking, or cleaning or with the kids, I'm there. Megan, if you and your cousins need a ride to the mall, or someone to take you to the movies or anything at all please call, i know Lori would have done the same for my family. It is in times like these that we need to rely on the strength of our family, friends and community to get us through, and i know you will all get through this time of darkness and dispair and return to happier times where you will rejoice in the happy memories you have of your wonderful wife, mother, aunt, daughter and friend.
With love and sympathy,

Aunt Lori I miss you so much... It just doesn't seem possible that I won't have my aunt anymore. I have so many wonderful memories of my childhood with you.. I was always with you when I was kid...you did everything for me.. and took me wherever I would want to go. As an adult I have had great times working with you.. You were there to talk to me about gettting married and you were there for me for when I had a million questions during my pregnancy. It hurts me so bad that Brayden won't remember you. But I promise he'll know about his aunt and how she was so great to everyone. I love you Aunt Lori.. a piece of me will never be the same..

Do not stand by my grave and weep.
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am a diamond glint of snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awake in the morning hush,
I am the swift, uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starshine at night.
Do not stand by my grave and cry.
I am not there . . . I did not die.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
