May God be with the family and friends she leaves behind. I think God knew Nathanial needed an extra special gardian angel and she was the only one who could fill the job. My blessings and prayers go out to all. Big hug to John and Nathanial.

The brief time that I knew Lori, was a very pleasant experience.
I am sure that she is in her Father's arms now.
God bless her family and friends that were with her until the final hours of her life.
