Lori
You've left everyone too soon but you accomplished so much in your short time. You left this life having fun and, I'll bet, with a big smile on your face.
Kristine & Kathleen
You guys were and still are the love of your mom's life. This is an especially hard time for you now and you'll never quite recover, but be comforted in the fact that your mom loved you each more than absolutely anything in the whole world. Follow her lead in being happy and cheerful no matter what is happening around you.
Scott
Lori always loved you and spoke of you as her best friend ever. She was always a strong woman and now will be there for you as you struggle through this and support the girls.
A friend

i was fortunate that even though we moved to North Carolina, I still had many summers staying with Nana, and got to see Lori often. I have soooo many memories of Lori, each with it's own special nuiance of her personality ranging from dramatic, kind, silly, nerdy.....ect, ect! Man where do I start.....She taught me from a very early age that Hairspray flakes can be the end of the world when your into hairbands, and that the word "frikkin" can be used in almost any sentence as long as it still contained the word cool as well. And that laugh.....OH my gosh!!! There should be a patent on it.
Lori, I was deeply saddened by your death and will always think of you and the many moments that we had together. My thoughts are with you and all the family. I am not always the best at showing emotions so i will keep this short and sweet, but I have a feeling you know what I mean. May god bless your soul as you rest in peace.
PS.....don't shake things up too much up there! We can still hear ya!

I don't really know what to say, except that my prayers are with you. Josh will miss his "Auntie Lori" as she liked to be called, as will everyone else. With much love and many tears from all the way down here in Oklahoma, (the rest of) The Paradis Family.

To my brother Lorne,
I am so sorry to hear the news of Lori's passing. I know how much you loved her & how much she loved you. I've only been fortunate to be in Lori's company a few times with you but during those times, you both seemed so happy together especially this past Christmas. She was always friendly & full of fun, not to mention her great smile! I'm sure the memories you have shared together & cherish will keep her memory alive in your heart & bring comfort to you in the days ahead. David, Shaun, Justin & I are keeping you, Jake & Lori's family, including her girls Kristine & Kathleen, in our thoughts & prayers.
Love You,
your sister,

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.

I have a hard time finding the right words or even the right feelings. It feels so hard to believe but the pain is so real. A memory that will stick with me forever is sitting on Auntie’s stairs and playing school and Lori and Sherri teaching me to read Dick and Jane. I was the only kid in kindergarten reading by myself. I still have this book and all 3 of my kids have read the very same book and I always remember when I learned with my cousins and my kids still like to listen to the story. I wish you knew how badly I want to be there with all of you. I can hear Lori telling me there has to be a way. She was always able to do things like that, find a way for anything and to her nothing was impossible. Please know my heart and my love are with you Auntie, Uncle Frank, Sherri, Bonnie, Kristine, Kathleen and Scott. We may physically be at distance but my thoughts are there with you. I love you all and will always feel blessed to have had Lori in my family. Lori, give Nana a great big hug and kiss for me. We’ll catch up later, like we always did. I love you.

Frank and Marylin I am so sorry for your loss. Ed and I just recently lost Kyle. He was 22. Our baby. I know we have lost contact for years but I am praying for you and understand the loss. It isn't something any parent should go through. Kyle died on the 22 of January of an unexpected illness.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To Lori's Family,
Lori was a great person, always smiling and making others smile. I worked with Lori at Wrights and every time I would talk with her, she would bring laughter. I will always remember lori, driving down the road in her convertible on her way to work, hair flying everywhere and her just smiling away! I am sure she was always such a great pleasure to her family. Lori looked out for everyone and if you were down, lori had that something about her that could bring you back up. I just seen lori a couple of weeks ago at Town Pizza in Warren with her girls and they all looked so happy together, lori commenting on the old times at Wrights and how she had already been at Optim for a year. We are going to miss her dearly.

Frank & Marilyn - losing a daughter is something that I can't even imagine. My thoughts and prayers are with you through this difficult time. God will be with you and will help you through it all.
Scott, Kathleen, Kristine - I know you may not understand why she had to go, but for some reason God needed her in heaven. She will be your guardian angel and will watch over you day and night. Remember that she loved you.
Bonnie & Sherri - You have lost a sister and a dear friend. I will pray that you will make it through this difficult time.

Oh Momma, our children and I are going to miss you so very much. Even with our differences, you were still my best friend and I will miss the support we gave each other during our good times and bad times. Our lives no longer feel complete without you, but we can still feel your presence and energy that will help us along our way. I hope to make you proud of raising our children without you. We pray you'll give us strength and be there with us everyday. I love you Lori and the girls love you too and they wish they could have said bye to their mommy, but our prayers will have to do. God Bless and know we'll be thinking of you everyday.

We are all deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Lori. Her outgoing and whitty personality will be missed by us all. I think it is accurate to say that each of us has our own special memory of Lori that we will cherish forever. May god bless you and keep you.

Lori you will be missed, I'll never forget how you always had a smile and were always living life. I'll never forget our times living in that trailer behind your parents house such a long time ago. We fell out of touch but were never forgotten.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family. I only had the pleasure of meeting Lori a couple of times, however, she seemed like a very loving and outgoing person. I am sure she will be missed by plenty as she was loved by all who she came in contact with.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Lori was a good friend of mine from Wrights, her contagious laugh always made everyone smile, we joked alot about our hair because it is the same and has been since the 80's. A snowstorm cancelled our last get together. I'm so sad that I didn't get to see her just one more time. She was so much fun to be with and was always there for me no matter what. I have pictures from our last get together that I will cherish in her memory. It's going to be hard but the good times will help us through.

Although Jack and I won't be able to make the trip from Ohio to the funeral, we send our prayers and love to Lori's family. The pain is still so fresh and her sudden death has left a hole in the hearts of those who loved her.

My Dearest "Sister", (as we called each other.) I miss you so bad. You wrote in my Valentine card, you couldn't imagine life without a sister like me, let me tell you its worse without you! You were so much to me, especially over the past 6 months. I am so very greatfull for that time. I want you to know I will do everything in my power to bring as much hapiness as possible to your girls and help Scott. And Chris, I know what you want me to do and Sister, I'm all over it!
I am glad you enjoyed life so much and that I was a part of it. You brought hapiness even in sadness, you gave un-conditional love, you opened your home to everyone, you were the sunshine in so many peoples life. May you rest in peace knowing how much you were loved. God take good care of her, she's so precious. Sister, you are in my heart forever!
