Loris was a dear friend at APSU. I am a professor there and always looked forward to seeing Loris. She never failed to ask about how I was feeling. She was extremely professional on the job and some were scared of her :); however, when you really knew her you knew that she was a real sweetheart who would do anything for you. I will miss her.

Loris was an occasional classmate of mine in the 1980s at APSU. She was a fine person and a good officer. Please accept my deepest sympathies.
