I was in disbelief when I heard the news of Lori. We texted just the night before. We were not just neighbors, but friends who could make each other laugh and enjoyed each other´s company.
My deepest sympathies to Kari and your entire extended family. I will also miss my friend and am lucky to have known and loved her.

I have too many memories to list, too many teenage secrets, joys, tears to share. My friend, my bridesmaid. May she rest in peace in the arms of our Lord.

I met Lori many years ago when I boys played football. She was such a fun and caring person. My thoughts are with Jeff,Kerri and Vinny. May your mom's memory give you comfort.

Lori was a dear friend, in the short time I got to know her. She was in a discipleship quad with me at Most Holy Trinity and was also a member of our Ladies Auxiliary. She was very passionate about her beliefs and her family. She would beam with joy as she shared about her grandchildren. She really was a special person, and I am thankful that I had the chance to know her. My condolences to her family and friends. May she rest in the peace of Christ.
