To ALL of Lori's Families;
My sincere condolences and deep sympathy to you ALL. I did not know Lori, but can relate to what you are going through, as my Step-Son, Ben Tenney, of Antrim, passed away from Brain Cancer 3 years ago, after having 4 bouts of it, starting @ age 6, and passing away @ age 42. I respect Lori's strength and courage and ask that you remember the good times that you had with her.
