Lori was a amazing person, she was calm and patient and she loved her kids. I was her older children’s baby sitter when I was a teenager, and when my husband and and I were married 25 years ago she gave us the gift of our honeymoon. Many prayers for her children and family for she was a great blessing to the world.

I am so sorry for your loss. All of you will remain in my prayers this weekend and throughout the coming months as you adjust to your new normal. "For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been thus destroyed, yet in my flesh I shall see God, whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another. My heart faints within me!" Job 19: 25 - 27

Rest in peace my dear friend. I will miss your wittiness. You always made me laugh. I'm sorry I didn't spend as much time with you during your last months. That forever will bother me. You are an angle with no pain and with Jesus. What a life. Enjoy being with the Father. Until we meet again my friend.

Praying for the family in their loss of this sweet soul. I knew her as a childhood friend and up through high school. Been praying for her for sometime and know she is whole again and free of pain in the arms of God. Fly high sweet angel, fly high.

I worked with Lori at SVRMC. She was always in good spirits and no matter what we had going on in the ER, We could always depend on her. She was a friend to all of us and she spoke of her children often. She loved you all very much! I’m so sorry she was taken so soon. Love and prayers!

I remember, always, Lori starting a shift when obviously not feeling well. She wanted to do all she could for her family, for her patients, for her team. She will be missed!
