I'm going to miss you and your wicked wit your wry sense of humor, and our spirited discussions about justice for the left behind in our society.  But most of all you were an awesome cousin and your death will leave a void in our family that can't be filled.  Love you, Lor.

You will be sadly missed. You were a great mom and cousin.

Lori will be missed by many. Those who knew her loved her laughter and and was inspired by her teaching. She will never truly be gone from our lives. When we think of Lori we will smile :)

What we have done for ourselves dies with us; what you have done for others will remain in our hearts and minds.  It was a pleasure to call you my friend.
