Condolences

My deepest condolences. Lori was very special to me. She made the workplace enjoyable with her big bright smile, laughter and her dedication to making learning fun. Even when she retired she made a point to visit and ha e lunch dates with me. My last memory was an enjoyable lunch date and a big bear hug as she dropped me back off at the office. I will miss her dearly. Thank you for sharing Lori with us at work she touched everyone she came in contact with. When my daughter was young Lori wrote her a special story called the Table. It was truly an amazing little story with a lot of heart. Just so many memories. My dear friend rest in peace. Prayers for strength for all. Chris Meier and family.

My deepest sympathy to all of Lori’s family. I worked with Lori  at Teansamerica and it was an honor to have been able to work with this very special person. Lori was never without a smile and a kind word. She had a special way of taking care of our customers and she made it her passion to help fellow co-workers. Lori will always hold a very special place in my heart and will be greatly missed by many people. May all of your family find some small comfort in knowing many people are keeping all of you in their thoughts and prayers and that Lori truly touched every person she came in contact with.

I first met Lori when I was 19 years old in 1994 working with her at the Bowling Palace. I am deeply saddened to learn of her passing. I thought about her today, September 2, 2024 just as I do on many other ocassions. She has always been in my heart, for she gave me hope, love and tenderness during a difficult pregnancy. Lori and Tom, were there for me when I needed help and I never got the chance to say thank you. Lori was an angel, she would speak to me about her faith and we would attend services together at church. I owe a big part of who I am to her. I will never forget her, she was truly a beautiful soul.
