I knew Lori only a short time and in snippets. What can be measured from her life is the love and loyalty of all her who knew her and the “Dream Team” that took care of her through her last breath to taking care of all her “bizness!” To love and be loved as Lori was is all we can hope for.

“Love is not changed by death
and nothing is lost,
and all in the end is harvest.”
