Dear Mom,

There is not a day that goes by that I don´t miss you. Here it 21 years later and it still feels like yesterday. I pray and hope that I am making you proud. I accomplished everything I told you I was going do. I am married to a wonderful man ( you would love him. We have 2 beautiful girls ( yes I gave in and had children lol). There is so much I wish could tell you. One day we will be together. Continue to rest in peace. I love you

Forever Your daughter

I just found this out and send my condolences to Lori's family. We lived a couple house away from her family, but moved in 1969. She was a peer to my Aunt who visited us, and kept her, my aunt from getting lonely while away from home. I was walked to school by Lori (and her sister Georgette.) I was moved away very early in my life and always wanted to thank the family some how. I have a lovely picture of the three sisters me and my Aunt Barb. When I find it I will try to contact the family and see if they want a copy. Again my condolences. [email protected]
