She endured many hardships throughout her adult life, but in true spirit, Lori persevered. With joy, Lori, we know in our hearts it was hard for you to let go because you loved us. We know that your legacy resonates. Though you closed your eyes in death, you opened them with God and your loved ones passed. We rejoice that you are free, and your heart is filled with unconditional love. You finished your journey well in the hearts of your children, family, friends and those who you knew. Though you closed your eyes in death on this earth, you opened them again to see the face of God. Our Almighty Father promised us an uncorrupted body and I rejoice that you can run and see, touch and feel. No more pain, and love in your heart. You finished well and strong. God bless. Rest easy now, for we will see you in time. In lieu of floral arrangements, donations may be made to the American Diabetes Association or to Pet Refuge.
