.I loved her sense of humor and warm heart. Loved her husband Steve and sister Beth. My prayers are with you and hope you know she is in a better place and no more pain.. rsp.
When I think about Lori, I think of someone who was a firecracker. She was a lot of fun to be around and never a dull moment in her presence. She had a fierce and deep love for Steve, her children and grandchildren. She was a great mother-in-law and grandma to each of our kids. She truly would light up a room with her personality and would give the shirt off her back to help others. Thank you for being you, Lori. You will be deeply missed and cherished by many. So happy to know that you are now singing and dancing with the angels in the presence of your Lord and Savior. Praying that God surrounds the family with God’s presence and gives them to peace and comfort that transcends all understanding during this extremely tough time.
Sincerely,
Patrick Troup
