Wonderful lady always happy
Lorri was such an amazing person. I am fortunate to have had her friendship for so many years. She was a very thoughtful and kind person and her laugh was contagious. Always smiling and spreading positivity.
Wishing Amy, her family and friends memories of her happy spirit, love and peace to help you through. I miss you much my dear friend. Until we see each other again.
As our Activities Director Extraordinaire at The Laurels, Lorri was a source of joy for our residents and her co-workers. She was absolutely dedicated to improving the lives of ‘her flock.’ For her balloon volleyball tournaments and all sorts of other fun activities, her patients loved her and her enthusiasm. They benefited daily from both. Later, when my mom, the Laurel in The Laurel’s retired, Lorri came and brought her joy through her companionship and incomparable skill at decorating a home for Christmas. When Momma passed, I kept many of the pieces Lorri used and the garland she made. They grace our front door every year and remind us not only of our Momma, but also of Lorri. Lorri is at peace now and free from pain. She would want you to be too Amy. May peace and your faith bless you and embrace you through this difficult time. I will see you on the 20th.
I am very sorry for your loss. Please accept my condolences at this difficult time. May your fond memories be a comfort to you in your grief. With love, Roxie Carpenter
Oh how we will miss you Lorri😭 We cherish every single memory of Christmas tree decorating, game playing, dinner celebrations, pumpkin carving and fellowship with you! It will not be the same without you! We are heartbroken that you lost your earthly battle, we will never forget you and all the love and everything you have taught us along the way. We are blessed to call you family.
Our heart and prayers go out to Amy, Julie, Dan, Pat and all of Lorri’s loved ones. ❤️🙏
Love,
Bonny, John and Brooke
