My condolences to Lori's family. I first met Lori when Taylor and my son Tyler started kindergarten at SMMS. It was an instant friend connection. We became very close. We had so many fun times together that I will cherish for the rest of my life. We always enjoyed hanging out with each other and having the kids play together when they were small or their birthday parties celebrating . It was always such a joy watching our kids grow up. We loved our picnic parties or bonfires and concerts. We enjoyed going out listening to local music and dancing. Sometimes after going out we would still sit up and talk for hours laughing.There is no one I had more fun with being around. The laughs were endless. Thank you Lori for showing me the true meaning of friendship, the unconditional love we had for each other. The countless words of wisdom and advice.  I never thought I'd be writing something like this. We always ended every conversation with I love you.  Now I end this with I love you Lori~Ann always and forever

Lori and I — with Lori and Sue Ryan
