To a beautiful lady who showed love, compassion, and was a role model for all to follow. You will always be thought of the best aunt anyone could wish for. Memories will last a lifetime.
A very special Aunt always remembered for her joyful spirit and loving heart. So blessed to have had her in my life.

Hi Lori – saw the notice of your Mom’s passing in the paper and just wanted to express my sympathy. Hope things are well with you and Skyler. I do nod occasionally at that north-east corner of St. Peter’s as I’m driving down Huron. Lots of memories.
Take care. Herbert
Dear Lori, Please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your mom. She was a very special lady.
Lori and Larry…your Mom’s smile shows all the kindness and welcome she always gave to others. She was certainly a fun and easy lady to be around as we were all growing up. Sorry for your loss.
So sorry to learn of your mom’s passing. Had I known at the time I would have tried hard to find a way to London! Wish we had all met over the years….so many cousins I have never met. With sympathy & love to all. Cousin Min
