    I will miss my dear cousin who is more like a big sister to me. I will remember all the fun times we had together growing up since I was 3 months old. I love you so much!!! You were so pretty, smart, and a special person. You had a heart of Gold and helped everyone. Heaven gained another angel. Lori will always live on in our hearts and souls forever. I pray for James, Anthony, Ryan and Dylan. May God give you strength and surround you with his love, peace, and grace during this difficult time. I am so blessed to have you in my life for 59 years. I will miss talking to you, watching movies together, and listening to music. Sending all my love to you in heaven. Your Cousin Renee.

    My condolences to Lori’s family. I didn’t have the privilege of knowing Lori as an adult, I babysat for Lori as an infant, toddler. She grew up to be a beautiful lady. I knew her Mom, Mena, also a nice, quiet lady. As with every life, I’m sure there were trials and tribulations, but I hope she had a good life through it all. And, she’s at peace with her Mom and Dad now. My sympathies to her family, who will feel her loss, but will keep her memory alive. Your cousin, Gloria (Soto) Vasquez

    I remember the baseball games at Kearsley Park, Mina and Jim would bring Lori, she was baby at the time. The last time l saw Lori was at your ma’s funeral. She sat next to me and we started talking about whatever came to mind. I hadn’t seen Lori in so many years. She was truly a gentle kindhearted soul. James and Anthony it’s all the memories you have of your sister that will forever be your lives. Your not alone in your grief, you have a lot of family that love and care about you. My heart is there with you. Everytime you look up at the sky, Lori will be smiling at you in spirit. Take care of each other and keep your spirits up. Lori is with your mom and dad now. She left her mark in this world. My heart also goes out to her kids. I love you cousins.
    Love cousin, Mary Soto
