Lori and I were close our entire life. Our parents hung out together often and later in life she worked for me several years. Her dedication to family was always top of mind. She loved unconditional and always stood up for “doing the right things “.
Although she could out fish me, I never held it against her.
My heart goes out to her children and sister for their loss. This world has lost a wonderful soul, as she had made it a better place while here on earth.
My only comfort is that she is reunited with her husband and parents.
Lori, I hope the fishing is better in heaven than here on earth. I will always love you cuz.

She was our secretary at Utiliquest. She was always smiling and had a positive attitude. She remained friends with all of us after she left. She will be deeply missed.
