Lori,
There is nothing more to say than we are heartbroken. You were the light in our day, everyday.
You are missed so VERY much. The left side of me is now empty... You could never be replaced.
Our prayers to your family and those who loved you.

I am so deeply saddened by the loss of Lori. I spent time talking and laughing with her at the agility trial that day, and I could not believe it when I heard the news. Lori was always kind and friendly to everyone, had a great sense of humor, and will be missed by so many. I am so very sorry Shirlee, prayers for strength and comfort. My deepest condolences to all of you.
