  1. As I knew Lori she was a very good friend — possibly like a sister. She was a warm and caring person who loved her family. She recalled to me many times the joy of the family get togethers including birthdays and holidays. When Lori got her diagnosis she shared that with me personally. I shared with her that I would call her every day , and I did. We chatted about many things, laughed a lot, and often shed a tear. I will truly miss my good friend, LORI. Fondly, Jackie Malone.
