On behalf of my family to yours we are far deepest condolences on this terrible loss. May the wisdom and Spirit of God be with you. Shalom.
Brandon, Cassie, Skylar, Ava and Olivia. All of Lorie’s loved ones, We are so very sorry for your loss. I could see from the pictures you posted, she was a very loving Grandmother and Mother. We will be thinking of you all.
I was heartbroken when I received the news. Lorie and I became instant friends at a young age and shared many fun times together. Lorie was a sweet kind hard working woman who deserved the best of everything. To be taken away by the hands of the one person whom should love protect and comfort you is one of the most unfathomable acts imaginable. May she be comforted in the arms of the Lord free of harm.
Your family was truly blessed to have you in their life, and her acquaintances were gifted with her friendship…
Cassandra Sorry For Your Loss…. Lifting The Family In Prayer s❤️!!
