Sending condolences to Wayne, TJ and the rest of Lori's family and friends on their loss of such a kind, caring person. We met through my son & TJ being in the same classes at school and she was a comfort to me as we worked through Charlie's diagnosis of autism and establishing his IEP. I will cherish the memories of the times our families visited together. God bless you all.

Oh, my dear sweet Lori. What else can be said? You have been the rock for so many. Thank you for the gift of the visit we had this past summer. I love you and Wayne for that. I appreciate the butt dial with your phone about a month ago, as well - kind of silly, but you know what that means to me now. I always love that we always melted right into a comfortable relationship even though we didn't see each other for years. I love you and will miss you. You are in good company!!!
