Dear family, My heart aches from the grief that you are suffering. Knowing of God's embracing love for you, continue looking to him when " He will wipe out all tears from our eyes, death, pain, and suffering will be no more. " - Revelation 21: 3,4 He says death is an " enemy that will be brought to nothing. " 1 Corinthians 15:26 It comforts our hearts to know this pain will be a thing of the past and through Christ the resurrection of our loved ones. We " do not sorrow just as the rest do who have no hope! " 1 Thessalonians 4:13 love from a stranger, [email protected]

We are so very sorry for your loss. Lori was like a mom to Marc and I, as well as being Matt's Godmother. Lori was such an angel...she always was there when we needed someone to talk to or give advice. There honestly was not a mean bone in her body. We are holding you guys so much in our thoughts and prayers. Lori left a beautiful mark in this world that is certain to remain. I imagine Zach has a new friend in heaven and that makes me smile. Love you all so much. Jenny, Marc, Matt, Sadie, and Frankie
