    My heart aches but I know you found peace with God! I miss you already….your humor and appreciation for laughter I will miss! You were there for me during the good and bad times preceded with great advice. We laughed, we cried together and all will not be forgotten! Thank you for being my mom! I’m sad but happy that you found peace and one day we can celebrate and reflect back on many great memories! I will miss the barbecues and great times we had as a family. I again thank you for so many memories and fun times we shared. You will forever be in my heart…may you Rest In Peace! God bless you and thank you for being you! Your son….I love you

    Words can not express the love we have for our Mother and the loss of her. Our mom is gone to soon she had soo much more to say and so much more advice to give .. we will forever have her memories to cherish and reminisce with. Thank You mom for never apologizing for who you are and what you believe in because of that I’m who I am today.
    You taught me to be true to myself and love unconditional and put God first in your life.
    It’s never good bye .. it is until we gather again ..

    She was one of a kind, you could always count on her to tell you how it was and how she felt, Her devotion to her
    family was always first on her list and that never wavered in any circumstance. I remember dancing with her at Tom
    & Cheryl’s wedding where her humor was present while making fun of herself, she was again one of a kind and will be
    deeply missed.

    Our sympathies to the entire Gensler Family

    Lori was truly a one of a kind lady. She made me laugh every time that we would get together and cook. I pray that you all would keep your memories of her close and think on them often. She so loved her family.

    Lori, you were the greatest cleaner to ever live. I can’t believe you are gone and the world won’t seem the same without you. Thank you for everything you did for me. I loved you and I will always hold you close in my heart.

    Beloved Lori, my heart is so sad I never got to say goodbye. You know I love you and I will miss you for a lifetime. Your love and fervent desire for the Lord will always be remembered in my heart. I think about you every day. I can only imagine the joy you have now being in the Lords glorious presence. Although my heart is broken that I never got to say goodbye, I will see you again my dear friend.

    To Michelle, Mark and Cheryl, all the grandchildren, and Richard, you have my very deepest sympathy, You have the most cherished and loving memories of her. May the God of all peace comfort all of your hearts during this hard time.
