There are so many memories to choose from, The one that always made us both smile the most was shopping at The Real Real at The Forum in Las Vegas and finding the $16,000 wallet we laughed at buying and sharing with each other on a month to month basis. I will continue to smile at this every time I think of it. Lori, I will always be with you in spirit 🙏 A donation has been made in your name at Shalom Wildlife Park in West Bend.

Lori always wanted to know what was going on in my life and always laughed at my antics. It just won’t be the same without her twinkling expression. and energy.
So sad to lose my friend Lori. We shared so many stories about our lives. She was always the first smile at the Mequon Studio when I came in. I will miss all her laughter. God bless you Lori.
Lori, your warm smile will be missed and your stern but loving call when we are not lined up for the next heat will be always remembered ! We will miss you and we hope you will find peace with the other angels up in heaven! Go Pack Go!
Lori was one of the first people I met as a nervous new instructor for the first time at a competition. She talked to me as I stood next to her (and her cooler) in the lineup and made me feel at ease. She had a way of making you feel like a part of the family. Over the years, every time I arrived at a competition and saw her face at the door, it felt like home. I will miss you
My deepest sympathies to you all in the loss of a family member. Lori’s smile was so infectious….Prayers and Hugs to you all …RIP Lori….
