My sweet sister Lori, I knew the inevitable was about to happen when I seen you on Sunday. You were admitted to Palliative at Riverview Medical Health Centre on that Tuesday and I came to visit with you on Thursday. At 1:37 a.m. Friday. You went to join Mom and Dad, your 3 nephews and extended family. Words can`t express how much I`m going to miss you. I love you so much and know you are in the place you need to be after fighting a courageous fight against cancer. To Creator, thank you for the extra months the family had with her. To Ismael with his sons, daughters and daughter in law, grandson, my siblings and partners. . . my heart aches for all of us and even though we are missing a link, we will remain united and strong. RIP Lori
Lori was very caring and accepting when she was my mother in-law. Even when she wasn’t she still wanted the best for me and I her. When I heard of her cancer diagnosis I was rooting for her during her fight. The world lost a special woman, may she rest peacefully
Special prayers to go out to all the family, to help you through your loss.
My mother, you had the most beautiful blue eyes and the kindest soul around, you’re heart was so pure and filled with love and compassion for each and everyone you met, I will forever remember your laugh, smile, and the way you cared for others, you were the most selfless woman out there.
My son Mitchell was grateful to have a grandmother like you.
May you rest in peace mom
With lots of love, Michele & Mitchell.

Lori was the aunt of my best friend, and I have know her since I was a young child. She was the sweetest woman with the biggest heart. I am so sad she is gone, she will be greatly missed.
Our family has been rocked to the core as we lost another loved one in our family.
As many people know, my auntie has been fighting cancer and early in the morning of June 16th, she was taken from all of us…
She is now with my grandma, grandpa, my brother, nephew, nd cousin along with many other relatives.
My Auntie Lori is one of the most beautiful people you have ever met.
I had the privilege of having her not only as an Auntie but also played a bigger part in our lives as a big sister to me. As she was not much older than many of us. I have so many great memories of my auntie and growing up…..
One is my favorite was us nieces were her personal little Dolls, where she would brush, curl and lovingly braid our hair. She along with Auntie Sheila would fuss over us as girls loved it. We enjoyed it so much that they continued on into our adulthood.
We’re very fortunate that some of us had her with us during some of our special moments in our lives. I was very fortunate to have her present and support me when I had my 1st child.
My auntie had the privilege of raising 3 sons and at the same time was able to share her love and raise her foster children where she felt they taught her so much in life as she had taught them. She was an amazing role model to so many of us and a great mother figure she also just recently became a grandmother to little Mitchell. Her love was flowing and she always made sure you felt the love whether you were family or friend. Her life was her family and she so adored them. She had the most kindest heart… and was very sweet to anyone she met.
They say when someone leaves you early they say the good die young she truly was one of the best. I will miss you so much I love you my auntie… until we see each other again.
Please give a big hug to everyone… RIP Auntie Lori
I have no words to express the whole sadness on the loss of my baby sister, Lori. 🥹. She has been very forgiving to anyone whoever she met.
My wife Gail and I had many visits with her and her husband and their children and other foster children. We will miss her very very much…..
My sincere condolences to Ismael, BJ, Eric, Keith and family. Although many years have passed, I remember Lori as good natured and down to earth. Family and loved ones were her priorities.
Sincere sympathy. Though we never met face to face, we had many great telephone conversations. A beautiful soul.
