  22. Sue & Tommy,
    I send you my deepest condolences. At times like this there are just no words left to say that will heal our broken heart, but love leaves memories, that in time can heal our heart. I pray that the memories of your beautiful daughter will be a comfort to you now, and in the days, months and years to come. Grief is the price of love, and love knows no boundaries, and I know you know this pain, because you have experienced it before and I pray that God will give you peace and comfort, just as he has done before. I saw Lori's picture and this quote came to mind, "and we wept that one so lovely should have a life so brief." You are in my thoughts and prayers. I pray that God wraps His mighty arms around you and holds you close and gives you strength, hope and comfort during this journey through grief, and loving memories to forever hold in your heart . We have this promise "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted".

    Love you and you and Tommy are in my thoughts and prayers,
    Carolyn

  23. I had the pleasure of working with Lori several years ago and the honor of being able to call her my friend. She was not only kind, caring and dedicated to her clients, but to her co-workers as well. One of the best social workers I've ever met. Her beautiful smile and spirit will be missed by all that knew her. My sincerest condolences to her parents and family that she adored.

  24. Sending my love and peace to her family with sincere condolences. Lori was always a ray of sunshine when we worked together at CHC with each encounter. The world could have used more people like her as she was not afraid to let her light shine to be used as a beacon of light to those who needed it the most.

  25. Mr. & Mrs. Follis,

    I am so sorry to hear of Lori's passing. My prayers go out to you and your family during this very difficult time.

    I stumbled across Lori's obituary while conducting a Google search on Steve's passing. My classmates recently went through our 1984 class photo to identify as many classmates as we could. Unfortunately, I did not see Steve in the group photo; he must have been absent that day.

    My sister and her husband live just down the road from Longview in Hallsville.
    My parents, David and Kittie, still live on Shelly Drive in Nederland. My brother Alan and his daughter Kayla live with them.

    Again, my heart goes out to your family. May God bless you during your time of grief.

    Sincerely,
    Lisa Kay Miller
