  3. Dear Maribeth, Katy and families, Paul and I were sorry to hear about Lori’s illness and recent death. She was a wonderful woman who carried herself with dignity and was always on top of things and managed to remained current and open-minded. Lori had a dry sense of humot and was full of mischief. She was able to poke you and get away with it but she was a good sport about taking it too. She had a great smile and cute laugh. Paul and I always enjoyed the time we spent with her. We regret that we are in Florida and still trying to sort out Paul’s parents affairs and consequently unable to attend the funeral. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Love Rose and Paul♥️♥️
