Lori you are forever my best friend. You were nothing but kind and understanding. You listened and offered unconditional love in everything you did. You helped me through some of the worst times in my life and helped to guide me to be the person I am today. Without you I would have been lost. This world has truly lost an amazing person and you will be missed every single day. Rest in peace. I’m so happy you get to be with Jim again.
Lori was a dear friend and caring community volunteer. In her professional career, she helped so many people. She was a ‘can-do’ person. Lori, you will be missed by many.

Lori was in College with me at Loyola University Chicago. We were both members of the same social group and enjoyed each other’s friendship for four years. I’ve seen her a few times since and hoped to see her this weekend, since I’m in St, Charles now. I’m so sorry we couldn’t have gotten together. She will be missed by many friends.
Lori mentored me as the Director of Ombudsman Services for many years. We remained friends long after my time with the Ombudsman Program, now called VOYCE. Lori had was a true advocate for everyone she knew. She will be greatly missed!
I volunteered with Lori at the Long Term Care Ombudsman Program as a Board Member and volunteer. Lori used professional knowledge and great common sense in her many roles at this organization. We remained good friends after our board responsibilities ended. She was pure and simple a wonderful person both professionally and as a good friend. I already miss her. Rest in peace and god bless you.
Lori’s spunk, energy, and positive attitude were part of her fight against the health issues until the end. She cherished her blessed life, and we are blessed she was part of our lives.
Her dedication, compassion, knowledge, and heart are a great legacy she left for the Brain Injury Association of Missouri (BIA-MO). Her time as Executive Director and long-time volunteer touched many lives and will forever have an impact.
Lori will be missed by us, but she is now with her beloved Jim.
Lori will forever hold a special place in my heart. We co-facilitated the Brain Injury Association of Missouri South Group for about 10 years. She was always so lively and even when it was a bad day she knew how to cheer you up with a smile, a joke, a hug and a laugh. Even on her bad days she was able to still smile. She is truly missed; she changed so many people’s lives and many she never even met. To say she was altruistic is an understatement. I love you Lori, think about you often, and miss you dearly!
Lori was very welcoming when I first began volunteering for the BIAMO. She was a true servant leader. Her energy and kind smiles brightened the lives of many. Lori will truly be missed but forever in the hearts of those she met.
Lori was such a loving leader for our BIA-South Group. She showed love to all of us by her actions. When I first started coming to our zoom meeting during Covid, she was so welcoming and loving. I hadn’t felt that type of love since my mom passed away many years ago. I did share that with Lori and I’m so glad I did. She never was too busy for my phone calls or texts. She gave me confidence to share at meetings and to do several things in life that I didn’t think I could do.
Lori shared that she was a grandma and great grandma. She loved her family greatly and enjoyed their visits. She had many friends, too, and talked about getting together with them. She had a very full life and spoke of her husband often.
Our group misses you, Lori. You will forever be in my heart.
