Lori was pure sunshine!  She always had a smile on her face and kindess in her heart.  I am blessed to have known her.  She was an incredible baker, mother, wife, and friend.  May her wings be made of pure gold. Rest easy my friend.

Will never forget

Such a wonderful person.  Always had a beautiful looking house and yard with beautiful flowers and decor. The one funny thing i will never forget is going to the movies in kutztown. We were around 13. My dad would drive us out there, wait till we went in and then come back to pick us up. The one time we tried to get in and it was " Animal House" "R", they told us we needed parental permission to get in.  I quickly ran out to my dad and got him to tell them it was ok to let us in.  He had no idea what we were going to see.  Lol!

Love and prayers to all of Lori's family. May God bless you with comfort, peace and strength.

Love,

Susan(sue weidner) Cole
