So sorry for your sudden and tragic loss Pat. My thoughts are with you. A quilter friend Liz
My children and I have missed you so much Lori since you moved back to Victoria to be near your mum, Adam and Cassey. You were a great friend and neighbor that I could always count on. We know your looking down on us. Our prayers go out to you Pat on the loss of your wonderful daughter. She touched many lives and we will hold her in our hearts forever. Love Kathy, Tory, and Angus
Both my partner Dan and I recently moved to Victoria from London, Ontario. On my way home on the bus from work one day with Dan by my side – I got talking to the lady next to me. We automatically clicked and right away we figured out that we were very close neighbors. That was when I first met Lori – and when we made our first new friend. Lori took us under her wing and helped us get on our feet. She helped us find our first apartment in Victoria, she helped us get all of our furniture and she even gave us some food out of her own freezer so we wouldnt be hungry our first night in our new place. We had made a forever friend – and we were so grateful. Lori was always there to lend a helping hand or to listen when we were having a bad day. The loss of Lori came as a great surprise. We will always cherish the memories we had with Lori – and also with Adam & Cassey. She taught me how to bake my first apple pie and how to make the BEST meatloaf. She was like the mother I never had. Both Dan and my thoughts are with her entire family and especially her children. She loved you guys more than you can ever imagine. All that I know now is that heaven has gained an amazing Angel. We will all have Lori as a Guardian Angel watching over us for the rest of our lives.
Rest In Peace Lori – We Love You & You Will Forever Be In Our Hearts…..
Love,
Angie, Dan & Dora xo
We knew Lori from the Y OSC that Solon started at last year. We were so sad to hear of the passing of such a caring and dedicated person. Lori was so friendly and quick with a smile and had such a friendly manner about her.
Our thoughts are with Lori’s family and friends at this time. Lori will be missed.
We were so very sorry to hear of Lori’s passing. We knew her from the Y, of course. Lori has looked after Jamie since she started at the Y and he has developed into a kind and caring little guy with her help. She was always ready to chat and laugh when we picked him up and dropped him off and it was always a pleasure to go into the room at the Y and smell fresh baking. She is missed by one and all. Our sincere appreciation for everything she has done at the Y and elsewhere and our condolences go to her family in this difficult time.
Dear Harry,
I am so very sorry for your family’s sudden loss. I never had the opportunity to meet Lori, but from what I did know, she was a wonderful mother and a good soul, who will be deeply missed. My deepest condolences to you, Kyle and Kevin. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Love Lucie
