To Michael and the children... my heart is broken at the news of Lori's death. She was such a lovely, talented, and kind-hearted lady. She was a terrific colleague and supervisor to me. I learned so much from her. And what a wonderful mom she was! Always looking for special things to do with and for the girls. I will miss her gentle presence, her smile, her love of family, and her passion for her work and the Red Sox! She was a blessing to all of us........

I remember with great fondness our professional relationship when she worked for Family Strength.
