A Tribute of Love to Lori
By Diane Cohen
Yesterday I lost my sister and best friend. She was taken from us WAY too soon and will be terribly missed by me and everyone who knew her. She lived her life with passion and gave everything and everyone she touched 100%. She was the most positive person I have ever known and a fighter to the end. She was a wonderful sister, mother, daughter and friend to so many. I will miss her everyday for the rest of my life and will do everything I can to keep her spirit alive and fulfill all of her last wishes. I want to invite everyone to share their feelings and participate in sharing what they loved about Lori as well.

I miss you so much I still can't grasp that you are gone. I think I did get a sign from you today....keep them coming. I can't stop thinking about you when I am awake or sleeping. I pray and hope you are at peace and happy. I love you. Di

I only knew Lori though her visits to see Diane many years ago in San Diego. Each time we all got together she was a hoot...fun, lively and lovely. She helped create many nice memories for all of us. I haven't forgotten those good times and knoiw that you will be a strong light in the better place you've gone.
The world lost one of the best examples of what we all try to be...Humans with Humanity. All my best thoughts and prayers to Lori's family and friends. Diane, keep up that great spirit that you girls shared. You are the keeper of that beautiful flame now;) It's in good hands.
Love,
Tom Herrington
