We are sorry to lose such a Good friend. Praise God she’s praising the Lord today. She will be greatly missed on earth but a great asset to heaven. God bless you all. We love you.
To the family members of my aunt Lorry, please receive my deepest sympathies. My favorite memories include the annual trays of goodies at our annual Christmas Eve family celebration. I know she enjoyed her time in the kitchen but the goal was always time with family. For years Lorry made sure we were on her Christmas card list and even kept track of my multitude of address changes over the years. I love that her goal was keeping was family connected.
