    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.

  2. 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.

    Our deepest condolences to all of Lorry’s family. She will be missed. She was a peach to work with at the Buffalo Ridge Gazette. Always had something funny to say. She embraced us as family during those early years of newspapering for which we always will be grateful. Chuck and Pam Hunt

  5. Dean & family –
    As you wrap yourself with precious memories of Lorry in the coming days please know that you have the thoughts and prayers of many with you now and in the days ahead. A fond memory of Lorry for me is that she always had a smile in her greeting.
