Happy Birthday, Lori

Lori,

We love and miss you so much. The hurt of losing you doesn't get any easier. You brought such joy to so many people. Your talent, your grace, your beauty, your confidence and especially your caring for others makes you shine like the most precious star in the sky.

God loves you and has taken you home to be with him, but our hearts are still broken because you had to leave us.

Happy 51st birthday!

Love,

Mom and Dad

Happy 51st Birthday, Lori! I Love You.

A Very Special Sister

For many years we've shared our lives

One roof we once lived under

Sometimes we laughed, sometimes we cried

Through winter storms and thunder

The younger years have faded fast

We've gone our separate ways

But through all time our friendship lasts

Our bond in life remains

As summer brings the happy times

The autumn winds will whisper

A closer friend I'd never find

Than the one I call my sister

Happy 50th Birthday from Mom and Dad Good

Dear Lori:
It is Mar 01, 2010 and another birthday. Oh how we miss you!
Aaron and Kathryn were with our whole family in Orlando on their winter break. They are in high school and so intelligent (and sooo tall). Aaron is a senior this next school year. Kathryn will be a sophomore. Both are very athletic! You would be so proud of them!!!

The family gathering included GG and Poompa, Linda and Bill: Elise and Christian (her husband): Lynora and Sam and Sebastian, (an A student), and 3 year old Hunter who captured our hearts. What a beautiful little boy! Leroy and Patsy came from Texas. Mom rented a 6 bedroom vacation home as a headquarters for the occasion. We all went to the Villages and had lunch with Bob.

Newman is still on the job protecting us. He is now 8 years old.

With all our love,
Mom and Dad Good

Yesterday, March 1 2010, Lori would have turned the big 50! I wish we all could have celebrated this milestone together with her! It would have been such a blast honoring this momentous birthday event.

I think about my sister everyday and she remains an inspiration to me. Even though she's not here to call on the phone, I still ask myself "What would Lori do? What would Lori think of my decisions?"

In turn, I am really proud of Aaron and Kathryn who, coming into adulthood, show a great deal of compassion and intellect. Not only are they incredibly bright but they are so much fun to be around! Just like their mom!

I think I can speak for the entire family and say the annual family get together in Florida is just not the same without Lori. We miss her very much! But she is always with us in spirit.

Love,

Lynora Good

Happy Birthday Lori!

Dear Lori:

We all miss you so much. Hard to believe you would have been 49 today! It hurts thinking about how much fun it would have been for me, the kids and your family to celebrate your special day!

We're thinking about you! Aaron and Kathryn just had a great visit with GG and Poompa!

We love you always!

Love, Tim

Lori's Birthday March 1, 1960

A million times we've grieved for you,
A million times we've cried.

If love alone could have saved you,
You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly,
In death we love you still.

In our hearts you hold a place
No one else will ever fill.

It broke our hearts to lose you,
The day God called you home.

No farewell words were spoken,
No time to say goodbye.

You were gone before we knew it.
And only God knows why.

You'll be in our hearts forever ---- Mom and Dad
