I Will Miss Lori
I have known Lori since i was 15 years old and now i'm 25 years old.
Lori and Bob were like my parents along with Carolyn and Geri. I'll never for get my senior year of wrestling on parents night. I had the most parents there, Carolyn, Geri, Roger, Barb, Lori and Bob. I will never forget that day and I will never forget all the times i cleaned up there yard and Lori always feed me. She said i was to skinny and that i need to eat more. She always made me sandwhiches and brought me out drinks when i would be mowing up the leafs in there yard. Every spring and fall i would do that. Every fall when night fell we would watch the deers come lick the salt cube from the kitchen. It was the most beatutiful thing that i have ever seen.
I'm going to miss here alot. Lori and I shared some very personal stories and I could talk to her anytime. I'm sitting here thinking about her think she really isnt gone but when it comes tomorrow when i step in to the funeral the real reality will hit.
So tonight when i iron my pants and shirt which I never done, I'll be thinking how real this is. I have lost alot of friends and 1 really close family member and Lori will be the second really family member I have lost.
Lori I'm going to miss you. I love you like you were my mother. You cared and love for me like you were your own. I will miss you and all the holidays and kareoke we spent together. I love you and thank you for everything. I'm sorry that I never got to say it to you when you were here. I hope you can hear, feel, and see what i feel now.
I miss you.
Love,
