Thinking of my dear friend, Lori, this Mother's Day weekend. It was very hard to lose Lori and my Mother around the same time.
I remember all the fun we had while working downtown, and also when we hung out with her friend, Pat and her sister, Carole. I also miss her Mom as she was always good to me. Lori and I shared our future dreams, and coincidentally both married men named Dennis. I loved her sense of humor as she often made me laugh!
I was very happy when she became a mother to Barb!
Lori, I wish you a happy heavenly Mother's Day! I miss you like crazy, but I will see you again!
