Dear Mrs. and Mr. Boulden and family,
I am so sorry for your eternal loss. Lori brought a smile to face through elementary, middle, and high school. I am sure you dropped her off at my parent’s house in Pigeon Run for the elementary party. We spent home room together in high school.
Your daughter meant everything to me. I will never forget the impact she had on me. I am so sorry for your loss.
With love,
Cheryl Besosa

Elane, Dave and Jill,
We were heartbroken to hear about Lori’s passing. Lori was a beautiful, kind, compassionate and caring person to all that knew her.
One of my fondest memories of Lori was on my wedding day. Lori planned the morning of hairstyling for myself and my daughters. Her only concern was pleasing us and ensuring we left feeling beautiful. Thank you Lori.
Lori walked a difficult path in life, but she is now at peace. She truly appreciated all the unconditional love and support you provided over the years.
We are here for you and keeping you all in our prayers.
Love to you all. ❤️
Rest in peace Lori. 🙏❤️

My most sincere condolences go out to your family. You raised a GREAT one! Lori was part of my “Pirate Family”. Always thought the world of her. She was one of the sweetest and most salt of the Earth type of person that would always be positive and always be smiling. She knew how to make everyone laugh and would always light up a room. I am forever grateful to have met her and lucky enough to call her one of my closest friends during and after college. So sad and so young. thank god she is no longer suffering and can finally lie down and rest. Lori–YOU will be missed. Love Ricky and the rest of your Pirate family!
