  4. Jacque Potter says:

    Lori,

    I am thinking about you and your Mom. She loved you so much and I am sure she was a big part of your life and the lives of your children and grand children.

    She loved reading and was knowledgeable on many topics. She was a role model for so many women in the work place.

    I always admired her quiet intelligence and loved to hear her laugh. She will be my friend forever.

    I think being loved by her family was the most important thing in her life and she would feel truly blessed to be fondly remembered by you all. A good life is being fondly remembered by those who know you best.

    Sincerely,

    Jacque Potter

  8. Jeannette Batko says:

    So many precious memories when we were kids — Billy and Alice’s farm, the Monroe Center store, playing word games when we were first learning to read. And as adults working together through real estate, lunches for gossip and catching up on grandkids, recommending books to each other. I will miss her. She adored you and you’ve been exemplary in your care. I left a message on her answering machine for you but not sure you’d receive it. Just know how sorry I am and how fondly I think of my cuz.
