Cheri and kids.. I am so sorry for your loss. She was such a joy to be around and she loved the kids so much. She was definitely one of a kind. Bryson had so much fun spending the night at her house and told me how her cooking was the best! My heart aches for all of you. May God give you the comfort you need to get through this difficult time. Love always

My wife Lori and I are good friends with Lorri and Paul, working with them at Victory, formally VCF in skits, Hell House, Precious Lamb of Glory and other dramas. I remember going to the apartment complex where her daughter Cheri lived and held a Bible study outside on the lawn and telling the young children about Jesus. On one occasion 2 young girls around the ages of 12 became born again believers in Jesus Christ. She was a grand lady and was an ambassador for Christ. You could tell she loved talking about Jesus and His love for all. She’s going to be greatly missed. Lori and I are looking forward to that day when we will meet again. Jim and Lori Young

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have known Lorri since grade school. She was a very positive and friendly person back then at Lutz school but had lost contact with her as the years passed. I am happy to know ( and not surprised), that she became such a wonderful mother and adult. My heartfelt sorrows go to her friends and family whose lives she had touched throughout the years.

Paul, Cheri and family,
Our hearts are broken for you and the grandkids. Lorri was an absolutely wonderful person to be around! Always with a smile and a gentle way about her. We were only blessed to know her such a short time, as my husband, “Coach Carter” coached both Kahji & Kelijah this year for basketball, but in that short time she & Paul both left a great impression. My parents enjoyed sitting at the many games cheering on their grandkids together with Lorri & Paul. It was clear how much Lorri loves and adores her grandkids. Please know we will lift you all in prayer during this difficult time and in the months to come.
Our deepest sympathies.
Bobby, Stephan, Reece & Ayden Carter

Kim Bailey
I am truly sorry for the pain you are going through right now. We read at Ecclesiastes 9:11 that unexpected events effect us all. As we patiently wait for God to restore to life our loved ones in paradise on earth, may the love of family and friends bring you comfort at this time. (Acts 24:15, Psalms 37:29) May the God of comfort be with you during this difficult time.
Brenda McCoy, (Dilts, Eversole)
Lorri was a beautiful person! I have different times in my life that she helped “lift me up” and get through them with her prayers and words of wisdom. I always had warm fuzzy feelings after an encounter with her! She always made me feel loved and beautiful each time! I will miss her smiles and winks and friendly hugs! I am still in shock, love you Lorri! Prayers for her family as they deal with the loss of such a wonderful member!
