This makes me so sad. My children went to school with Anna and Tim and I have memories of visiting with Lori while at school events, games, etc. She was a very kind person, and I cannot imagine the profound loss to her family and close friends. Doug, Keith, Anna and Tim; I am heartbroken for you.

Back in soccer days, our son, Robby Kvalheim, and Keith were on the same team. I always enjoyed Lori’s company and I’m so sad to learn of her passing. Blessings upon the whole family.

I am so very sorry to the family for their loss. My older two children were in classes with Anna and Tim at Schmitz Park and Madison. I enjoyed many a time volunteering with Lori. I especially remember her infectious laughter.

My heartfelt condolences to the Lobby Family on the loss of Lori. Our kids went to school together. Lori always had a brilliant smile and a kind word whenever I would run into her–usually standing in line at the grocery store. I’m grateful to have known her. She will be missed…and never forgotten!

Sorry, comment time is over.
