  • Please accept my condolences on Lori's passing. I had not seen her in quite a while but we had attended the same aerobics class in the past. She was a very thoughtful person and I always enjoyed our conversations. Please know you are in my prayers. - Posted by: Lynn Gillson (Friend) on: Mar 06, 2018

  • So shocked and saddened to hear of Lori’s passing. My deepest condolences and sympathies to Darrell and her family. Lori was part of our group friends that hung out together in the late 70s and early 80s and Darrell grew up across the street from me in St. Vital. Although I have lost touch with them over the years I have many fond memories of the two of them and the parties she hosted at her parents home in North Kildonan. I think about those good times every time I drive through that area. She was one of the nicest people I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Rest In Peace nice lady. 😢 - Posted by: Don Kropla (Old friend ) on: Mar 05, 2018

  • So shocked and saddened to read of Lori's passing. We were together for many years at St. Mark's church and St Paul's church for our workouts - how she loved the 80's songs and routines!. I always tried to keep in touch when she stopped working out with us to see if she could come back because we missed her on her spot in the front row. She has many many friends in class that will be deeply saddened. We have so many great memories of her in our Halloween workouts and the Christmas class parties at Dale and Shirley's. Our sincere and heart felt condolences. - Posted by: MEL CLUBB (HER AEROBICS INSTRUCTOR) on: Mar 05, 2018

  • My condolences to you Kevin and Lori's husband and children! Lori was my best friend for 16 years...we did everything together. We lived on the same street, just a few houses down. We had the best childhood together! Many happy memories of Degraff Park swimming pool, walking to the YMCA for swimming lessons, stopping at the bakery and Zellers! Just growing up together! Your parents tent trailer. Taking my little sisters, little Lor and Bev and Kevin your little brother to Frasers Grove for a picnic and starting a bbq for pancakes, only to be told your too young to use the bbq. We were outraged haha... Love you Lori! Rest in Peace till we meet again. Love Debbie - Posted by: debbie froese mckinnon (best childhood friend) on: Mar 03, 2018
