"Mary Jo and family, I was scrolling through the obituaries,today and so shocked to see your sister Lori's name. I remember her well as a Senior while we were Freshmen. My sister,Julie and sister in-law,Cindy Manick were Seniors with Lori at that time.As you know well, my sister,Patti died suddenly during our Senior year. A sister bond is like a vault:solid and secure everlasting. Though nobody can truly feel YOUR pain, and there surely are no words to take your pain away, just want you to know our thoughts and prayers are with you now and always for such a profound loss."
