Lori was an avid coffee drinker, day or night, she loved her java. It did not have to be Christmas time, often Lori would watch It’s A Wonderful Life, her favorite movie.  Collecting pigs was also something near and dear to her heart, but not as much as spending time with her grandchildren. Lori was a wonderful grandmother.
