Update:

My heart is heavy to write this. On the evening of November 4th my mom Lori passed on to heaven comfortably. She was surrounded by those she loved and that loved her. She had been fighting this battle so hard but it became just too much. We are very saddened to have lost such an amazing person. Anybody who knows my mom knows that she was such a sweet soul with a fire side! She was a provider, a protector, a lover, the very best mom! She will never be forgotten.

We are now raising funds to help with the services.

I am Brittani, as most of you know I am Loris (aka Momma Lori) daughter. Recently my mom was diagnosed with throat and neck cancer unexpectedly. It was the news no child wants to hear nonetheless we were going to fight. We knew it was not going to be easy, her spirits have been high. She told me “whatever I have do to do I’m gonna do it because I have to do it for my kids.” My mom is a fighter and always has been. She has provided for us kids (as I am one of 4), since we were born. Being faced with so many obstacles that she overcame while always making sure we were taken care of. She is also the bonus momma to all of my friends and my brothers friends who call her “Momma Lori”. She is so very loved and known as the cool mom. She will listen to you on your worst days and laugh with you on your best days. Since I was a baby and since I could remember she was ALWAYS working every day and rarely taking a day off. She always gives her all while she is working & always goes above and beyond for any customer or service she provides at work. She is the absolute strongest woman that I know.

While we were preparing her for treatments and getting everything situated with her medical providers to start treatment she collapsed at work on Thursday 10/5 and was rushed by ambulance to the emergency department, where we thought she may spend a night but we were unexpectedly met with the terms of her being hospitalized for much longer than a night. My mom was not expecting to be out of work through this, but unfortunately she has to, to allow her to become stronger for her treatments, which has also taken a financial toll on my family. Not only has my mom been out of work but my dad has also. This not only has this affected them financially but mentally, emotionally, and physically as well. This is just the beginning of a long fight and journey ahead. I ask that if you can donate anything to help cover medical and other expenses, it will be more than appreciated by me and my family through this difficult time.

Anybody who knows my mom knows she is the most selfless, caring, kind hearted, loving woman and so much more. She would, with no hesitation, do the same for anybody who needed it. The last thing I want is for my parents to have to stress about how the next bill will be paid, how to put gas in the car to be able to be with my mom in a hospital miles away from their home. If a donation cannot be made I ask that for just a moment even 20 seconds to just pray for my incredibly strong mom and family ❤️

I appreciate the time anybody took to read this, donations, and any prayers for my family through one of the hardest things we have been faced with.

The Lord sustains him on his sickbed; in his illness you restore him to full health.
