In Loving Memory of My Mom

It is with broken hearts that we share the unexpected passing of our beloved mother, Lori!

She was the heart & soul of our family — a devoted mother, aunt, sister and friend who brought love, light, & warmth to everyone she met.

She had such a creative spirit & a deep love for the little things in life. She absolutely loved jewelry — wearing it, collecting it, & especially making it. Her handmade pieces were her pride & joy, & she poured so much love into every one. She also had a passion for cooking, and her food brought comfort to so many — whether it was a holiday meal or just a simple dish made with love.

There was so much more to her — her laugh, her stories, her strength, & the way she made everyone feel seen & cared for. Her presence was truly a gift.

As we grieve this devastating loss, we’re also facing the financial burden of planning her final arrangements. We are asking for help to cover funeral & memorial costs so we can honor her life with the dignity and love she so deeply deserves.

Funeral arrangements are still being finalized & will be announced at a later date.

If you’re able to give, any amount is greatly appreciated. & if you can’t donate, please consider sharing this with others & keeping our family in your prayers.

Thank you for your love, support, and kindness during this incredibly difficult time.

— Jessica & Phillip
