Lori had many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. In the 1990's, Lori owned and operated an educational toy store named "Time 2 Play" on Beacon Street in Waban. She later ran her own business of caring for the elderly. She had numerous friends and those that crossed her path immediately became a lifelong friend. Her red hair, her smile and her sense of humor will be sorely missed by all. Rest in peace beautiful Lori, you suffered way too long.
