I first met Lori when she was doing her clinicals for nursing school. She fit right in the craziness of the operating room and was a quick study. I always loved working with her as she was always cracking jokes and even behind the mask I knew she was smiling because her eyes twinkled with a devilish expression. Above all, she was a true patient advocate. Lori was a nurse anyone would have been blessed to have at their side. When she took the new job I told her she was too good to be sitting behind a desk, patients needed her.
We rode to work together at times and without a word would start laughing when we spotted a particular pickup truck that shouldn't have been on the road.
I admired Lori's tenacity balancing Clay's surgeries, her own health, work and her hubby. A great loss to her family, friends and profession.
