My deepest condolences to family and friends of Lori. She and I worked side by side at TDS for over a year before I parted ways with the company. Lori was the first to shadow/mentor me when I joined TDS. I was intimidated by her at first, thinking I had to do my very best to impress her. Not long after, I got to know her and see what an amazing personality she had. We joked throughout the day and always talked about our "Aydan/Aydens." She loved talking about Ayden as she watched him grow...I the same with my son Aydan. I eventually told her that I was intimidated by her at first, we laughed about it later... I loved how anytime I wanted to vent about our jobs, all I had to do was turn around in my chair and there she was to listen and vent as well. I think we kept each other sane along with the other girls in our row. There was one day I knew I'd be out of the office and decided to leave a sticky note on her computer for her to find the next morning... she was having a rough day the day before. It was just a note saying to have a wonderful day. She was surprised and happy to find it. I'll miss Lori, I was glad I got to see her at dinner right before I left TDS to give her the great news about my new job opportunity. She looked so happy to see all of us girls together. Her smiling and happy was definitely how I wanted to remember her. Rest in Paradise Lori, you're an amazing woman and I am blessed to have known you. -Savy
