To the Studnicka family,
Lori was my assistant at the UW School of Pharmacy when I came to Madison as dean in 2003. She was a delight to work with and was single-handedly responsible for breaking me in to a new environment and position. I remember her fondly and send my sincere condolences on her untimely death.

I loved her smile and her giggle. I don't think she ever said an unkind word about anyone. She will be truly missed.

Lori was a welcoming presence when I joined the School of Pharmacy family in 2001 and always was a friendly and supportive colleague as I started my career with the university. My sincere condolences. Ken Niemeyer

I remember when I first met Lori. She was sitting all alone in a mailroom/breakroom at Chamberlin Hall. She was very quiet, but I got her to talking and found that we had a lot in common. A bond was formed and was never broken. She was like a kid sister to me, she was my confidant, one of my best friends who would go to jail with me and say "Wow! That was fun!" I am going to miss her very much, and I am so thankful that she was a part of my life for these many years. Love you Lori. Audrey Fish

Wendy (and family), I am sorry to hear about your sister's death. You are in my prayers during this challenging time and always. It is always hardest for those left hear. Cry, remember, laugh and lean on Him who made us. Praying, Karmin Enge(Wendy's colleague at UW)
