I worked along side Lori at the Faith Home. Lori was a hard worker with so much love and respect for the patients. As time went by and our paths crossed she always greeted me with a smile and “how you doing”. Love & Prayers to her family and friends ā¤

I met Lori in Flandreau Indian Boarding School in South Dakota. I was scared when I first got to the dorms. I remember the dorm manager walked me to my assigned room. She told me my roommates names. When I herd her say the last name “Talksdifferent” I thought “Oh she’s from back home, Fort Belknap.” Soon as I walked in the room, there was Lori greeting me with a smile and introducing herself. She became a good friend that I will never forget. She always had a smile on her face and would make everyone laugh. She had such a caring heart. We were goofy as hell together. Always being crazy and fun. Making the stay at boarding school better. Rest in peace my beautiful friend. You will always be in my heart. Love & Prayers to her family šš½ā¤ļø
