Sad news about Lori
 

I got some really sad news this week about Lori that posts here alot and is very helpful especially for Vegas and London. Her husband called and said she had a heart attack last week and died. I met her here on this website 7 years ago and she has helped me with alot of information for trip planning and we became good friends. She will be missed. I plan to post this on the Europe site also.

Very sad, so sorry to hear about this.

Oh no! How sad...she was just posting this past month..
Condolences to her family , she will be missed here too ((F))

I looked at the post a reply box for 5 minutes....stunned and speechless.

Lori was wonderful. She and her husband,family are in my heart, as you are Sheila and the loss of a special friendship.

A sad loss for her family, her friends and for us.

Very sad.

Lori was the resident expert on Vegas, indeed. Sad news, but thanks for making us all aware of it.

Yes, thank you so much for posting this. Please give her husband my sympathy and let him know she'll be missed here.

This is so sad. Please pass on condolences to Lori's family.

I just went through to see some of her posts. This is quite a loss, and I'm very sorry to hear that Lori is gone.

Yes, this is sad news. Lori will certainly be missed.

Wow! I don't know what to say. That's such shocking news. She will definitely be missed. I will keep you, Sheila, and her husband in my thoughts.

topping for any that missed this sad news

Sheila1954: I am so sorry to hear about your friend, Lori. Please tell Lori's husband that all of Lori's friends here are missing Lori. We are thinking about Lori's husband & his family as they struggle to make sense of this. One day at a time...

Very sad.

Lori also gave a lot of good advice for Hawaii.

She will be missed.

Thank you for letting us know. Our heartfelt sympathy to her family.

Thanks for posting Sheila . . . I, too, met Lori here on this board about 5 years ago when I was planning a trip to London and inquiring about an apartment.

We immediately became fast friends and emailed every couple of days. I did not hear from her last week and just passed it off to her catching back up from a trip to Las Vegas. My heart just about broke when John called and told me the bad news.

I am missing her terribly.

So sorry to hear about Lori. She always gave help -

The last time was when we went to Vegas in Dec for my b-day and she gave me really good advice - saved me money and time.
So many posts over the years - & such a nice person.

My heartfelt sympathy to her family. She will be missed by Fodorites.

I know it is so sad that I just can't get over it. Sandy, I was in such shock that I forgot to ask about services, etc. Did John tell you anymore than it was a heart attack? I was driving and in shock and I didn't ask many questions. I am going to wait a couple of weeks and call and check on him.
She was such a sweet lady to swap emails with. Did any of you ever meet her in person? I had planned to but just didn't get around to it and now I am sorry.
I plan to send John a card and I will tell him how much everyone is missing her here on Fodors.

sheila,

Sorry, I don't know about services . . . he called me late Sat. night and I was so addled/upset, that I didn't feel comfortable asking for details.

I do think it was a big shock and completely unexpected . . . I know she was slim, ate right, exercised daily, had regular checkups, was happy . . . John said it was massive and nothing anyone could do.

I know that's the way she would want to go but it is so hard on those of us left, those of us who will miss her.
