Rob Blum lit a candle in memory of Lori J. Litchfield
My sister Lori was my first friend. We shared everthing sisters do. We would dress cats in doll clothes and carry them around like they were babies. Lay in the grass looking at the clouds move across the sky. Curl up under the blankets giggling about the new cute boy in school. Ran track together, running across the field to cheer the other on. No one was happier when the other won! We kept each others secerts and encouraged each others dreams. Lori was in my wedding. She was at my graduations and I at hers. How I’ve missed sharing memories with her these past 20 some years. But I am truly grateful for the peace Lori finally has. I love you little sister! Cindy Cindy Rit Litchfield Green

To Lori’s family, I am so sorry for your loss, Lori was a fun loving girl. She always had a smile on her face and she was a good friend as well as a good worker when she was working for Comprehensive Systems. I worked along the side of her as a co-worker, then as a Lead Worker and finally as her supervisor. We would do things together on our days off and always had fun. I just drove by the nursing home on Monday and said a little prayer for her. Even though she isn’t here on earth, her memories will live on in my mind and heart. She was a special person!

Saddened to hear of your loss of Lori. We were in religion class together. Her memory lives on in each person she touched. Catharine Van Dorn
She was such a goofball when around me. Rode bus together, and though she was a couple of years older we would sit together often and we’d get laughing so hard it was ridiculous. So sorry to the Litchfield family for such a loss to their family.

God has called her home. Lori was one of my best friends in high school. I have so many great memories of all the time we spent together.

To Lori’s family I offer my deepest sympathy and sincere condolence. May the fond memories that you shared bring comfort to your heart; May the promises from our Hevenly Father give you the strength and inner peace in the days ahead. Revelation 21:4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor out cry nor pain be any more… John 5:28,29 Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out…
