A good friend of mine told me briefly in an email about something that happened to his ex-wife. She died on May 14th of this year. I know the cause of death, but not many details. I didn't know Lori Conti well, but Tony, her ex-husband is a good friend of mine. I don't get to see Tony much because of our busy schedules. I emailed him recently about starting an investment club, as we had talked about years ago. In a real quick note, he told me that Lori had died. I looked up her obituary on the net. Perhaps I will get to see her again.

Lori attended Calvert High School in Tiffin, Ohio and briefly attended Ohio State University. She received her B.S. degree from Atlantic Christian College in Wilson, NC. She lived in Wilson for many years, where she was a noted community volunteer. Lori was especially proud of her role in the fund-raising drive for the creation of the Wilson Arts Center.
Lori was a beautiful woman and a loving, generous person, who gave of herself unselfishly to all she knew. She was known for her infectious sense of humor, smile and always found a way to make those around her laugh. Lori was musically talented, possessed a beautiful singing voice, played the piano, and also was very involved in community theatre and drama throughout her life. She loved to act, sing and instilled that love of singing in her son and in her nieces and nephews.
Lori often volunteered in her son's school and one of her joys was to watch Alexander play sports.
Lori lived her life with faith in Jesus Christ, and a true believer in life eternal. She now rests with God, and with our parents. Good Bye for now Sissy, we love you and we will miss you, but we know we will see you again on that great day when all tears shall be wiped away.
