Today was a joyous day for many, but also a day of mourning for most...we as a family celebrated Lori's Celebration of Life Service. Many came today to show the love that Lori had blessed each and every one with. Before I share and write a little bit more...I would like to share a video that Lori recorded in 1 take on May 19, 12 days before she went home to be with Jesus. It is her testimony and thank yous to all of you...it was an integral part of her Celebration today and it was done to share the love that Lori had of God and of each and every one of you. Enjoy the journey that she shares:

Surrounded by her family, many of her friends, her amazing care group, co-workers and friends of our family - we cried, we laughed, we sat silent and we shouted out...our love for Lori today via many sharing moments. It was a very emotional day for me...It has now been 2 weeks since her passing and I miss her now even more. Life has changed for me...my partner, my friend, my biggest cheerleader, my biggest critic with so much grace is now not here. I am assured and confident in where she is..with her heavenly Father, but as a human being, a child of God, we were designed to be in relationship with a spouse, with family and with friends. It will be many learning moments for me, a grieving moment here and there, and many more moments of trusting in God to fill the void, the emptiness the missing of my babes...I am leaning on Him, pressing into Him, relying on Him to see me through this time...full well knowing that my purpose in life is to glorify Him in all that I am and do..just like Lori did, I will choose to glorify Him regardless of my situation and struggles.
I would like to thank all those that came and those that could not make it but sent messages of love. Our family is blessed by each and every one of you. As Lori said in her thank yous...I love you, my love is with you and I will see you soon as we walk this journey together.
God bless you all and more to come later!!
To God be the glory!!
Sean
