Dear Family and all of our Sweet Friends,

We are overwhelmed by your response to our sweet angel's passing. Lori is now in the comfort of our Heavenly Father which brings peace to all of us. With her passing we realize that there are many people who would like to pay their last respects to her and our family. We are truly grateful for the support we have received thus far but Lori's wishes during her final days was that she wanted her services to be private with only immediate family. With that said, we are going to honor her wishes.

All of us are going to miss her and we will honor her and keep her spirit alive by creating the Lori-Strong Foundation where we will have 5k runs, charity dinners, golf tournaments and more. This will allow us to celebrate Lori's life while raising money for cervical cancer, the disease that took her life.

Again, thank you all, we love you and God bless.

The Alvarez Family
