"Dr. Lori was my chiropractor for over 27 years. I started with her early in her practice when Dr. Mark first became a Rotarian and I needed a new dr. I was a patient of hers until the end when she shut down her practice shortly after Dr. Marks passing.
Dr. Lori was a wonderful doctor and friend and I am truly saddened by her passing. I was sending her cards periodically after her move back to Iowa because she always held and will always hold a special place in my heart.
Prayers and Peace to her family for their loss. She will be missed."
In loving memory of
Lori Kay DeVeau

Tributes
"Thanks for all the great times and conversations we had Lori. Loved having you on my side when we played Trivial Pursuit. You were exceptionally smart and just a lot of fun to be around. I will never forget the crazy food fight we had with Mark. You will be missed immensely."
"There's not a day that goes by that I didn't think of my brother Mark or my sister-in-law Lori. I have a nice photo of them in the house that I look at every day. Every time Lori talked to my mother Kathleen, she was always so excited to tell her she is hoping to get well enough to come back to Wisconsin to visit. We were looking forward to that. Mark and Lori loved asking us about our garden or what was new in the house. Mark and Lori I remeber had as many vegetable plants as they could fit on their balconly in their apartment. They grew really nice too! They really enjoyed that. I still have a bear that Mark and Lori gave me for my birthday when I was in elementary school. Bubbalicious bear and the box was filled with bubble gum! Best gift ever! I will always remember the fun Christmas visits we had and all the wonderful traditions we did as a family. Rummy royal that we played practically weekly we loved it so much! I could go on and on. I love you both and will miss you always. xoxox"
