Bob and I would like to let you know how very sorry we are for the passing of Lori. We are sending love and hugs to Barry, Irene and families 💕

It was a real pleasure being a part of a choir with Lori as the leader. Learned new music every week. So sorry for the last year of her life and all the pain she endured. Prayed every week that things would improve. Now I pray for you Bill and the rest of the family.

What to even say… this is such a great loss. Lori had a smile that could light up a room, and had this infectious laugh that just uplifted your mood, she had a spunk to her that I admired. I am truly happy that I she was my coworker but she was also a friend.. #MRPFam
my heart goes out to Billy, Graeme, Lisa, her parents and rest of family at this time

It is with extreme sadness I send my condolences to the Milian family , Billy and her children. To know her was to love her. I felt so privileged to be part of her choir at Avondale United Church in Stratford. She was such a smart, brave talented person taken too soon. Rest in Peace Lori, thou good and faithful servant.

I’m heartbroken to hear the news of Lori’s passing. I count Lori as one of a handful of women who came into my life at the right time. I was in a period of significant transition and Lori was an excellent listener. All of my interactions with her were positive and she provided support to me and witnessed me during times when I sometimes felt alone in what I was going through. She was a quiet, joyful presence and had the best laugh. I will miss her and wish the best for her family and friends who were close to her.

Dear Barry and Irene and family.
We are so sorry to hear of Lori’s passing. Our memories of her are of a beautiful child who grew up to be a lovely, talented young woman. Auburn church was fortunate to have Lori and Irene playing those beautiful and complicated piano duets.
Sincerely, Allan and Karen Webster

Truly gutted to hear this news. Lori is the most fierce, loving, relentless advocate for children. I was truly blessed to have her in our corner. She literally saved my daughter’s life. Through all of our many, many conversations there was no doubt whatsoever the magnitude of her love for her family. Incredibly proud of her children and deeply grateful for her husband. Her compassion and true ability to understand certain family dynamics was unbeatable. There are no words for the depth of my gratitude along with my sincerest condolences to her family.

Lisa and family,
We are thinking of you all during this difficult time. Your mom was truly a talented, giving, and kind person while demonstrating the true meaning of perseverance to us all. I still remember her sitting and playing beautifully for numerous ballet exams. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all, during this difficult time.

Many fond memories. Keeping Billy and children in my thoughts and prayers.
Keep all the happy memories close to your heart.

My deepest sympathies to all of Lori’s family. I have so many memories of Lori from Sunday school to youth group to reconnecting as adults over shared experiences. Angela

Barry, Irene and family.

I was so sorry to hear of Lori’s passing. My thoughts, love and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

What a tremendous shock to find out about Lori’s passing. She was truly a bright light in every way. Her amazing talent at the piano was evidence of her passion for music and her strong training. Our sincere sympathies go out to Barry and Irene, noting that parents should never have to say goodbye to a child, regardless of age. Please know that you are in our prayers.

Dear Millian Family, We send condolences as you grieve the loss of Lori. We remember the special Sunday when we travelled to Stratford with you to attend the Christmas Cantata which Lori so beautifully organized..Lori was certainly a talented musician. Knowing the depth of your love and respect for one another makes our hearts break for all of you. There are no words to ease today’s pain but we send concern and love to all your family. Sincerely, Dawn and Bob.

So sorry to hear of Lori’s passing. Our sympathies to Billy, Graeme and Lisa. We knew Lori from Central/Avondale United Church, before and during her time as music director. Having kids of similar ages, we had many conversations with Lori about kids, music, life. A particular memory is of Lori accompanying our daughter and some of her classmates for their Kiwanis Festival brass solos. Don’t remember how the kids did, but the adjudicator gave a special shout out to Lori for her skill and sensitivity as an accompanist!

Barry, Irene, Steve, Regan and family,

I was deeply saddened to hear about Lori’s passing. Growing up together, I always admired her kindness, warmth, and the way she made everyone around her feel special. She truly had a heart of gold.

Unfortunately, I cannot attend the celebration of life on Sunday. Please know that my thoughts are with you and your family during this difficult time. I hope you find comfort in the beautiful memories you shared.

With heartfelt sympathy,
Adam and Julie Moore

Sympathy to all your family!

I have such rich memories of Lori at Wilfrid Laurier University. She was a wonderful friend and confidant. We enjoyed many classes and then lunches together and had a great time at concerts of all sorts. She had a contagious laugh and a smile that warmed up a room. She was a fantastic pianist and overall musician. She was always so warm and thoughtful of others so her career in family law made a lot of sense.

I wish to offer my sympathies to Lisa and Graeme and to Lori’s parents. She will be missed and I was blessed to have her as a friend during such an impressionable time in my life. May God bless you all.

Barry and Irene and family

I knew Lori in University. She was someone of great devotion to her talent, and of great kindness to those around her. She possessed a smile that could cut through any level of sadness. Someone of remarkable self-assuredness and inner strength. I am saddened by the news of her passing, and wish all who knew her well comfort and solace in this their time of grief.

“Your soul is God’s, your memory ours.”

So sorry to hear of Lori’s passing. Sending condolences to your family and wishing you strength in the day ahead.

I am so saddened to hear about the passing of Lori. I knew Lori during some of my toughest times and she was always there, kind and comforting. I am so sorry for your loss. She will be dearly missed.

From her giving piano lessons to our daughter at Central Perth to singing duets with her and solos for her and attending her wedding to Billy, she will long be remembered. Thoughts and prayers to Billy, her children and parents

Dear Millian Family, I was just roaming the internet and was shocked and saddened to read of Laurie’s passing. I remember her so fondly from the year she was in my Grade 6 class at Colborne. She was lovely, one of my favourites! My heart breaks for all of you.
