Leave a tribute for Lori Baker Cuthbertson.
Our deepest condolences to her family from the care team at Atrium Healthy at Home. She fought the good fight and kept the faith; her reward far exceeds anything we can imagine. We were so honored to meet her and her family and to be a small part of the sunshine her smile brought to us all.
I just now saw the obituary of Lori. I was shocked to see that Lori left here at such a young age. I saw this young woman grow up along with her sister Susie and brother Chris. She was always beautiful and hard working. Susie and Chris, my prayers and deepest sympathy to you both and all your family. I will always remember all you kids and watching ya'll play and grow up. Love and prayers, Linda (Rector) Berry
