"Lori Pendle was an angel on earth. She is my bride, she is my girlfriend, she is my best friend, she is my lover, she is my Baby Girl, she is my brat, she is my wild and crazy woman, she is my rock, she is my everything. She is gorgeous. She had a lot of medical problems, but she was always positive, and always gave everyone her beautiful smile, and it was my privilege to care for her. I would still love and care for her for the next thirty+ years if I had the chance. Everyone that was fortunate to meet her, fell in love with her."
