Lori will live forever be in my heart and soul. Howard, Carna, Stuart, and Renee- I know how deeply she will be missed, I am forever grateful she was in my life. I will cherish my memories of our life together.

Lori was absolutely the best person you would want to know. She was a gifted musician, a loving person, kind to all, and she had a terrific sense of humor. She was my favorite dance partner at B.G. Singers. I, as well as her many admirers, will miss her and the joy she brought to so many. My thoughts and prayers are with Howard and the entire Lapping family. Lori’s memory will truly be for a blessing.

I was so sad to hear of Lori’s passing. Though it’s been many years since I’ve seen Lori, I will always remember her as a good friend during our child-rearing years . Our children played together (Stuart and Jimmy. Renee and Jillie). My thoughts are with the entire Lapping family during this difficult time.

So many memories. Lori taught me to crochet, I taught her to play piano.
She came to visit us in Portland and I convinced her to take off her makeup for our camping trip to Crater Lake.
I announced my impending divorce to the family by standing with the women to catch her bouquet. Lori and Shari came to Ben’s wedding at the Oregon coast as Thelma and Louise ..what a hoot
Lori and I talked about our health challenges and her resilience helped my resilience.
I will love her forever

Dear Lapping family, I’m so sorry for the loss of your dear Lori. We met at Beth Am a million years ago and later in BG Singers for 16 years. I’ve never seen anybody exude so much joy when singing, strumming or dancing, even when in excruciating pain. I hope she gets to meet Karen Carpenter and spends lifetimes singing and harmonizing. May the memory of her huge heart and smile (especially with a glass of wine) always bring you joy, and may her memory be for a blessing. She will be missed by so many. Rest in peace Lori

I’m going to miss my Aunt Lori. Her personality and mine are so different, but somehow that made it so much more fun to hang out with her, and I feel like we never ran out of things to talk (or joke) about.
I had been thinking through all the different memories I have with her, and it made me realize that I was feeling that she was like a big sister to me. I wish I had noticed that feeling sooner so that I could have told her about it. I am so lucky that I got to have her in my life, and thankful that she was always so happy to spend time with me.

Howard, Carna, Stuart and Renee- Sending my condolences to you and the entire family. I loved Lori and she was always so kind, friendly and loving to me and Connor. I will always remember how much she loved to talk about her concerts and her children. She was a bright star for me at all of the family gatherings. I hope sharing all of the great memories of Lori help you all find peace and comfort. XO

My condolences to all who loved Lori. We were cousins and shared a lot of childhood memories. I, like so many others, will miss her smile, her music, her cookies, her strength and her beautiful spirit. She had a full life, but it was way too short. I will miss her greatly. Love, Shelley

Lori was such a light in the neighborhood. Her signature chocolate chip cookies were always delicious, and I can picture her vacuuming now. Sending our love and condolences to the whole family.
