    Lori is a care giver for my special needs nephew. She is so kind and conscientious about how she handles every situation. She is always on time for work and is willing to deviate from the plan if necessary. One of her jobs is to shop for and help prepare food for my nephew to eat all week long. I joke with him that he eats better than me! She is a blessing to our family and we feel so lucky to have her in our lives.
