What?! I am in shock! She was so great to work with and so efficient. Man is she going to be missed for many reasons. My condolences to her family and friends.
Jennifer, best of luck in taking over the business. I for one will give you a call next time I need to book travel anywhere.

This is awful news.
My heart felt condolences to her family and friends.
She was by all accounts, a truly remarkable person in every good way.

I am shocked! I have used Lori or Jenn for all of my safaris. Always on top of things and smoothed out several hiccups. Condolences to her family.

Lori, I'm going to miss you. Booking through Travel Express was simply a no brainer. All of the nitty gritty details simply vanished. All I had to do was enjoy the ride. Jennifer, I hope you will be able to keep up all the good work that was done in the past.

Wow, just a shocker. Dealt with her many times at SCI and through e-mails. Always a pro and will be missed greatly.

I did not know her personally, but reading all of the comments it is easy to see what kind of person she was and what kind of business she ran. My condolences to her coworkers and her family.

Heartbreaking news for sure. Lori handled all of my Africa safaris and always went above and beyond for me just as she did for everyone. It was reassuring to know that she had my back. I am deeply saddened to hear this. I always hoped to meet her in person. May God comfort her loved ones as they deal with the loss.

I know some of you knew Lori well so I wanted to pass on this information if anyone wanted to send some flowers to her celebration of life ceremony this weekend. It will be held at the Daly Leach Memorial Chapel on Saturday June 12, 2021 at 3:00 PM in Hamilton, Montana, in the Leach Community Room.

She helped me on my only trip to Africa thus far and to say she was good was an understatement. It was a downright pleasure working with her from flights to talking fly fishing. She will be missed

As someone who shares the same passion for flyfishing, and the outdoors, it saddens me to see a wonderful sportswoman have to leave life so soon.
