The Sunshine Ride

Lori was a member of Zeta Epsilon Chapter of Alpha Phi at Indiana University Southeast.  Lori was a beautiful, active and healthy woman who was diagnosed with breast cancer in the fall of 1999 at the age of 30 years young.  Lori underwent a mastectomy, chemotherapy and radiation.  After a brave fight she enjoyed being cancer free for three years.  She and her husband Keith were looking forward to celebrating her 4th cancer-free anniversary when she experienced a reoccurrence of her cancer to the liver, bone, brain and lungs.  Lori once again fought her cancer with courage opting to have a hysterectomy in June of 2003.  After nearly five years of living with cancer Lori passed away in her sleep on August 14, 2004.  To learn more about Lori's story and her brave fight for life visit her website at www.rosepedal4laf.com
