I just found out....
I'm still in shock and I know you'll meet with my mom on the other side. I wish there could've been more deeper communication between us than just the air brushed student/teacher talk. I mean more as in people. Someone I could talk to on a deeper level as a mentor or a friend. I wish you could've seen something more in me than what I was, and push me into the direction I needed to go when my mom passed. I kinda felt like I was given up on when I was moved to Mr. Andrews class like I was just a regular student. But I knew more students were coming in and the class was growing and it needed to be done...
I can recall you going all out for us when your class consisted of 3-4 students when we went to Islands of Adventure and you got a coach bus to take us to and from the park. A whole bus just for our small group! I'll never forget that!
I wish I would've visited you a couple years ago but I was hesitant. I felt as if I wasn't good enough and that I needed to make something of myself which has yet to happen... I hope when my time comes that I'll see you along with my mom on the other side. It's crazy, both you and my mom were so young when your times came and you both were such great women and both made impressions in my life.
Goodbye Mrs. Schenk "Always remember to smile!" (You wrote that in my 2002-2003 yearbook!)

Lori,
As a former student from Lake Howell High School, I was happy to get to know Lori. She also did help me during the times I had trouble with other students and she really did give good advice to me as well during my four years at Lake Howell. I will miss you very much.
Love, Kervin

Lori,
I've always admired your ability to smile and do so beautifully; to laugh and to do so heartily; to respond to others in need and do so faithfully; to inspire others to reach for more and to do so gracefully. I will truly miss you.
Love, Gina
~ Gina Marie Tucker - May 24, 2012
Lori, I have so many memories of our high school times. Life was never dull with you around that's for sure! Your laugh is infectious and your smile brightens even the darkest of hours. I can hear your laughter sometimes and a smile comes to my face. You are so very much missed, taken away far too soon! I am so very blessed to have been able to spend some of your journey down here with you! I will see you again my friend and until then party on and keep sharing that beautiful smile! Love you!
~ Becca Hewett Bailey - May 23, 2012
I had a great time with you with all the many laughter and fun stuff with you. I'm will really going to miss you.
~ Guillermo Collazo - May 22, 2012
Lori,
I will greatly miss you. I appreciate everything you did for me and my daughter Jaime. I will never forget how much you helped us. You were a wonderful person and I enjoyed working with you, you made coming to work worth while. I will miss your laugh down the hall.
Love,
Debbie

Lori,
I will forever thank God for blessing me with you in my life and I will always remember that you have been a great friend to me and my wife. Though I was not there from the start, I will forever remember
that you always made me feel that I was an important part. Love, happiness, support, encouragement and honesty are just a few of your traits, I will forever remember that you never pulled punches to get a problem straight (bawdy bawdy). Though I am saddened, torn and feeling gloom, I will forever remember how your smile would brighten the room. Many memories will pull me through and your legacy will live on thru all those who love you. The lives you have touched, a number unknown, all have been changed in your Kistner/Schenk ways and I will forever remember the strength and courage you displayed throughout your last days. I will forever remember how full of life you were, I will forever remember how large you lived life, I will forever remember you! I will forever get in that water for you!
I Love You,
Tommy Barnes

She just was full of life,and always had a big smile. My condolences to her family.
~ evelyn lamarche - May 20, 2012
We feel so blessed to have had Lori in our family. She had a sweet way about her that made you feel comfortable and put you at ease right away. We have good and funny memories of her visit with us in West Virginia that we will always cherish.
We are sad and broken hearted for Dan, Judy, Madison, Angie and the rest of the family. We love you and pray that we can be
a comfort to you in your hour of need.
I fully intend to met Lori again in Heaven. The Bible says absent from the body, present with the Lord. What a day, a
glorious day that will be!
~ Robert and Trudy Barker - May 19, 2012
To the most wonderful and supportive counselor and Dean,
You were the inspiration to our family for many years! Without you, we would have been lost!
Thank you for you and the support you gave!
You are truly an ANGEL! Spread your wings and fly!
Champagne toasts to you!

I had the pleasure of working with Lori at LHHS. She had aspirations of being a special education administrator which for sure would have happened as she was so capable and so great with students and all else. We had a long standing joke that if she was appointed to be an administrator she would hire me ( I am a bit older than Lori not going to mention the age differential!!) we had great jokes going that I would be with her even if I had to be on a walker. At the time the school psychologist also said we could all be on the same team. We often joked that when she was appointed and it was a definitive when as she was so competent, to be an administrator she would make sure that myself and the psychologist would be with her on her dream team. Lori was a wonderful person, I am blessed that I got got to know her and work with her. We shared many stories about her students and their struggles. She was always so terrific to support the student's with the special needs. I will sorely miss her but feel lucky that I had the privilege or working with her. She was a lovely person and very special.
~ Marie McDonald - May 18, 2012
Lori, you was a special person, you will live on with all of us, you had so many wonderful friends that we got to meet, so much comfort for Judy & family to have her friends say goodbye, no more pain to suffer, no heartache to bear, you had a wonderful family, not only at home but at school, you will be greatly missed by all and loved you dearly, rest in peace, love ya, Aunt Dottie
~ Dottie Brown - May 18, 2012

I was very lucky to have lived almost 4 years with u and Madsion and those where great times I miss them so very much. Lori you where one of a kind and an amazing mother and friend. There are not enough words to say about how wounderful a women you where. You have been there for me in the good days and bad and helped me be a beter man. I will miss you but I will never forget you schenk. Love you for ever.R.I.P.
~ Todd Fitzgerald - May 18, 2012
Even though we weren't that close we had mutual friends that were close to us. I remember Lori's beautiful smile and unforgettable laugh. I know she's up in heaven partying hard until the rest of us get there. Love and miss you!

Lori and I used to be neighbors and it this is where my friendship to Lori began. I was notorious for keeping my yard well manicured with seasonal flower beds. However, I was never able to compete with our Greek neighbors across the street. Lori decided to play a prank and had a Better Homes and Garden yard sign made up in my honor celebrating my yard as the best in the neighborhood. She came over with balloons and champagne. We toasted to my “award” while onlookers were appalled at my winnings. The neighbor across the street was so distraught she came over to invite us to view her yard. Lori and I obliged and giggled the whole time knowing my "winning" was a rouse meant to do the very thing that was happening. We laughed over this prank for months and often reflected back on the moment. These are the moments I will miss the most.
~ Patrick Williams - May 18, 2012
I met Lori in 1995 while working at Rosenwald Center (Sem Co Public School). She had this energy about her that just drew people in and we become instant friends. We partied and laughed, her smile and laugh were infectious. I admired her drive to become an educator, there wasn't anything that could get in her way of becoming a teacher. I believe she coined the phrase "Don't steal my thunder"....that makes me laugh the most! I am sad she is gone but know she is out of pain and in a better place. She now is joined by Gwen Andrews and they are definitely livin' it up! Rest in Peace dear Lori....you will be missed!
~ Carmen Moore - May 18, 2012
Lori... you left us too soon. But you live on in each and every life you touched. I guess me, Carolina, and Danyele will have to pick up old men at the mall when we are 80 without you :-( You will be there in spirit, which you had so much of!! I couldn't have asked for a better best friend, partner in crime, and sister!! I love you more than words can say! Rest in Peace. You make the perfect angel!
~ Anne Hudson - May 18, 2012
Lori,
You have made such an impact in the lives of so many who love you. I am so proud of what you have accomplished in you life, Madison will do you proud. Love you and will never forget you infectious laugh.
Love,
Nana Kistner
~ Jane Kistner - May 18, 2012
Words cannot express our sorrow. Our prayers for your family and especially Lori's daughter are daily.
Lori will always be remembered as a special girl, a special woman, a special mom.
