Tori will be remembered as:

A person who is kind, caring, put others first, has a high moral character, strong belief in God that she shared whole heartedly with others, somebody who is a great listener and fun to be around, somebody who shares her wisdom freely and always has a great story to tell about the past. Things that we will miss the most about her are: her humble and warm spirit, her beautiful smile and piercing blue eyes, and her ability to make everybody feel welcome and loved around her.
