“We at West Greene High School appreciate you sharing with our entire student body about your experiences in an abusive dating relationship. As you probably know, we recently experienced the worst nightmare I personally have had to endure in my 32 years of teaching experience. One of our senior girls was held hostage by her former boyfriend, shot and murdered. That situation literally shook our staff and student body to the core! What you said to our students during the program you presented has been beneficial to our healing as a school. Every student body should hear what you have to tell them before it is too late. Hopefully, you helped another of our female students who might be on the path of becoming involved with the wrong person as Katie had before her murder. I am not a big advocate of assembly programs, but I recommend this program to any middle or high school, regardless of size or socio-ecomomic status"

"I have seen that love hurts video since 8th grade and been bored out of my mind every time. With the presentation today I got it. It was straight talk and straight to the point. She kept my attention and I can actually tell you what she said."

"In her two days spent at Theodore Roosevelt Elementary Lori's anti-violence, anti-bullying message reached a total of 250 children. The children were mesmerized by her stories and extremely receptive to what she had to say. The students were talking about it for weeks afterward and made a concerted effort to meet her no-teasing, be kind to each other challenge. In fact the self proclaimed school bully has shown a positive change as a result of the program and her interaction with Lori."
