Mother passed while traveling to son’s wedding

Hello Friends and Family,

We have started this Go fund me for Howard and Lori Putnam.

This weekend was a dream coming true for the Putnam and Zariczny Family. Lori and Sydney (Mothers of the groom and bride and life long friends) had always dreamed their children would grow up and marry and it was finally coming true! Both families and close friends traveled to be at the wedding in Utah. Lori and Howard drove from California.

On Sunday morning, hours before the wedding was to start, Lori suffered a major heart attack and had other complications. She was transferred to the closest major hospital where they had to put her into a medically induced coma. She was stable but very critical. The families insisted that the wedding ceremony needed to continue as planned because that's what Lori would have wanted.

The next 24 hours, her loving husband and life partner of 41 years Howard, son Justin and his wife Andrea, daughter Cherish, Lori's mother and sister were able to be by her side. Lori leaves behind 6 grandchildren whom she adored with all her heart, and just welcomed her first great grandchild this past week.

On Monday September 27th, Lori Putnam went to be with the lord. She will be truly missed by everyone. Any donations possible would be such a huge blessing, as we need to lay Lori to rest. They need to fly her from Utah to California for the funeral.
