She is also constantly helping out bands, photographers & friends in any way she can

"Lori is one of those people who will go to any means to help out a struggling artist or struggling musician. She has put us up numerous times, for free. Anything we've ever needed help with, Lori has always been a sure bet. She does a lot for free for a lot of people in the NYC music scene. We'd love to be able to return that generosity to her in this time of need."
- Brooklyn/Chicago band These Are Powers

Currently on a leave of absence from her day job, her expenses will not be limited to funeral costs, lawyers, travel, rent and living. PayPal to bailyfund@gmail.com or use this button:

Speaking of her friends, she counts many musicians among them and a benefit concert is being talked about. If you're interested in helping out in any way in additon to the options above, feel free to contact us using the info on the top right of this website.

This truly brings tears to my eyes for the sheer unfairness and randomness of it all. I know nothing at this time can come close to giving you comfort, but just know your pain and anguish is currently in the hearts and minds of many. We wish you and your family strength.

My goodness. While I've never met Lori in person, I'm very familiar with her pictures from this site and I've been a big fan of her work - especially at the energetically charged shows like Iggy and The Dillinger Escape Plan.

I'd like to offer my deepest condolences to her and her family. My thoughts are with them in this unbearably trying time.

I guess the greatest tribute to her parents is the quality individual Lori is as an adult. She is an amazing talent and person. Condolences, sadness and sympathy seem so empty with an horrible event of this magnitude.

Last night Bill, Anna, another close friend and myself went to meet Lori at Midway airport in Chicago. She somehow could smile and laugh amidst this unspeakable act. She expressed to me that she's really greatful to Dave and Brooklyn Vegan for helping. So on behalf of Lori, thanks for the help. She's going to need it for a while to come.

Today she was dealing with the police and getting ready to meet with other official people. Keep her close to your heart as she confronts her home and what happened there. With all our thoughts focused together on her we can truly get her through this and back to NYC where we're used to seeing her.

I wanted to write and say thank you to everyone. The response from BV and this site has helped me a lot. It means so much to hear words of encouragement. The donated money will be used for funeral and burial expenses as my parents did not have much.
