“I was so saddened to hear of Lorraines passing. I sat next to Lorraine is homeroom in high school, then had a few classes with her, she was very nice and friendly as I was a new student coming from a different school. Then we met again years later when our sons played baseball together, where we all had lots of fun and laughs together with other Moms and Dads on the team, then came in contact with her again while my Dad was a frequent patient at St Marys Hospital, and she was always so nice and friendly. I want to extend my deepest sympathy to Lorraines son Wes, and her family and friends, she is certainly going to be missed by many, and she was truly a wonderful person, regretfully I hadnt seen her for more than a year before her passing:( All of you are in my thoughts and prayers, and you all now have a very special Angel of your very own.”
