Mrs. Kilburn was one of my favorite English teachers when I was in high school and one of the reason why I went on to study English in college. She will be terribly missed. RIP

The Kilburn Family was like my own family growing up. It saddens me to hear of Lorrains death and not be able to be there for Ross - even though it's been many years. I think of all of you often as you were a BIG part of my life. I love you all.

We in the class of 1973 remember Mrs. Kilburn with fondness and appreciation for the extra work she did in being one of our class advisors. She was caring and gave herself to the work she did for many years. Bellingham students of hers and the people she reached out to will miss her as I will myself.

I will always remember Lorraine whom I trained to do ESL tutoring at the Library and who worked with her tutoring students in MCAS at MHS. She will be sorely missed as a very good and loving person.
