To Lorraine Raleigh's Family,
I had the pleasure of knowing Lorraine for several years and have many precious memories accompanying her on the piano. We were close friends who shared many laughs and good times together. She
sang "Dear Ole Donegal" and "Together" like no one else could. She was a great gal. My deepest sympathy to all the family.
