Lorraine was a wonderful person and always had a smile for me. I will miss her very much. I know you will miss her very much. Debbie, my heart goes out to you and the family at this sad time. Although I know she is not in pain any longer and is smiling on us all now it does not make it any easier. My prayers are with you all.
