Dear Family of Lorraine, I just wanted you to know how much Lorraine and Dick's friendship over the 65 years meant to my parents. I was in Georgia with Mom when she got the call and she is just devastated. I wanted to extend my visit and drive her to see all of you but after 4 days with her I decided it would have been too hard for her to make the trip. Thanks to you all for including my parents into your big one. Especially over a few holidays. Best regards to everyone, someday my parents will pass also and I know it will be hard but also know that they will be in heaven, pain free and singing in churches. Peace to everyone.

Though it is sad to lose Lorraine, she is at peace at last. She was a wonderful person and the very best of mothers, as you her children all know. remember what your mother, and you father, taught you, as you were all blessed with 2 very special parents, who raised you to "follow the Lord."
With love from AUNT CAROLYN
