Norm and Kyle--- please accept my sympathy for your loss. Since I worked with both of you I did see and get to know Lorraine, she was such a pleasant lady, who brought treats to work from time to time. I have been retired for 5 years now and Karen called and let me know about your loss. My prayers are with you and your family.

I met Lorraine at Cargill. She was always very pleasant and easy to get along with, and had a great smile. She would bring her blankets in to show us, they were always nicely done and very beautiful. We saw each other shopping once, she was having such fun picking out the supplies for making blankets. She always seemed to enjoy life, whatever it brought her. She will be missed. My sympathy to each and every one of her family and friends.

I thank God for her christian example and testimony...never tiring of being "given to hospitality"... my thoughts and prayers are with you...i know she is missed...love, Bev

Linnae,
I was so sorry to hear about your mother. I have such wonderful memories of sleepovers at your house when we were growing up, I know there will be a great void in your family, and I will pray that the Lord will comfort and sustain you in the days ahead.

I will miss Lorraine a lot. She always had a kind word for everyone. She never turned us down to come in and work at Cargill. We always wanted to call her because she was always so nice to be around, had so much experience and did an exceptional job. May God be with Lorraine's family as they seek to overcome the loss of someone so very special.

I'm so sorry to hear about Lorraine. I only worked with her a short time when she was a sub for one of the operators. . She was such a lovley lady. We all loved working with her. She was always cheerful and had a great sence of humor. She talked about her children and grand children with much love.

My heart goes out to her family, I'm sure you will mess her dearly. May god bless and comfort you .
