Dear Carol and Family of Lorraine,

Lorraine was a dear friend and neighbor of ours. We enjoyed her and Art's stories of life experiences. Not a day goes by that I do not think of Lorraine as I use some item that she had shared with me when she moved back to Wichita.

Rest in Peace dear friend knowing that you were loved by many.

With Love and Prayer, Paula and Chuck Taylor

Lorraine was my "Auntie Wayne". She leaves me with many good childhood and adult memories and has always held a special place in my heart. Thank you Bill and Carol for caring for her.

It's safe to say that all of us who got to know Lorraine loved her, both for her kind and generous nature, and for the joy that she brought into Arthur's life. We are sure the welcome mat was out for her at heaven's gate. May the good Lord comfort those she left behind. Our thoughts and prayers are with them.
