Dear Uncle Frank and my extended family, My heart stopped when my sister Cindy (Terwilliger) wrote us to tell us about Aunt Lorraine. I can't say how sorry Clifford and I are to hear this sad news. My sister Connie and I are coming out in a week and I had planned on visiting you as we always did when we came back home. The two of you were my only connection to the Held's and my only connection to Daddy (Clifford Held) and memories of him. I hope to still come by and see you in mid September. Clifford (my son) is serving in the Peace Corps. in Guatemala so he won't be with me this time. We both send our love and good thoughts your way. Please take good care and I hope to see you soon.
Much love,
your niece,
Bonnie Held
and Clifford

Frank,

We cannot express how much we will miss Lorraine. She was always so sweet and kind. So many things we will miss, to many to mention. We just loved visiting you and Lorraine and always every summer seeing the two of you working together. She will always be loved and now she will be with the Lord she loved and who loved her. Our love will always be with you and we will always be available to you.

All our love,
Penny & Sue

To the family of Lorraine Bober. We are so sorry to hear about your loss. I have very fond memories of Lorraine. She was so good to us when we had a loss in our family in the Elmira area. She opened up her home and showed unforgetable compassion to me, my wife, and my children. God Bless you Lorraine!

Dear Uncle Frank, all of my cousins and their families. I was so sorry to hear of Aunt Lorraine's passing. I have such wonderful memories of visiting you both in the summer and at Christmas. Aunt Lorraine reminded me so much of my own mom. I was fascinated by your Christmas trees, so much so that I now put up nine trees in my own home!
My prayers go out to all of you.
Love, Sharlotte (Howe) and Tom Way

Dear Uncle Frank, "my cousins" and their families.
I am so sorry about Aunt Lorraine but you have such wonderful memories! You are a very special family and will all be support for each other. I remember that Aunt Lorraine taught me how to knit when I was in the 6th grade. I was so fortunate to be blessed with such wonderful and loving relatives!! I know that Aunt Lorraine will be saying Hi to Mom, Dad and Bob. Love Ann
