I remember Aunt Lorraine as such a loving caring Aunt and always so happy to see us when we came to visit her. I always loved her for her caring and kind ways. I talked with her just a couple years agoand she still knew who I was and we had such nice chat. She will be greatly missed.Lois Coulter Olson
