We were very sorry to hear of Lorraine's passing. She was a wonderful individual and a dear friend to all. We looked forward to and enjoyed very much the meals that she would fix for us while we were on our mission in Wellington. She and Roy would also bring by lunch and snacks to us while at the NZ Archives. We always enjoyed those and the enjoyable time we had during their visits. Even though we are thousands of miles away she will be greatly missed! Truly a special daughter of our Heavenly Father!
