Lauraine C. Dinges

Dear Herman,

It was a great pleasure to work with Lauraine as a musician during the years Jerry played with your happy band. We will always remember Lauraine as a dear friend, and standout example of courage and talent.

Herman, you and Lauraine were a first-class team! You can take great pride and satisfaction in the joy your team brought to thousands of others.

Love to you and your family,

Dear Uncle Herman and family,
Just wanted to say I am sorry to hear of Aunt Lauraine's passing. I hope everyone is doing ok. I will keep her and you all in my thoughts and prayers. Like my sister Jody said, may she rest in peace with our Dad, Aunt Rita, Grandma Arnhold, and many others that have passed in our family.

Love, Kimberly

Mr. Dinges, Darrell, Judy, and families,

We were so sad to hear of your recent loss of Lauraine--your dear wife and mother. Her pain on earth is finally over, now, and she is surely entertaining God and all the angels and saints in Heaven! We fondly remember her kind generosity and hospitality she always showed us as we visited Denver during Christmastimes past. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and Mrs. Dinges, now, and in the weeks ahead. She will be sorely missed by all!

Dear family of Lauraine Herman,My deepest sympathy.I am a cousin of Lauraine,her father was my Uncle, my Mother,s brother.I did,nt see Lauraine often but when I did, she always was so happy to see our family. Charlotte Hoffman(younger)family.

Dear Herman, Darrell and Judy. You are in our thoughts and prayers. I too remember growing up going to many polka-thons and many visits to your home as a child. I will always remember Lauraine with her beautiful smile. May God bring you peace and comfort knowing that she is in a much better place and we will all see her again someday.

I remeber Aunt Lauraine from the Polka-thons that my parents, Maurice and Joyce Gross and my Grandpa Leroy Arnhold used to take me to. She touched many people's lives with her music, smile, and genuine kindness. All will miss her.

Dear Dinges Family,
I remember growing up visiting my own grandparents at Christmas time and invariably taking a trip over to the brightest house in all the land (quite literally)... the Dinges'. Mr. Dinges with his accordion and Mrs. Dinges bustling along asking if we needed anything... making us feel as if her home was ours and that above all else we were wanted. I know that she truly knew God for she gave completely of herself every time I met her. My heart is with your family at...

Dear Mr. Dinges, Judy, Darrell, Audrey, Ava, Sheila, and your families,
May God comfort you now and bring you peace. I will never forget the song Mrs. Dinges sang "In Heaven there is no beer, that's why we drink it here." I'm sure she's playing her piano for St. Peter and St. Paul, and my Mom and Dad are singing with her in Heaven.
May God's Choicest Blessings be with you.

Lauraine taught me the meaning of the word hospitality. From the time I met her 13 years ago, until the last time I saw her less than two weeks ago, she always had a smile and a welcome, whenever we dropped in, expected or not. She was truly a lady and taught me how to open my home to others and hopefully I can show the same hospitality and friendliness to others for years to come. This will be my legacy to her.
Sincerely,
Felicia
