John,
I've been thinking of Lorraine lately. She had given my mother a Christmas sweater, and I was reflecting on her generous nature. Then last Saturday, Nov. 9 I felt Lorraine so strongly. She had a smile on her face and was letting me know everything was going to be okay? The next day we found out my mother has passed away peacefully in her sleep. I believe Lorraine was there to help guide the way... and that makes me once again realize that there is so much more going on than we...

A beautiful woman with so much grace. We all had so much fun riding our motorcycles and enjoying the company of Lorraine and John. May God Bless you John and family in your loss and embrace you in his loving arms as you heal.
