In Lorraine's & Jerry's home and at their table, I always felt welcome, at home, and one of the family. Birthdays, anniversaries, and Christmases were always special. She was center of family life, a family life we all loved. May our memories of her life and her legacy for us be our renewed and tireless commitment to those we love, and the relationships we hold dear.
