On behalf of Lorraine's "family" at Sunrise Assisted Living of Buffalo Grove, we want to let you know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Lorraine could always be found with her crossword puzzle book in hand, at any trivia competition (she always won)or watching her favorite Wheel of Fortune. Her warmth and friendship will be missed among our residents and staff.
