Deepest sympathy - just learned of her passing today. It will be sad to not see her walking Tommy. She was a wonderful neighbor.

I am very grateful to have had Loraine as a friend, advocate, mentor, and fellow traveler. She will be greatly missed by all that loved her, especially Erin and Tommy. I will truly miss her.
