Dear Jerry and Family,
We were so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. They are such special people in our lives. We are sorry we couldn't make it to the services but by the time we got notice of your mother's death the services were over. Know that you and Nancy are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Vic and Sue

My deepest sympathies go out to the whole family. Lorraine was my Mother-in-law for 28.5 years, and I couldn't have chosen a better one if I tried.
She had a real zest for life, and a love for many things, including Bingo, playing Sheepshead, her wonderful garden out in the country from which many canned and frozen foods were made from, and embroidering and making quilts. Every Christmas we'd get some pillowcases that she did fancy embroidering along the edges. Together with Jake, they made the most beautiful quilts, a couple of which Jerry & I were lucky to receive.
She was a devoted Catholic, and always put church first on Sundays.
Together with her husband, Jake, Dad, we spent hundreds of hours together enjoying all that life had to offer. She liked her fishing, too. I'll never forget the fun we had every 4th of July down by the Lakefront watching the fireworks.
She will be deeply missed by me, but I know she's together with Jake in Heaven, and that brings me such great comfort.
Rest in peace, Mom. I will always treasure all the years we had together, and the smiles you brought to my heart.

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your families. Aunt Lorraine will be deeply missed. It was always so great to hear from her every yeat at Christmas. She would fill me in on all the years happenings. I remember when Uncle Jake and her came to my wedding in Arizona. Didn't have a lot of family there, but they came and I will never forget that. Love to you all.

My deepest sympathy goes to all of you. I remember all the fun I had with Aunt Lorraine going to bingo and just listening to her laugh. She always made me laugh and I always had a great time with her. I will miss her deeply.

My deepest sympathy to you all. Your Mother was a wonderful person. The material she gave me (had to be over 100 yards!) has made over 60 blankets and laprobes going to Project Linus, prizes for Bingo, and churches helping people in need. She sure loved a bargain! 6 yards of this, 6 yards of that. There were some price tags that showed the place and the price..remember when Sears had material for sale?? There's still material left so she will still be making others feel warm all over.
Cherish the memories and she will be with you forever.
Love, Kathy
