Judy Smith, one of the "Diary Queens" as we called them, and I give our deep heartfelt condolences to Randy and the family in loss of this precious woman, Lorene. It was privilege to know her many years from the cafeteria. My mother's heart loved her so much as one of her close girlfriends. May our Lord and Savior comfort you and provide His peace to you all during this time and onward.
