So sorry to Lorraine's Family. I grew up with Lorraine and graduated from high-school together in Gregory.
We were also confirmed together at St. John's Lutheran Church in Gregory. A wonderful person.

So very sorry. Lorraine and I were classmates and friends through elementary and high school. We graduated together from Gregory High School in 1961. We also were confirmed together at St.
John's Lutheran Church in Gregory. Lorraine was a wonderful Christian person. Again so very sorry.
God's Blessings, David
