I knew Lorinne back in grade school at Jefferson school in Menasha. I remember being at several of her birthday parties; she had the prettiest cake I had ever seen! We lost contact but did catch up with her at our 45th class reunion. She was so excited to be there and to catch up with all of her classmates. We couldn't believe the change in her. Wonderfully happy lady! I did talk to her last summer about the 50th class reunion and she indicated she was sending a check. The check showed up but unfortunately Lorinne didn't. She was a very nice gal and, judging from her obituary, did so many great things for so many. Rest in peace, classmate!
