Lorre, Your mom (and dad) were two of the sweetest people I've ever known at First United Methodist Church. I can still remember your Dad as an usher when we first moved here in 2003. We loved looking out on the congregation from the Choir Loft and seeing your family worshiping together. You and your family are in our prayers for comfort and strength during this very difficult time.
