Dearest Lorraine,
I just heard of your mother´s passing and I am so sorry for your loss.
I also worked for the Credit Union and loved meeting your mom and dad at the conferences we had in Fort Wayne. I also covered for your mother at the branch in South Carolina for a week.
Your mom was just the sweetest person and I feel so sad for you.

Lorraine I am so sad to learn that your mom has passed away. I worked with her for many years at Partners 1st FCU and even stayed overnight with your parent's once in Columbia while on our way to Myrtle Beach with my sister and another credit union employee. Your parents were so sweet and fun to be around. I just sent our President at the credit union an old photo of your mom on the porch at one of our co-workers homes while here for a branch conference. I hope you can rest in knowing how blessed their friends were to share their friendship and faith. I know they are riding their cycles with Jesus now in heaven. Hugs to you and thank you for sharing them with us.

Lorraine, I am so sad to hear that your Mama had passed. I'll tell you that the first thing I said when Darrin told me Praise God that she is with your Daddy and they are healthy and living in paradise together. I know that doesn't take the hurt and grief away. We're praying for you for peace and comfort. Your parents adored you and I know you love them back just as much and watched out for them. We love you!! I'd love to have lunch one day. My memories are so clear when remembering Howard you taught me to make cakes and helped me when I first went to Nursing school. Thank you for that! You will be in our heats and thoughts
Love,
Lisa, Darrin, Lindy and Peyton Player
