Dear Aunt Lorayne,

It's early new year's day and the first Christmas without Doug. And it's the first year without the annual Bachman report. I went through my cards putting aside the ones that I keep from year to year. Yours is always one of them.What fun it's been seeing all of the changes in your family from one year to the next.
Christmas was sad for your family and for mine. However, your brothers "The Boys" needed their big sister to keep them in line.I imagined them sitting in church on Christmas eve listening to you and little Aunt Audrey singing with the most beautiful choir ever.
When I write this I have tears in my eyes but smiling at the same time.I know that you, Uncle Ed and all of our loved ones that are with you in heaven are happy, pain free and at peace. Please watch over all of us until we see you again.

Love, and kisses Dianne

I will never forget Lorayne's stories and sense of humor at times. My prayers are with your family and I am very glad to have gotten to know her and, hopefully, brought some joy and companionship into her life during the year that I worked with her.

God bless your family. She really loved and talked about all of you a great deal.

I drove Lorayne to bridge on Wednesday mornings and home again for a short time last year. She was a great lady. We had some great talks about politics and her past. I am so glad that I got to know her. She will be greatly missed. Know this, she was very proud of her family. God bless you in your time of sorrow.
