Dear John, Andy and Ben, We're sorry to hear of your wife and mother's passing. We have many, many great memories of your family and will always remember Loraine for her smile and good nature, her intelligence and kindness. Even though the years pass without connecting, whenever we did connect, it seemed as if we picked up like it was yesterday. Your memories will keep her alive in your hearts forever. Blessings.
