To Lorraine's family, Chris and I just learned of her passing. We are praying for you and want you to know that she was a wonderful friend to us. She will be greatly missed for her kindness and love of life.

Linda and Joni, For the past four months, I have called Lorraine's number and left a message asking her how she was doing. Today, 1/14/22, I called her and knew something was wrong when her messages were full. So, I called Rose at Pinnacle One and heard she passed two weeks ago. I kept telling her to give me Linda's number. Just want you to know that Lorraine was a wonderful person who I actually spent at least 12 years in the same room working with her. She was my friend, coworker, sister and even my counselor regarding personal problems. I truly, truly loved her and, as you can imagine, we never had a dull moment working together. Lorraine loved staying busy and working doing tax returns and accounting. She helped all kinds of people with their accounting and loved it. But, for me, Lorraine was a great sounding board in all aspects of my life. I will love and miss her forever, God Bless and Love, Rick Gamble
