Hayes, Ronnie and Family,
Thinking of you all in this difficult time. Glad that my wife and I were able to see you today. I remember your mom so well, she visited Lillan's often and I always enjoyed seeing her and your dad. Glad I shared a part of her life with the visits. Will try and get those photos to you all soon. Take Care, Marion, Sherry and Kendall Berry

Haynes, Ronnie, and family,
I'm saddened by the death of Lorraine. She and I worked together for 8 years at the Mental Health Center. She was one of the kindest persons that I have known. A true lady. Her life was an inspiration to all who knew her. My condolences to you all.

Thank you for sharing your Mother with us. We consider it an honor to have had the priviledge to take care of your little "southern belle" for the last few years. We will miss her bright shiny personality!
