Very sorry to learn of Lorraine's death. I got to know her through Piggly Wiggly and through Buzzy Newton. She was a delight to know and to work with. God's peace to the entire family at this time.

Remembering all the fun and craziness we had in High School at BEHS Class of 62. Haven´t seen her in all these years but just seeing her face today made me smile and I was happy to know she had a loving life, great family , and friends.
