"I have many fond memories of Lorraine, from her wonderful divinity candy, the talks we had together at her kitchen table when I was a little girl growing up on the same block she lived on, to the times we sat together at Mikkelson Manor with my Mother-inlaw, Bernice Muller having coffee and a cookie. She always greeted me with the biggest smile and hug to follow. She will be missed indeed, but it will be wonderful to see her in Heaven someday, where I'm sure she will be greeting me with the same big smile and loving hug she had for everyone. Love to you all."

"Iverson Family, It was such a pleasure caring for your loved one. I have many fond memories of Lorraine at Good Sams. I will never forget the scoldings i would get for smoking and all the stories she would tell me about her children. You were all very special to her. My thoughts and prayers are with you all, and please take care."

"Cheri, Steven, Mark & Families, I was one of the "Toro Pals" and worked with your mom most of the time. She talked lovingly about each of you and also of your dad, Harvey. She was a wonderful friend in those days. I was sorry to hear of her passing and pray that God gives you strength in this time of sadness. She is free now from her infirmities and with her Lord. Blessed be her memory."
