I was so sad to hear about Lorraine passing. She was always a good friend of my parents and she was always a joy to see when I came to visit. My most fond memory was when she came with my mother to Alaska and I took them to exit glacier, they had signs up to keep people away from the glacier but Lorraine had to go up and touch the glacier and it was just flat out funny!
What a shock for your family and all of your friends. We -especially the Concord Club members- will not forget our quiet and modest, always smiling friend, Lorraine…. and we will miss you dearly.

I am very saddened by this news. I always remember Lorraine with her welcoming smile when she worked at Dr. Alonzo’s office. She always made me feel like a friend that she hadn’t seen in a year, rather than a patient. RIP Lorraine. God bless you for a life well lived.
