My Mom, Nancy May was reminiscing today about all the wonderful times spent with Lorraine and Tony. I had the pleasure of babysitting while they partied. Both are truly missed.
With Deepest Sympathy for Lorraine’s Family for your loss.
Lorraine will be missed by the Red Hat girls.
I worked with Lorrie for many years at Shady Maple Smorgasbord. Her sweet and kind personality made many days happy ones. Always a smile through the good and bad! She will be surely missed and will never be forgotten!
My deepest sympathy to all her children!
Lorraine and Tony were neighbors in Downingtown in the late 60s and early 70s.
I have many happy memories of playing cards and laughing with Lorraine. She was so much fun and there was never a dull moment when we got together. I will really miss seeing her. Our deepest condolences to Tony, Billy and Michelle.
