I am so sorry for your loss. I happened to reconnect with your Mom almost a decade ago (for which I am so grateful). She giggled when I told her she scared the daylights out of me, but I saw her in a different light than that of a child. What a wonderful, strong, funny and loving individual.
I know you will carry Lorraine , her memory and her teachings with you forever…
