Art and Family, I am so sorry to hear of Lorraine’s passing. Lorraine and I were friends since our grammar school days at Worthington Hooker. Lorraine was my partner for several of our class reunions, I would say she was my date. Lorraine was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother. She looked forward to going with Art to Florida and on the cruises during the winter. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers! I will miss our phone conversations.
Fondly, Adele Grimaldi-Haas
