Mary and Laura - just a quick note to say you are both in my prayers and I will say an extra prayer to get you through this very difficult time. Lorraine was very fortunate to have the love and support from each of you. She is at peace now with her family. Time heals all wounds and soon fond memories will replace your heartbreak. Please let me know if I can do anything for you.

Dear Laura & Jill,
You both took such good care of Aunt Lorriane that all I can say is Thank You. We didn't get to see much of her after we moved to FL. We did enjoy seeing her at family reunions when we were up visiting. Now she is in gods hands with Art & Tim & her folks. She is now joined with my beloved husband Phil. Please know that you both are in my prayers.
Love,
Chris Mittelstaedt
