Lorraine always tried to look on the bright side of things and could find good in anyone or anything. She respected the opinion and beliefs of others. She enjoyed keeping up with the news. She was a wonderful dancer and enjoyed singing along with American Standards. Lorraine took pride in her children and was proud that they are good people who are loving, kind and generous to others.
