"We are sorry for your lose of Lorraine! She was always special to us when we saw her. Some of the games that Andy played in against my sons, I didn't get much time to see them play. Just too much talking going on. I am so happy that my sister (Myrna) was able to come up spend some time with her! They have always been very good friends. With her doing that I got to spend a wonderful time with her at that time also. I know she is in heaven and now has no pain. She will be missed on this earth! I wish I could be there on Friday. Just can't make it."
