Lorraine and Daniel,
We are so sorry for your loss. We love you and are here for you if you need anything.
Love,
Scott, Leigh, Jack and Kyle Trayer
I am so very sorry for the loss of your mother and grandmother. She was always feisty and loving and loved you both very much.
The pain will go away but never the wonderful memories of times shared…her wonderful chicken cutlets and of course, the coconut cream pies. She loved sharing in family and was at every soccer game cheering you on Daniel. And she was always very proud of all you have accomplished Lorraine.
She will always be with you in heart and mind, watching you and smiling down upon you both.
Always,
Dan and Dad
