Only time will heal the loss. It will take time to know that Sis is closer to us all now. She is in our heart and mind and we can feel her love with a simple thought or word remembered. Cherish those memories. Sis now lives in our hearts forever. Wishing all who read this the peace that comes with time and cherished memories. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all forever.

We wanted to send you our love and prayers in this time of sorrow. She was a wonderful woman who reminded me of my own Mother whom I lost 11 years ago. I hope you can find some solace in your memories of your times together. She has gone to be with her loved ones and is at peace in the arms of our Lord!
Love Robert and Melanie

My deepest sympathy to all of you. I did Lorraine’s hair for so many years on East Chestnut Street (Marianne and Donna’s) as well as in my home Salon. She was a wonderful customer! She was very dependable and we had great times and shared many laughs together. I will always remember her and her kindness. I am deeply saddened and shocked to hear of her passing. To all of you, I am deeply sorry for your loss.
I would like to express to you Cindy, and all the members of your family, my deepest sympathy following the loss of your mother. I hope my thoughts and prayers will provide a measure of comfort to you during this difficult time.
As you may notice here, my mother also has just died.
Jill A. Greenawalt, LCHS ’73
