I'm so sad to learn of her passing. I tried several times over the years to locate Lorraine, but was not successful. We grew up on the same street in Chalfant Boro.

With sympathy and fond memories of Lorraine, God bless her family and classmates, always.

Sorry to hear about Lorraine’s passing. We became good friends through the softball team and enjoyed partying during our senior year and the summer after. I lost track of her when I went to college, and she enlisted. I contacted her parents before the last reunion and learned that she was living in MS. Unfortunately, she did not respond to the invitation at that time. May she Rest In Peace.

Certainly remember Lorraine! Such sad news. I am sure she was very proud of you. Also proud of her service to her country. Only good memories to always comfort you! All the best.

So sorry to hear about Lorraine. I remember her and Babe from high school...played basketball with Babe. Lost track of them after high school...was surprised to read Lorraine settled in the south. RIP Lorraine.
