I was friends with Lorraine for more than 60 years. She was the best and kindest of friends. I remember her as a young woman who excelled in every sport and was a top student. You may remember her as our Homecoming Queen. She bravely bore a long and debilitating illness with her husband, Larry,taking care of her. Theirs was a true and abiding love story. I miss you, my friend. Barbara Grinde McMurry
