So very sorry to hear of Lorraine's passing. She's a great lady, I can't tell you how many times I was over at her house since the early 70's. Ken and I worked for years at the monument company. We helped out when Ken and I were in high school, college, and when we were married and had children. She has always been in my thoughts since Ken's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with her brother Dan and his family, Susan, Nicole, Kyle and the rest of her family. Craig Kennedy and Family
