I always enjoyed visiting with Lorraine. She graduated from high school with my Dad, Cordy Fuller. He passed away several years ago and Lorraine always brought back fond memories. Lorraine and I were members of the Pearson and Crandon congregations together until we both moved to be near our children. I feel very blessed to have known her and look forward to being friends with her again. She spoke so often of you and you could see and hear the love you had for each other in her voice. It is so hard to loose a parent but I pray the hope we have been given by Jehovah will help you through this difficult time.
Dear Judy and Felix
My deepest sympathy for the loss of your Mother, she sounded like a wonderful Mother and person. I know how much you will miss her. Judy you were the the most loving daughter a mother could have.
