I could always count on cookies in the jar, and coffee in the pot, when we stopped for a visit.

I worked/lived with Ardie and Lorraine for two plus years when I was still in high school. They both treated me like one of their own. We established a life long friendship. If I was to describe Lorraine in one word, it would be ..."Kindness". She truly cared for people... especially people in need of help. I am proud to call Ardie and Lorraine my friends. Thank you Lorraine for all you did for me!! Merv Heuer

Dearest Lorraine and family, how I enjoyed visiting you on the rare trip back to Wisconsin. You will always be my God Mother! Your grandchildren stories warmed my heart. Knowing Lee Ann and Jerry stopped in all the time helped somewhat ease Ardies loss. I was glad they stayed so close to you. May your loving husband and children rejoice with you for eternity. Love, Cindy.

CJ and I send out our heartfelt condolences for the loss to your family. Grandma’s are a gift, caring grandmothers are a blessing! Josh, in everything you shared with me about her, she was the best grandmother any grandson, and Megan, a granddaughter could ask for. You both were very fortunate to have a woman influencing your lives the way she did. I’m sure she is and will continue to be the positive influence she was while on earth! I also know she will always be there in your spirits and you’ll have many great stories to share! My heart hurts for you both and all who knew her! She lived a long and happy life having all of her family in it! So sorry for your loss.
