Very sad to hear of Lorraine's passing. I admired her dearly as I had worked with her at Lakewood Medical for quite a few years. My thoughts and prayers to her family and close friends. I haven't seen Lorraine in years but thought of her often. She was a good friend and will always be remembered! Suzanne - Posted by: Suzanne Paille () on: Apr 10, 2017
