Lorraine was such a wonderful and beautiful lady! I will always remember her fun loving spirit. Lorraine will never be forgotten by me. She was a true Beta Sigma Phi sister to me and so many others. She was good to me, my husband, Chris and to my daughters. We all loved her. Lorraine always made me laugh and feel good even when I was down. I know she is making everyone smile and laugh in Heaven! I am thinking about you and praying for you Ed. May God bless you.
Love,
Leola and Chris Meyer
