  • Lorraine was a friend to all and we were so blessed to have her as a friend. She was fun to be with and always willing to be part of any golf game. She was creative and always took care of everyone by bringing her home cooking for treats and making lots of nifty things for golf (seat warmers, bags, windshield for those courses that didn't have carts with windshields etc., etc. Please accept my heartfelt condolences in your loss. This has taken everyone by surprise and it is so hard to believe she will no longer be a part of our golfing/email groups. We will miss her dearly. - Posted by: Sharon Lomonaco (golf buddy, email buddy and dear friend) on: Jul 22, 2013
