    Lorraine meant the world to me. We met in 1980 when I worked at hardy and Hayes and she took me under her wing. Lorraine was my mentor and dearest friend. She was family to me. We shared many jazz nights, trips to Lorraine Ohio, Cedar Point, and dinners with continuous laughter. I missed her when she moved away and I will miss having her in my life, but until we meet again, Lorraine, I love you! Connie Peszko- Keay
