I just saw this while checking Don Caudle's page. Our hearts go out to you all. Even if the result is expected, there is never really a time that we want to let go completely. Lorraine is one of the many faces we expected to see when the old EP bunch gathered anywhere. She left a great legacy and will be missed.
