Lorraine was a great friend of my family while growing up. She had a warm heart and a wonderful smile. One time I attended one of the girl's birthday party. After a great meal we all went for a walk. Lorraine was prepared in case we ran into any bad animals by carrying her gun. I was prepared by placing licorice in my flannel shirt pocket in case I needed a nibble. Long story short. We got lost in the woods. Lorraine tried to get help from Art by shooting off the gun three times then we all yelled. It did not work. I shared my licorice with Lorraine and nearly choked her. I had no idea it was all fuzzy from my shirt. Happy ending came when we found ourselves on the road. From then on I thought of Lorraine as a hero. She was able to keep all of us calm. Rest in peace my friend.
