Dear Rise, Ralph and family,
So sorry to read of the passing of your mother. May you take comfort in your memories!
Our sincerest sympathies to all of the Kohlmeyer children on the passing of your mother. She will be missed.
I was so sorry to hear of your loss, Carl, and all Lorraine's other children. I became very close to Carl and his mom, while working with Carl at the Holiday Inn South, was very lucky to be able to give Carl rides home from work on occasion and therefore able to visit with Lorraine. She was a very strong and wonderful woman who never gave up and did a fine job of instilling her goodness in Carl. God Bless you all and if you ever want to visit, Carl, give me a call at 775-2305, would be great to hear from you, Kathy Bond
Blessings to all the Kohlmeyer clan. Many fond memories remain of your mom from years ago.
Mike
Very sorry to hear; Lorraine will be missed by many. I remember hearing that she was happiest when all her children were home - and now they are. She'll be smiling from heaven, for certain. Hugs to her entire family.
