Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Love Pat Acker and Family

I was so sorry to hear about your Mom. We had so many wonderful times when your family lived across the street from us on Floral Drive. I will never forget some of the funny situations our mothers got got themselves into or tried to get out of…special memories that still make me smile.
Blessings

Dear Karen,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family. Your mom is now at peace and even though she is gone you will always have those special memories to cherish in your hearts. She is now watching over all of you.
Sincerely,
Carolyn Sidney-Smith
Dear Sandy,
My heart, thoughts and prayers are with you and the family at this time. I know it is really hard to lose your mom; but always remember she will be in your heart forever. Your mom will be looking down and giving her strength, guidance, support and much love to you. Low Rain was very kind, friendly, wise and never had a hard time making me laugh!
She made my road-trips from Rochester to Cleveland very fun and enjoyable. Low Rain gave me a lot of good advice and wise feedback on those trips.
I crack up every time I think about the time your mom was teaching me and Junior how to properly slow dance, one of the nights before your wedding in her living room. I have to admit she had all the right moves and was even able to avoid my stupid feet. The dance lesson obviously followed one of Low Rain’s famous ‘Pigs in a Blanket’ feasts.
Stay strong and keep the Faith,
Love,
Tom
I do so regret that distance has kept us from getting to know each other as adults. The memories I have of family gatherings and of your mother are very special to me. I will miss your Mom -just knowing she was there was comforting to me. I will chant that we meet again in another life. If any of you would like to have contact please contact me at the above email address. After talking to my mother it seems that your Mom had a peaceful transition….I will miss her greatly. Love and Peace….Diane
I just wanted to say that I will always remember aunt Lorraine’s great sense of humor and kind ways. When I was in high school i used to drive over to see her just to talk and sit and laugh with her,
She understood what wild kids we all could be and would joke about anything.
She loved her family though all the hardships and her family showed how much they will always love her .
Karen,Candy,Rob,Bill and Sandy My heart goes out to you and your families. Im sorry. I know your mom is in a happy place with all those she loved that went before her. I love the pictures,your mom was so beautiful. Carol
