The Sunday after we moved in next door to Gordon and Lorraine, there was a knock at the door. Gordon had come to invite us over for pie with him and Lorraine. We spent 2 hours chatting in the basement over pie and goodies. We had many wonderful conversations "over the fence". Lorraine was always happy to see us and happy to share a smile. She was a fantastic neighbor and we will miss her.

One of my fondest memories of Aunt Loraine are the summer afternoons spent swimming in her pool. She would invite us for lunch and a swim. I never wanted to get out of the water and she would nag my mom into staying a little longer. She would then get out the ranger cookies and we would get to swim a little longer. I sure loved the cookies and the hugs we would get before heading for home.
She also like to come and visit us on the farm, walk in the woods, and watch the birds. I'll miss those visits and miss her.

I suppose one of my fondest memories would have to be, when we would come over while our parents were at work. We brought countless movies, but one of our favorites was the "Back to the Future" series. Grandma came downstairs to check on us and we would be quoting the movie. We would find out later that Grandma thought it was a horrible movie for us. Granted, I was 6 and my sister was 9 so her concern was sound. But we would just laugh and reply, "We hear worse at school Grandma!" She would just shake her head and walk back up the stairs. That concern for us stayed with us even through these past 5 years. She was genuinely a thoughtful and concerning grandmother who wanted to do nothing but keep her grandchildren happy. She will be deeply missed.

Although there were times we would bicker she was still a loving grandmother to myself and my sister. One of the best memories I have of her is when she and grandpa would take us to Chuck E Cheese. They would buy us what seemed like a million tokens and we would go on our merry way. I would always gravitate toward a particular game and play it without any regard for how much I was spending. Grandma would always follow me to that game and constantly ask, "Are you going to play only that game and waste all your tokens?" I would just smile and say "Yes grandma, I like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." I don't know why but that has stuck with me all this time. I think she secretly understood what it was like to love something and keep coming back to it. Maybe that's why she loved us so much. :)
