Donna & Rich & families. I was shocked as well as saddened to read in the Indiana Gazette about Lorinda’s passing. Please accept my sincere sympathy & heartfelt sorrow. Shortly after your mom passed away I saw Lorinda several times when she worked at the Back to Nature Store in Indiana. She always took a little time to talk & was always very pleasant. I also remember sitting on your front porch in McIntyre! Such wonderful memories! Marie
