To all the Schaefges Family, I was a friend of your parents during Acapulco adventures and at home, and just read about your mom's passing. Nothing but fond memories came flooding back for two wonderful and enjoyable people. May God bless you all and may you know the joy they brought to many friends.

Jane,Toby,Shawn,Gavin and family,

I am so sorry for the loss of Lorraine. She was a wonderful woman. She made me laugh with some of the things she would say. You were very fortunate to have such a great mother,mother-in law and grandmother. May God comfort you.
