I remember Lori as a wonderful person, warm, friendly, loving. She was a favorite cousin of mine. I know she is missed by many.

Dear Moran/Dienes family
We were sad to learn of Lorraine's passing. Both my sister, Helen, and I always loved her, she was very special to us. Lorraine was always happy and we enjoyed being with her. Even tho we haven't seen her for a while, we both thought of her often. My in-laws lived at 5300 Hutchinson street, so Lorraine always came to mind.
We will miss her and you have our deepest sympathy for your loss.
Lorraine's cousins: Helen Chapman, California and Betty Barbe

Dear Moran Family,
I remember walking to your house on many occacations as a girl looking for my grandma Esther. Mrs. Moran would greet me with a huge hug and ask me why I always rang the doorbell! She told me to just come in, her door was always open. She was a sweet woman and I remember her and my grandma's deep and cherished friendship. I am so sorry for your loss, but she is in a better place now. God Bless.

It is with overwhelming sadness that I salute my cousin who I always lovingly called Crazy Lorraine . . . Lorraine was inspirational to me and I always wanted to grow up to be just like her -- particularly her sense of humor and her patience . . . she will be missed. My sincerest and deepest sympathy to Lorraine's family.

Dear Moran Family,
Your Mother was one of the greastest women I ever new. The way she loved her family and friends was an honor to witness. Lean on each other during this difficult time because each other is the gift she left you.
Know she's in God's hands now.

Dear Moran Family,
Your Mom was a wonderful person. She loved life and the people in it. I could count on her being at our softball games cheering like a sailor as you rounded the bases. The beauty of this was, you didn't have to be a Moran - she cheered for everyone. All I can say is God must be calling up his first string players this year. Your Mom is in good company. May the comfort of your siblings and friends help you through this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I am honored to tbe the first of many to express my love for Mrs. Moran. To all the children I give my deepest sympathy. And, to my Mom, I give a shoulder to cry on, in the loss of her dearest friend. The Belle Plaine Years were the greatest. You could set your clocks by the Friday 10AM shopping trips to the grocery store, and the daily coffee hours in Lorraine's kitchen. Even when I lived out of state, if I wanted to talk to my mom, and it was 10AM, Central Standard Time, I would instinctively dial Mrs. Moran's house. Lorraine would answer, and say, "here she is, Linda dear". I will miss that voice on the other end of the line. It is comforting to know that Kate and Mr. Moran have her in their midst now. God Bless Everyone who is feeling the loss of Mrs. Moran.
