I have many fond memories growing up living down the street from Red & Lorraine in Crestwood. I remember her being very kind, and wonderful to us neighborhood kids. She always had time to talk to us and ask us questions. I remember her dog, Taffy that followed her everywhere. She was a great lady who left a lasting impression. Many prayers to her family.
