George and Lorraine Knight were good friends of my Mom and Dad - Dick and Jo Yeager before George passed away. When I went through their photos I found several that perhaps the family would like. I am in the Durango Phone book. Patt Yeager Emmett

I will always remember "Miss" Lorraine along with the other ladies waiting in our lobby for their rides to church every Sunday morning, always with her warm smile and good morning greeting. She had a beautiful soul and good spirit that radiated from within her, making my Sundays brighter with those greetings. She was such a sweet lady and, I'm sure, she will be sadly missed by all her family, her friends here at Tamarin, and at Cottonwood, perhaps especially by her friend, "Miss" Francis and by her church friends.

May there be comfort from above for all who loved her and will miss her. With my deepest sympathy, Linda P.
