Mrs. "B" was truly an angel here on earth.  We will always be thankful for the kindness and support that she, Joe and the entire Goughnour family showed when Mom was ill.  
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Our thoughts and love go out to the family of Gran.  I have fond memories of visiting her home for holiday dinners and also stopping by for a bite at Smitty's with Joey.  She was a wonderful lady and will be deeply missed.

Our hearts and prayers go out the family of MS Lorraine. Albeit I never met MS Lorraine I know her character by the fine son she raised James, Good man with a good mom. We're sorry for your loss.
Don McDowell, Family and Staff

We are so sorry to lose our dear friend Lorraine!  We would play Mexican Train and Chicken Foot and she was so happy and said it kept her mind off her troubles.  I was over to see her on Saturday and she said I am not in any pain and she was doing well. I told her I would be bringing the dominoes to her house soon and she was all for it.  We will miss her a lot but are happy for her as she got to go to heaven and not have to worry about that Nasty Cancer any more! Love and peace to all her family!          Rockie Eisenman

The angels have welcomed my beautiful friend into Heaven with open arms. May you rest in peace. Condolences to your entire family. I will always miss you.
Love,

Born on New Years Eve, 1929, passed away peacefully on April, 6th, 2015. A Mother, Grandmother and Great-Grandmother who loved her family and friends dearly. She fought a courageous battle with cancer and suffered without even so much as a tear or complaint. Our hearts are broken, but we are grateful that she is in heaven with her late husband and soulmate, Joseph Buffington and their dogs. Lorraine is survived by her daughter Shirley Kearns (husband Michael), Sons Edward Goughnour (wife Gwen deceased) and James Goughnour (wife Dolores); Step-Daughter Jill Flynn (husband Bill), Step-Son Joe Buffington Jr. (wife Adriene); Granddaughters Sarah Maxwell (husband Jon), Lisa Millar (husband Rick) and Grandsons Joseph Mignacca (wife Heather), Mike Kearns (wife Shanna), David Kearns (wife Wendy); and eleven Great-grandchildren.

Lorraine was really a nice lady and we enjoyed our visits with her. She had a long and good life with her children. She will be missed but her memories remain. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I'll always remember the love Lorraine had for the family. She was the "rock" that everyone gathered around when we got together. I'll miss her deeply.
