A truely lovely lady. So many memories of summer lunches with Lorraine and Russell when I was with Mum and Dad years ago. Lorraine was a generous person who always made people feel welcome. I particularly enjoyed my afternoons spent with Lorraine when I was newly married. She met me at the Devon Port ferry terminal and delivered me back to the ferry on many occasions. Jill M
