Lorraine had a big impact on my life. She was a positive, loving, intelligent,charismatic person. She was a great teacher and encourager. I knew her through an Art Therapy Group of about 6 women. We met with Lorraine for about 5 years. I so looked forward to every meeting. She was a great
leader of meditations, with music and art. She loved her husband Jack and her sons and family. A part of her will always reside in my heart. I will never forget her advice, smile and hugs. Our prayers to the family. God Bless You all. Love, Dianne, Alan, Laura and Mark.
We loved to see Lorraine when she came to visit Rich. We all had fun. She was a great lady and loved to shop and loved art. Our sympathy to all. We are neighbors of Rich and Linda Cronquist in Tempe, AZ
Dave, My prayers are with you and your family.

Don & Dave,
My deepest sympathies go out to you and your families, and of course your brother’s. Although my mother is still with us, I lost my father a few years ago, so I know what a hole it leaves to loose someone that raised you and loved you, like no one else could but a parent.
My wife and family also want to express their sympathies. God Bless

Lorraine was a generous and creative spirit whose warmth and kindness helped me in my early days as an MFT in Federal Way with Center for Counseling & Learning. Later, she encouraged me to “wake up” long dormant Art ability and to paint together. She is with the Lord and Jack and will be missed by many. Comfort to all the family in her loss.
Blessings, Karen and Rick McMichael
May God comfort and give a peaceful spirit to all Lorraine’s family and loved ones.
Our heartfelt condolences to the Sando families and friends of Lorraine. We know that she will be missed by many people. We are sorry that we cannot be at the service on Sunday to lend support, but will be thinking of the family near and far. Our thoughts are with you.
Leroy and Evelyn
Lorraine’s contributions to the annual Swedenborgian conventions will be missed, especially her pre-convention workshops. She was a creative artist and leader.
I enjoyed knowing Lorraine in the Highline branch of AAUW. She was enthusiastic about the activities she chose to participate in. I enjoyed knowing her.
I was so blessed to have crossed paths and enjoyed our long friendship tremendously. Miss you so much but feel I enjoyed a very long farewell and feel your presence. Glad you are with Jack. DK
