Add Your Remembrance

Dear Bill and Ed,

I am so sorry to hear about the death of your wife and mom. She was so kind and understanding with me in the summer of 1973. After Sandi had graduated from MSU and was preparing to go to Orange County Medical Center, I spent the summer in Billings preparing to go to Sacred Heart Medical Center and worked cleaning windows at St. Vincents. I was quite taken with Sandi, and followed her to Billings in hopes that something might develop between us. However it was the wrong time for us and Loraine helped me to see that. My thoughts of Loraine all these years were of a kind, loving, wise, and gentle classy person. I was pleased to have known her. My prayers and thoughts are with you at this difficult time.

In remembering Loraine, I can't help but remember Sandi too for she seemed to me a lot like her mother. Sandi was beautiful inside and out. I can't believe she is gone and my heart is broken that I didn't keep in touch and didn't even know. There is no excuse for losing touch with friends who are the most important things in our lives along with family. I was incredibly blessed to know Sandi and I will carry her in my heart always as I remember her when I last saw her with Gus in Irvine in 1982.

If you see this email and would like to respond to it my email is drsignotthome@yahoo.com.

Sincerely yours,

Sig Nottingham DVM, MSU class of 1973
