Lorraine Long

Lorraine was my sponsor when I was baptized at 2 weeks old. She prayed for me (and later also for my family) faithfully for over 64 years. I have been blessed not only by her prayers, but also by her faith, wisdom, insights, and kindness throughout my life, especially through our lengthy phone conversations over the years. I look forward to when we meet again in heaven.

My dear aunt Lorraine, I will always remember how much she loved children. All children, no matter who's they were or where they came from. Rest in God's loving peace.

I am Ross Metzger of Trinity Pines who was a neighbor of Lorraine. One day Lorraine asked me do you know or are related to the Metzgers in Milwaukee Wisconsin who had a corner grocery store. It turned out that my grandfather and grandmother owned that corner grocery store probably back in the 1940s. My mom and dad were married at the same Lutheran church where Lorraine and my grandparents attended. Talk about a small world to meet someone in Lake Mills who as a little girl knew my grandparents. Enjoy the glory that God promised you Lorraine, and sympathies to her family.

My Sharon, Lorraine's neice, really enjoyed staying connected with her aunt. Lorraine stayed in contact with me after Sharon’s passing. We both enjoyed all of the Menning stories.May Lorraine find peace and comfort in the arms of Jesus and her Heavenly Father. She and Sharon are catching up now aling with Mom Long! Michael Huffman
