So very sorry for your loss. Loath was a special person who I had the pleasure to work with at several insurance companies. One if the highlights was catching up with her at annual conferences in Washington, D.C.every spring. She will be missed.

Mary – Cliff and I (Black Angus neighbors – a million years ago) are so so sorry to hear of Lorah’s passing. We connected in 2020 as we were planning to go to Portugal – and of course, Lorah and John knew all the best places to go to eat and stay. Our sincere condolences. Nancy and Cliff
