Lincoln, NE Wednesday, October 3, 2018 Dear Paul and Karen,We were so sorry to hear of Lorene's passing. We were neighbors on E. 3rd Street for a couple years and she was such a sweet neighbor and friend. We were a very young couple and Paul and Lorene were so good to us, including us in neighbor doings.
May she rest in peace,
Roy and Tookie Mohr
