Okay here is what I know about Lorraine aka Laurie not Lori. She lived some where on the coast of Florida . She had a husband named Tom. Worked either as a lifeguard or in the medical field. And died of an apparent heart attack in or around 1945.

She was known to my grandmother Piper. Who told me about her and I am trying to find out if she has any family left. I want to get in touch with them if possible. There are some things about that time that my grandmother always wondered about for example who was the little boy that was trapped in the water and what was Lorraine reading that scared her so much she had a heart attack?
Let me know if any of this sound like something you have heard a family member talk about, you can email me at ngwebmaster@yahoo.com

I also want to get in contact with her family before I write my book about my grandmothers meeting them. I want to know what is real and what is fiction and if have any thing to add. Also i want their permission before I publish it.

Thank you for your help.

PS her remains where cremated and put into an urn. That I think had a red medical cross on it. That is if I am remembering the story correctly. There was also a cliff over looking the ocean that had a staircase leading down to a very small and secluded beach. There where also a bunch of tunnels that my grandmother had been told where used during prohibition.

PPS Tom may or may not still be alive he would be nearing 105 I think if he is. And Lorraine had a best friend named Christina.
