So sad that the beautiful light of my sweet cousin Lorraine has been extinguished. I will always remember the adorable little face of Lorraine at family gatherings at the Pfeiler Ranch. Sleep peacefully, lovely Lorraine -- you are always in our hearts.

To Lou's family! Lou was an amazing lady to say the least. I have ordered feed from her for 20 plus years and our friendship has grown from there. We talked a lot about her grand kids, my grand kids or whatever that day allowed to chat about. Lou loved her family to say the least. I had the pleasure of meeting her a few years back when we came to visit the office. She loved her job and was a huge asset to whoever she came in contact with. She will be truly missed Deepest Sympathies, Joe Nilles

I am so sorry for your loss. I have worked with Lou for about 16 years. I work at Land O Lakes and QLF is one of our vendors. She was always so pleasant, so quick to answer my questions and a joy to talk to over the phone. Although I had never met her in person I felt like we were really close with all our phone chats. Did not always have to be business. I will truly miss her --Hugs and prayers to her family and her QLF family.
