I'm sorry I wasn't able to attend Mrs. Orton's service. As I mentioned to Rob, from a hosting birthday party for Tammy when we here in elementary school to recent visits to the Lewes Yacht Club, she was a warm, engaging personality. My sincere condolences to the entire Orton family.
Rob and family so very sorry to hear about your Mom Lv seeing and talking to her in the bank . She was a beautiful lady .. Marie Reed
Barb and I were in the original Ship Shape lunch group started over 40 years ago.She was always ready with a laugh and a story about raising her family in Lewes and was always active with the Lioness group sharing their projects with us to help the Lewes community.I am grateful to have had her in my life and always remember her when I make her “”Crabbies Recipe”.
Dear Orton Family, My deepest sympathy to you all, Rob, Tammy ,and Tina, you took such good care of her for the past year. Keep your memories of the good times close. I have so many great memories of the beach days with you mom. She was a great foundation for your family.
