My beloved Aunt Lorraine, it was always a joy to see you and be lifted by your vibrant enthusiasm for life, your family and the people you loved. I remember stories you told from the time I was little, and how you made us all laugh with your beautiful smile leading the way. What an open and loving heart! Now you have gone ahead and are with others we love. We will all see you again, and that time will be full of joy. May the peace that passes understanding be with my cousins, their children and grandchildren, your sisters and their husbands, and all of us who knew and loved you.

We have been friends with Lorraine for over fifty years. We were such good friends
when we met her and Alan her husband who also passed away; several years ago.
She will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Aunt Lorraine’s beauty was both inside and outside. She was also one of the most positive and encouraging people that anyone could hope to meet! One of my favorite memories happened while I was in high school. Aunt Lorraine and my mother, Betty, were harmonizing on a whole bunch of old songs they had sung together as teenagers. Two sisters who loved each other very much blending their voices in song. It was one of those rare, beautiful Kodak moments!
We will miss Aunt Lorraine until we get to see her again, but until then, we have many wonderful memories to console us. Warm thoughts and deep prayers go out for all fellow survivors. In loving memory from Bob
