    Auntie Lorraine was a very special aunt. She was so loving and kind and always sang your praises. She prayed for her family and others every night. She was kind, courageous and independent. She designed, printed and sent out the most beautiful cards for special occasions. Her smile and laughter could light up a room. She is finally with her beloved and dearly missed husband and her brothers and sisters. Out of pain… Rest In Peace Aunte Lorraine. We will miss you terribly ❤️

    Barbara, I never met your mom, but I know that loosing a parent is always hard on the family. Sending prayers for you and your family to know she is not in anymore pain or discomfort. Always know that I am here for you to talk to any time. I pray she has made peace with God and is with him.
    Love you, Your long time friend, Kathy

    To my loving aunt. Will miss you so much. After my parents were gone you made me feel like they were still around. I could call you anytime. You replaced the phone calls I could no longer have with them. Say hi to the family. Rest In Peace
