Such a beautiful dedication for a beautiful woman. No words have ever been more true. I always felt so much warmth and love whenever I was with her and enjoyed witnessing the love she gave to the family! She so loved cuddling those great-grandchildren! And the pride she had in her children and grandchildren always showed. She will be greatly missed!
Lorraine was my best friend for years. We both worked at Tally Defense . I don’ t know how terrible it will be to not see her any more.
She loved her family and friends very much expecially her husband. She will always be with me in my heart and soul.
