Love you
Lorene was a wonderful person and it was a great pleasure knowing her. We hadn't keep in touch as much the last couple of years and that I will regret. She is with her husband and daughter now and I know she is very happy about that. She will be greatly missed.
She was a sweet great grandma to my son Josh. He sure will miss her. Sorry that I didn't get to know her real well. Praying for the family.
Lorene loved her family dearly. She would have liked some of her family with her day and night. When it started getting dark she thought everyone should be home getting ready for bed. Lot of memories these last few years, she loved to be on her lawn mower mowing the lawn. When she was 88 she wanted David and to help her on the riding mower so she could help him get the lawn mowed. Lorene was ready to be with her family that was waiting in paradise for her.
In loving memory, Donnie, keri,Courtney,Jessica,brooklyn
