Lynn, Ronnie and family,

Thinking of you and fondly remembering your sweet Mom. She was a faithful friend to my parents (esp. my Mama). She carried on that friendship by writing me a "newsy" letter with her Christmas cards. They always included news of you, but mostly her pride and joy, Lori, John and Alex. Pray her passing was peaceful.

In sympathy and love,
Hope

Saying goodbye to such a sweet lady is hard. I've known Mrs. Lorraine for almost 30 years. I got to know her thru working with the library at Elaine. She was always so thoughtful & kind. I've received many get well cards from her thru the years. At the loss of each of my sisters & my Mom she wrote very thoughtful notes to me. She was special. Will miss seeing her in Walmart. So happy to have known her.

Dear Rainymom,
Because we are so close in age, you have been my friend as well as my aunt and surrogate mother. I know all your sisters including my blood mother are delighting in your presence in heaven. You will always have a special place in my heart.
