To the Cewe family,
She was a good friend and the classiest woman we ever met. She will be missed by all. May God Bless you all with happy memories.
I am so sorry to hear about Lorraine’s passing. She was such a caring and vivacious person. I had so much fun with her as she worked on my nails. I will miss her a lot. To her family, I am truly sorry.
No words can ease the pain of losing a loved one so dear as a spouse or a parent but hopefully you will find comfort in knowing how many lives Lorraine has touched as she was a very dignified, clathat always had a kind word…ssy, careing and loving woman .
You probably don’t remember me, but I went to HS with you Dave & Lorraine when you were dating. Then I remember seeing you at the reunion in Wallingford and you were STILL having fun!!!!! You have been blessed with 44 years but she will sooooo be missed, especially her zest for life. Please accept my deepest sympathies to you and your family. My heart goes out to you.
To Dave and family, I am truly sadden by the loss of Lorraine. Words cannot express the sadness that I feel. She was such a sweet lady and so proud of her family. You could see how she loved them as she talked about them all the time. God does strange things that we do not understand. Embrace your memories as that will help you get thru the days ahead. May God Bless you all and help you get thru this. I am going to miss not only as my manicurist but as a friend also. My sincere sympath to the whole family, Anna Ferrauolo
