Dear Frank, Kara, Dave and Lucas,
I am in total shock and disbelief in hearing this sad news. Lorraine and I go way back to our St. Mary’s days back in the 1960s. Lorraine was a true and dear friend who was very kind and loving and always saw the best in people. Heaven gained a new angel. Love you Lor, until we meet again.
Lorraine and I had been good friends in St. Mary’s High School . We reconnected a few years ago and we were able to get together occasionally with other high school friends. Many times her illness prevented her from going out so, we kept in touch through texts and Lorraine alway had uplifting words for me. I am so grateful that we had the opportunity to reconnect and laugh about old times. I will miss her. My sincere condolences to her family. Rest in peace Lor.
Love ,
Lucia
