I will miss our conversations. The laugher and hugs. I will miss your advice, your prayers and encouraging words. I will miss your smile, your jokes, and your selfless acts of kindness. I will miss your texts and phone calls, your random photos to cheer me up. Your solid foundation kept me grounded in my faith. The best love I could have received is a prayer from you. Praying for me when I didnt even ask. Beyond your 4 kids you birth you treated me like yours. You will forever be missed, loved and talked about. Love, Shona, Zamiah, Lillie and Mr. Dimples. 🤍🤍🤍

No words can do justice to such a beautiful soul, or explain the grief and loss I feel. For those who truly loved Lorraine and showed her by their actions, words and deeds, know what mean.
Lorraine never met a stranger and showed love, patience and kindness to everyone, even the ones who mistreated her. She remained loving, caring, and supportive through it all.
I will miss her amazing smile, sweet melodious voice, laugh, wisdom, and love. She was that "Proverbs" woman in this life. I called her my earth angel. And she was.
The world lost a light on October 22nd, 2025. But how can one grieve when God chooses to bless you with such an incredible earthly experience?
Thank you, God, and thank you, Lorraine, for being what "Jesus" told us all to be.
Gone but never forgotten. To my dearest, beautiful friend. I will always love you. And may you finally rest in peace.

What a gift she was and I’m so grateful we were present in each other’s lives.
Now Lorraine is in the Presence of The Father!!!

Aunt Lorraine is a sweet soul, and always has been in the time I've known her. She had a warmth about her that made me feel welcome, and a soft-spoken voice that put me at ease. A pure joy to be around. I think of her everyday, and now and again, wondering what quip she would make at the little things that didn't seem important then, but now carry so much weight in the words now unsaid. Of course I miss you, but you left a lot: of love, of kindness, of genuine caring. A little in all of us, because it was your way that in togetherness, these gifts you gave are plentiful.

I am still reeling from the news of your dear departed family member Lorraine, who just happened to be a friend. We’d spoken the day before, and I can assure you she was full of life! May God bless your family as you go through your healing ❤️🩹 process. Please accept my sincerest condolences 💐
