We shared so many good times with you, Mom. We also went through some difficult times, and you've had more than a fair share of those, but you never gave up. You taught us perseverence, you taught us the value of hard work, you taught us that there's a silver lining with every cloud that blows our way, and mostly, you taught us love. Thank you for teaching us how to give in this life. I will try to be patient as I wait for that day when I'll see you again. I love you!

Lorraine's kindness and caring touched everyone she encountered in her life here on earth. Her smile made everyone feel loved and gave them a renewed sense of hope. She will be missed greatly but her legacy will live on in her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. I am honored to have been the daughter of such a courageous and gracious woman.
