Dear Andy,
We were so very sad to hear of Lorraine's passing while we were away. We lit a candle and said a prayer for her, while at Holy Shrine in Portugal last week. Although we had only spent a few occassions together (through our mutual friend Michele), it was truly a privilege to have met Lorraine. We have you in our thoughts.
Most Sincerely,
Elaine Gonsalves & Paul Hanke

Auntie Lorraine will be deeply missed by all. She was a radiant, vibrant person who could not get enough of life. She didn't have enough time on Earth. All those who knew her, they'd say it was a privelge to know such a fun-loving person. Noboby wanted to see her go. She fought a courageous battle. We all thought she live too. She's in a better place now; were nothing can slow her down. I want her to now that I love her and will miss her so much. She's was a great aunt and I have so many wonderful memories that I will cherish for eternity. Love you, Auntie Lorraine.

To the Cosgrove and Ware Families,
Please accept my deepest sympathy for the loss of Lorraine. When I heard of Lorraine's passing I couldn't help but think of all the conference rooms and hallways at IDC she lit up with her energy and her smile. She was a very special person who touched a lot of lives in a positive way. She will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.
