Dear family of Lorraine - Just heard about Lorraine's passing and wish to send you all our most sincerely sympathy for your loss. I have known Lorraine through my cousin for over 50 years, and although our paths did not cross often, I always liked her. May God Bless you all and give your mom everlasting peace.

Lorraine, I just want to say that it was such a pleasure to meet such a wonderful person that I met in you.We became very good friends from the moment we met.I have never before met a stronger person in my life and I thank God that I had the honor.Billy proposed to me tonight and he done it properly like you told him to.You would have been so proud, he got on one knee and made me cry my eyes out. I only wish that you were here so I could tell you all about it.I know that you wouldnt come back if you could, I only want you to know that I wish that you could have been a part of all of this, but I know that God needed you there and I just look forward to the day that we can all be together in heaven, I am so glad that I got to meet one of the strongest people that I have ever known. You will forever be a part of our lives, and I promise you that I will love Billy till the day that I get to go be with Jesus...Thank you for inspiring me so much and being so wonderful....Gail

Hi Mom,
Thanks for asking Jesus to heal Everette, just got back from the hospital and he is going to be ok. Even though you Gail and myself never made it to the penny slots we did win. On the way through Kentucky I played the penny slots for you and won ten dollars, I remembered you saying don't get greedy so I took the ten dollars and left. I gave it to Gail and she bought us some food for the rest of the trip. I talked to Karen and Jenny today and they are doing ok as well as Greg, Gail, Megan, Nicole and Ryan. I know you never got to see your family video so I posted the pictures here for you to see.

Hi Mom, Gail and I stopped in Cincinatti since we were tired and knew you wou would worry that we would be too tired to drive. I called Jenny and and asked how her and Karen were doing and Jenny said both were fine and Jenny would stay with Karen for the night. Mom don't worry about Jenny or Karen as I will always look out for them. We will be fine and I know you are with grandma and grandpa looking over us. Aunt Rosie will be wactching over us to make sure we are all okay. Gail and her family are doing ok but please say a prayer for her brother-in-law Everette since he is in the the hospital but with your prayers I know Jesus will make him ok. Mom you made me so strong and I love and miss you so much!
I will always love you and miss you dearly...Billy.

The neighborhood has changed so much this year. Lorraine was a steady. I will miss her tending to her flower garden and miss the few tips she would always give me. Coming home will never be the same. My deepest sympathies go out to your family.
