Louis,
I have spent many, many Moons with Miss Lo! That time that was spent with her was spent listening to a teacher, laughing with a comedienne, dancing with an artist, singing with a soprano, and enjoying Kari's pool with a true fishie! Lorraine will always be one of the most true, loyal, trustworthy friends that the Gill/Grabow/Aguilar/Torres family could ever be so fortunate to have known! Thank you for sharing her with us!!! She will ALWAYS be sorely missed and adored!

Louie, you and Lorraine were everything to each other. She expressed it to be more than 1000 times Her love for your son Joe was indisputable, the son she didn't have. Her love for your son Joe was undeniable she always spoke about him with such pride and love. To her gumba in Vegas, she thought the world of this man who she spoke so highly of and had a daughters love for. I'm so sorry for this loss of all of yours No words can be said to explain,It is with a heavy crying heart that I post this. When I heard that you were gone, I swear I felt my heart would never be whole again. You were my friend, my confidant, my drinking buddy, my partner in crime, the one I danced with, sang with too loud and too long, we went through boyfriends, husbands, dog deaths, silly sleepovers, where we couldn't speak, made excuses for each other and we always had each others backs. There were words left unspoken but deep down in my heart, I know that you and I were sisters from another mother. We are kindred spirits and nothing ever could change that I love you my sweet Lorraine, I'm sure your mom and dad are thrilled to have you with them again. Please give me signs once you've had time up there to adjust your sails, I know you're going to soar to greater heights. Sending hugs to heaven. I love you to the moon!

Something Beautiful Remains
The tide recedes but leaves behind
bright seashells on the sand.
The sun goes down, but gentle
warmth still lingers on the land.
The music stops, and yet it echoes
on in sweet refrains..
For every joy that passes,
something beautiful remains.

Louie, our most sincere condolences for the loss of Lorraine. She is always in our prayers. She was a beautiful intelligent woman; my most adored godchild. Lorraine was a fighter and never complained. Always knew where you and her came from - old Taylor Street. Lorraine was like a daughter to me and you both have always held a special place in our hearts. We remained close all these years. She is an angel and will always be shining her light down on you.

Dear Cousin Louie, I've been praying and asking God to bless you with His comfort and peace. I believe with all my heart that He will - because He loves you very much. Just like I do. Hope You Know How Much I Care. Our little Lorraine was taken way too soon. It's just unbelievable that we have lost her. I have many loving memories of when we were little and I will cherish them always.
