I only knew her for a little while, but she was a grand lady. She is now in Gods hands, and will know no pain or suffering, as I know she did during her last years. Heaven will be the richer with her there.

Dear Janet & all of Lorene's family,
Your Mom was such a special person and a dear friend. My husband and I had some wonderful times with her and John when we lived in Newport News.
What a glad reunion day I look forward to.

We are very sorry about loosing her. We miss her very much, her bright smile and kind advice will be missed greatly. We always looked forward to sitting and talking, it didn't have to be about anything important, she just made us smile. She was loved greatly and will be missed in our hearts. Our prayers go out to those missing her right now. Hugs to Janet, her daughter and loving caregiver.

Dear Janet,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family .
For Lorene
The combat is ended
And valiant you lay
Resting from battles
You fought every day.
Each skirmish contested
Not once would you kneel
Though blows caused you often
To stagger and reel.
Your spirit inspired us
Each in his own way
To take up our burdens
And face each new day.
You fought all so bravely.
You gave it your best.
Old friend lay it down now.
It's time for some rest.
Though I know for a warrior
One should never cry,
It's oh so hard not to
"Dear Lorene Goodbye"
B. V. Dahlen
With my deepest sympathy.
Hugs,
Bea
