I will always remember the many phone conversations that we had during the last 2 1/2 years. Discussing the hope of cancer treatments, family memories, current events, our time in prayer and thanking God for bringing You and Frank together in His perfect timing. Your strength in mindset always displayed the utmost effort in an upbeat and positive outlook. Putting others (concerns) ahead of your own has been a great example. Your occassional comment: "You bring joy to my life", touched me then, and always will, as that is one of the nicest things that one person can tell another. I will continue to remember you on a daily basis. Love and prayers to the remaining family.

Lorraine,
Whenever I got homesick and missed family functions all I had to do was remember the great times I had seeing you with my Mom and sister, aunts and cousins. I could still hear that unforgettable laughter. Even though we were thirteen years apart you made me feel special. I was blessed to spend time with you before you began you next journey. Frank, Anthony, Damien and Gabriel. May God bless you and comfort you.

Lorraine..for me you filled every moment with laughter, happiness and great "Payroll" support!
You touched everyone with your infectious laugh and contagious smile. The thought of you always makes me crack up, thank you for the great memories.

Frank, when Lorraine talked about you, I could feel her smile over the telephone. I always had the impression that you really "moved" her. May the comfort and support of those around you, along with the memories you hold in your heart, give you peace during this time.

To the Vargo family ~
My prayers are with you as you go through this hour of bereavement. I remembered Lorraine when she worked in Payroll on the 15th floor. Later, Lorraine assumed my position in Labor Relations several years ago when she came back to Los Angeles from San Diego and, of course, I moved on. May the Lord strengthen you each day and keep you in His loving arms always.

Dear Frank, Anthony, Damien and Gabriel,
Lorraine was a very special person who had a positive impact on everyone she met. Your Mom was very proud of her Son's and always spoke highly on how they were doing. When Frank came into her life Lorraine was very happy.
I will never forget her smile and laugh,in viewing the picture of her with NYC in the back round and just to see this photo made me smile.
Just a year ago I ran into Frank and Lorraine in Baja California, at Puerto Nuevo II, ready to have lobster. Seeing her and Frank was GREAT and one I will never forget. We had some good laughs in our short visit, I believe it was fate for me to see her again.
I truly believe we all have an Angel looking over us in Lorraine, and one day we can all laugh together again. I am proud to call her my friend.
Keep the faith and take care of each other, that is the way Lorraine would have wanted it.
My Deepest Condolences to The Family,

Jami Trotter

No words can explain the void that we'll have without you. But I know you're our Angel watching over us now. You know I'm going to be lost without the laughter of my "Sunshine". We were all so BLESSED to have had share a part of you in our lives.

Frank,
You & the family meant so much to Lorraine. Know she loved you dearly. Now she's pain free enjoying her wings sitting next to the King.

I love you, Raine

As a “Christ-centered woman of excellence”, Lorraine recognized that her soul and time was the eternal gift from God. Her legacy is someone to be proud of, someone to be thankful for and a promise that someone kept! She bore fruit from the eternal breath of God impacting my life that the source of our stability is pray. God placed eternity in her heart, which strengthened her in time of sickness, because He knew that one day she would answer to eternity. She remembered in comfort, our worst moments are God’s best opportunities to shape us into His own image. In honor and in memory of Lorraine, please take good care of your soul and don’t be careless with your time, because the time is short, the door is closing, these bodies just can’t take much, and we cannot tolerate any more foolishness unless we are going to be “fools for Christ”!
