I too have know Lorraine for more than 20 years. She and I worked closely in animal rescue. She never refused a request to help me with any animal who needed help in finding a home. Everyone should have the kind of heart Lorraine did when it came to helping helpless animals. She was one of a kind. I think of her often. She will be missed by all animal lovers. May you rest in peace Lorraine. You were a very special lady.

I have known Lorraine for more than 20 years. We were fellow rescuers. She was one of the most gentle and loving women I have ever known. She was always willing to help an animal in need. The local humane societies owe her a great debt for her willingness to provide foster care for animals awaiting forever homes. I am truly blessed to have known her. She is now at the Rainbow Bridge where her beloved pets have waited for her. Rest in peace, my friend. You will live forever in my heart and memories.

Wendy and Chuck Bowles, I am so sorry to hear about your mother, mother-in-law. I happened to look here for my mom's cousin who just passed away and ran into your mom's obit. I only have wonderful memories of her, your father, and great memories of our friendship a long time ago. Please send our love to Dianne and the rest of your family. Love, Carol (Bridge) Ligh and Bruce
