I met Lorraine when I was a young women. She amazed me, how she could do it all: Wife, Mother, Grandmother, hardworker and so much more. I enjoyed going to bingo with her and sitting with her a Visitation church. She loved her family so much. Blessings to all her family who will miss her so much.

I consider it an honor and pleasure to have known Lorraine. I still see that beautiful head of silver hair and those steel blue eyes that lit up her face. .Courteous to all and a hard worker but now she has earned her rest and know she will be greatly missed. My condolences to the entire Manning Family. Sincerely, Glenda Thayer
