Well Lorena, it's been 1 year without you, I still cannot believe that you are not here. There are times that I wish I could call you and share some wild and crazy story with you, I know I can't, but I hope my thoughts can reach you where ever you may be, chick. Boy, have I got some scoop for you, but maybe you are watching, and beat me to the punch. This will be the last time I write to you, because after a year, it goes away, but don't worry,Chick, I'll be sending some messages out to you. Still missing you, Tia Weezie P.S. we all love you and miss you STILL. Like Lionel Richey says.

My sincere sympathy to Carmine, Joseph, Ron, Leticia & Roddy in the passing of my beloved 'Cuz'. Lorraine will always hold a special place in my heart, alot of memories throughout the years. As teenagers swimming at Mission Manor Pool and the family trips to Rocky Point and dancing away with the rest of the cousins at the Del Rio or at one of our house parties. Lorraine, your sense of humor always kept me going. As adults our kids have kept the connection, a beautiful thing amongst Family.
Prima, I will miss your craziness. I know you are in a much better place, one without pain.
God Bless You. Love your Cuz, Cecilia

I was very sad to hear of your passing. You were always such a good person to work with and to have fun with. I hadn't seen you in a while, wish we could have kept in touch. Will miss your beautiful smile.

"NO FAREWELL WORDS WERE SPOKEN, NO TIME TO SAY GOODBYE, YOU WERE GONE BEFORE WE KNEW IT AND ONLY GOD KNOWS WHY" My deepest sympathy to all the family, my prayers are with you and with Lorraine. Lorraine left us with such wonderful memories, she had such great humor, generosity and kindness to all of us. I can only imagine the reunion going on in heaven with her Mom, Dad, Sisters, Brothers, Tios, Tias and all the others that have already gone. ( I'm sure she is wearing her Glad Rags) as she used to say. I will miss her so much, but I find comfort knowing that she is in the arms of Jesus and free of all pain. I will never forget her and all the good times that we shared.

However, I will miss your smile and most of all your jokes.You always knew how bring the laughter back into everyone's heart. You will always be missed. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. God Bless you. Love You Lorraine.

Lorraine, I'm sorry I never had the chance to say goodbye. I will miss you so much, and never forget all the good times, and laughs we had at my moms house. The sound of your voice saying "Hay Cuz" what's up?...All those funny things you use to say, and when ever I hear a song from the Isley Brothers It will remind me of you. I will always have great memories of you forever in my heart. love you cuz. Sandy Yanez-Frye

I am so sorry. I, too, was thinking about you a few weeks ago and asked if anyone had heard from you. You were my rock when we worked at Justice Court and it is too hard to think I'll never see you again on earth. Rest in peace dear friend.

Lorraine,
I was just thinking about you last week, and I asked my sister Norma if she had heard from you...who would have thought that this is the last time I get to say hello and good-bye to you. You were always so good to us, and crazy along with us! :) We loved you so much, I want you to know! En paz descanses.
