Wow you've been gone for 20 years, seems like it was only yesterday. I believe you (Mom, Dad etc) are looking down on us all and can see what wonderful adults Jimmy, Maggie and Katie have become. I know you are really proud of all their accomplishments. Miss you everyday and think of you all the time. Love and miss you sis.

It's been 10 years since you left us - hard to believe it's been that long. Miss you every day and still reach for the phone to call and tell you something as we understood each other so well. The girls are all grown up and beautiful but then you already know that as you are watching over them every day. Put in a good word for me up there - I really need it - Love You and Miss You Always

Lorraine

i think of you all the time. I miss you pulling up in the van to say hi and chat with me. I still remember the day you told me that you were going in for the marrow transplant. I prayed for you to get better. Jimmy is doing a great job with the kids.They are so grown up. We all miss you and your smiling face I know you're in heaven with your Mom and Dad.

Love Brenda and Family

It's been two years since you left - I still can't believe it - feels as if it was only yesterday that we spoke - you were in the hospital really feeling sick and it broke my heart that I couldn't do anything to make it better or easier for you - we still miss you like crazy - think of you every day - I will never get over losing you - I love and miss you -

One year ago today you left us - in some ways it's been the longest year of my life and in other ways I can't believe a year has gone by already -



Some people would think it's stupid to talk to you this way - but somehow it makes me feel better -



I haven't told the girls this is here - think I might tell Maggie soon - she may want to talk to you too



Well we went to Bermuda - I took Maggie with me - felt she needed the time away - to be the only child for a change - she had a blast - that child did not get back to the room before midnight once - but then you already know all this - 'cuz you are watching over the girls - I know you are -



I don't want to write my deepest thoughts & feelings here - besides you know how I feel - but remember after Dad died and we both said how we felt like orphans?????? -



There's no way for me to express how I feel now that your gone - lonesome, so very very lonesome - and all alone in the world - even though we still have lots of family here - just not the same without you



Miss you (every day) - still can't believe your gone -



That's enough of that for now -



Watch over us & put in a good word for those of us that are gonna need it (me for instance) -



I'll talk to you later



Love You



Linda

I just found this site and want to add my thoughts and feelings --- Lorraine I miss you and am so happy we had such a good frienship, one that was full of fun and great memories. I read this and thought that it was worth sharing -- Time cannot steal the treasures that we carry in our hearts/ Nor ever dim the shining thoughts our cherished past imparts/ And memories of the ones we've loved still cast their gentle glow/ To grace our days and light our paths wherever we may go. Lorraine, RIP. Love, Your Friend

To my friend Linda. Although I did not personally know Lorraine, I felt as I did. I have known and worked with you for over 20 years. I was there with you when your Mom passed away and I remember how hard and sad it was for you. I can only imagine the pain you are now feeling with the passing of your Sister. Lorraine is being taken good care of by Peg now. My prayer are with you and your family. Your friend, Joanne

Writing this is the hardest thing I ever had to do - Lorraine was not only my Sister but my best friend. She was a Great Wife, Loving Mother, Fantastic Sister and a Wonderful Friend. She was always the life of any party. She knew how to have a good time - how to make people laugh - how to press your buttons when she really wanted to. As we grew up (Lorraine, Eddie & I) our Mother always said "I hope you have a child just like you" - and Lorraine was constanly asking "why did I get all 3 of us??" - Well now she is with our parents & grandparents and she can talk to our Mother about how she got all 3 of us and our Mother will tell Lorraine how much she has enjoyed watching Lorraine and her kids but most especially how much she enjoys seeing Katie in action. My family & I will think of Lorraine often and miss her every minute of every day for the rest of our lives. Lorraine has left a little of herself here with us in each of her children - that will help to make our tragic loss a little easier to bear - We Love you Lorraine and will miss you always -

LOVE LINDA
