I've know Loraine since I was little and she was always , to me, kind and sweet. I grew up with her family in Grand Blanc . Her father was our Pastor. How I loved that family and I know Loraine has now taken her place in Heaven.

Loraine will be remembered by my family and myself with great fondness. She blessed us in many, many ways throughout the years. We grieve with her family at the loss of a genuine, marvelous, giving friend and servant of God.
