I'll bet she is sitting on Jesus'lap in total awe while looking at Him and she's wearing her red and white polka dot shorts and her beautiful red blouse and has her red lipstick that she is so fond of. God bless the grieving family. She touched many of hearts in her lifetime with her big beautiful smile and her playful eyes. Rest in peace Lorena and we will all see you again when we go to our Father's house.
