Not sure what to say?

After all the years that have gone by, scarcely a day goes by that she doesn't enter my thoughts.

Our time was short together, but I often think about you rest in peace.

Where do I begin?
Maybe back when we were little kids..laughing,playing in North Minneapolis..maybe saying how much fun we had together as pre-teens and teens..maybe just saying how much I wish I would of spent more time with one of my best friends growing up. I have known Lorraine practically my entire life. Our mom's Ellen and Kathy were and continue to be best friends. We spent many a Tupperware,Home interior, baby shower..parites..well..just plain parties when it came down to...

Lorraine,
I did not know that such a website for you ever existed, until one of my other best friends Sue Hanson died about 4 months ago. I know you met her, you borrowed her tube when we went up to Menhaga. I miss you sooo much and I was coming back from Mexico and I was going to give you your present and Sue and Ron told me the news and I still can't believe it!!!
You left without saying goodbye and I feel sooo empty and lost, I have a hard time accepting it and I will forever!!...

Auntie I will miss you so very much
I Love You

Lorraine and I go way back but unfortunately our life paths had taken us down different roads so I had not spoken to her in many years. I just learned of this tradgedy yesterday. Im sorry for the loss to her children and family. The world truly lost one of its beautiful people.

Lorraine was a lot of fun to be around. She always made you laugh. We had a get together this year at our place and it poured rain down on everybody. Lorraine was out there with her rain poncho on pretending to be a weatherman. "This is Lorraine reporting live from the heart of the hurricane season here in Menahga." She made even a rainy party fun. She would have been proud of how the kids have handled everything that has happened. I know that I am. Josh and Jada, dont ever forget how much...

A million times we will miss you,
A million times we will cry.
If love alone could of saved you, you would of never died.
In life we loved you dearly,
in death we love you still.
In our hearts we hold a place no other one could fill.
The Golden Gates stood open,
God saw you needed rest,
Gods garden must be beautiful,he always picks the best.
