Lorraine M. Periord

Lorraine, in memory of you I write this tribute . Sorry Sis, I waited too long to give you a hug in person or call you in your lasts days on this planet. NO excuses. However you were in my thoughts and prayers daily as you are now.I remember you always called me your little brother. I honor that title. Soon a special wind chime will be arriving at your home (not your new home in heaven, the one on earth.) This wind chime is tuned to the song "Amazing Grace", with the inscription THE PERIORD...

Lorraine was a wonderful nurse who was caring member of our old 4100 unit in the old StJoes building. She was highly respected by all of us.She was the epitome of grace-I always admired how she chose her words carefully. I never heard her speak ill of anyone. She was unfailingly kind. Lorraine is remembered by many of us.

Missing you before my eyes today as your life will forever be entwined with mine. A mothers love is unconditional and given without reservation. I see in your eyes the life you saw reflected back at me. I held your hand to comfort you but the comfort was to heal my heart and say goodbye for now. Your voice, your words, your touch are the things I will miss most. You gave me life and set me free to find my way in the world. My life was so blessed because of your love. Rest well dear mother...
