Dear Bruce, Emily, Adam and entire family,
Lorraine was a one-in-a-million friend, as you know. It has been over a year since her death, and I am sorry that I did not know about her passing sooner. During our years at Divine Providence Academy and again while Emily and Shannon attended St. Alphonsus grade school, Lorraine was exactly as described in her obituary. It is sad to hear that she suffered for so long at the end of her life - she did not deserve that. I was hoping that she passed while dancing just like her Mom, who was such a great lady. My heart and thoughts are with you. We are all better because she was in our lives. Much love, Marion (Creighan) Clark

I just learned of Lorraine's passing. I am so sorry. Sympathy and prayers to her family. She was a wonderful person. I really enjoyed working with her at JCPenney. We talked often. Lorraine was special. She is missed.
What a fitting obituary for a dear friend who was taken too soon.

So sorry to hear of Lorraine's passing. she and I were in same class at Divine Providence class of "73". Thru the years I would see Lorraine and I have to say the girl never changed. Lorraine had such a calming spirit about her. God got himself a great angel in Lorraine. May God help Lorraine's family find the comfort they need to give them peace.

Adam, to you and your family my sincere sympathy. Our faith asks us to believe that passing is exactly that...a passing from one kind of existence to another. You will miss her on this level, of course, but if you allow her to comfort you from where she is now, you will always have a mother.

We will all miss her genuine smile and happy disposition.
