Don and Family:
My deepest condolences to you all in your great loss. It is good to know, however, that Lorraine is no longer suffering the life of an Alzheimer victim and you are no longer visibly experiencing the sadness of it all. I lift up my prayers for you for sustenance in the loss of a loved one and for this occasion to be an opportunity for you to draw even nearer to God Almighty in this short life we live.
I must also add that while I knew of Lorraine's illness, I learned of her passing from Jackie and she also put me in touch with this Guest Book. Thank you.
My love,
Joe Schweigart and Family

Dear Dear Lorraine, you will be missed. You were the best. Great Daughter, Granddaughter, Wife, Mother, Sister, Cousin. May you now rest in Peace, and receive your rewards in heaven. Thank you for your Trustworthy influence on so many of us. We shared so many wonderful moments together in Belmar. Trips together to PA to visit our great grandparents, Rumble Seat rides with Mom Mom to Asbury Park Boardwalk and almost daily walks to Sideroff's and the Pony Track. Our Birthday & engagement parties, our weddings, Florida, Wonderful parties at Mom Mom's and Pop Pop's with kin from PA and Trenton and cousins galore. I give thanks for your life and ask for Blessings for your family. They all know you were their Blessing. You did the best job any wife and mother could do. You brought honor to your children. We were more then 1st cousins, we were like sisters. I love you and will see you in Glory. With Our Shared Love in Christ, Jackie Goslin Davin

My deepest condolences to the White Brand family and friends. My prayers are with you at this time and may you be comforted. In the obituary Mr Brand is quoted by saying- 'the family would never have been able to accomplish all they have in their lives without Lorraine.' That reminds me of a scripture in Proverbs chapter 31:10, 11 "A capable wife who can find? Her value is far more than corals. In her the heart her husband puts trust and lacks nothing of value." Its amazing how life offers its beautiful moments that fill us with happy memories and thoughts...and while life may also offer us the bitter moments that hurt; may those beautiful moments coupled with Gods strength get you through.

May you be at peace. I will always treasure the memories of growning up on 9th Avenue & playing at the Brand home. You were a kind, caring soul and a role model for all. Many lives are richer for having known you. May God bless.
