My sincere condolences to the Darke family. I was so saddened to learn of Loraine's passing. She was such a beautiful woman inside and out. Loraine and Terry spent many fun times together with John and I plus we spent 3 weeks in Hawaii together.
I will always look at beautiful flowers and remember how artistic they were. May the wonderful memories and the love of friends and family surround you during this very sad time.

To you, the children and grandchildren of Lorraine and Terry:
My sincerest condolences. I am at a loss to say other than I had great affection for Lorraine, and of course Terry. I cherish the memories.

We were saddened to learn of your Mom's passing. A true lady in every sense of the word.
We remember the many happy occasions we had with both she and your dad. They both knew how to beautify every aspect of their lives and especially in the creativity of gardening and doing flower beds, which your Mom was so good at. We were able to catch up on the news of what was closest to her heart- her family, when we met once or twice a year.
To all of you, please know that we are thinking about your great loss, and we know that the good memories will eventually be paramount.
We truly share the loss of Lorraine

Your mother waas a wonderful, fun loving person. She was so caring with my mother Doris Yerxa. Without her help my mother would not have been able to stay in Edmonton as long as she did. When I visited we alway had a great time. Your mom was such a joy.

Deepest Sympathy to all the Darke Family,
What very sad, sad news to hear that Lorraine is no longer with us. What a great light she brought to everyone she met! Lorraine was always an inspiration to her friends and family and I am so proud to have been her friend. She loved her family passionately and was always there in times of need for them and her friends. A gentle loving person who had so many talents but was never boastful. She will be greatly missed.
I am sure God has a special place for her in heaven.

Love,
Margaret and Burt Eldridge

The Devonian Botanic Garden Crafters will dearly miss Lorraine, who has been a vital and valued member of our organization over many years and a wonderful friend to all of us.

On behalf of all the Crafters who volunteered at the DBG with Lorraine we would like to extend our sincerest condolences to her family. A rose will be planted in her memory by the Crafters at the DBG in the Rose Garden that she loved.
