Greg and Violet I am so sorry for your loss. She was an amazing woman I remember times when Greg and I were growing up spending time hanging out at her house and at the school across the street. Always a wonderful host almost felt like one of the grandkids. She will be missed.

The staff in Cardiac Rehabilitation at Memorial Regional Medical Center are saddened by the passing of Lorraine. She was a lovely lady and another guest wrote, she did teach us how to age in grace and beauty. We will all cherish our memories of her and smile having been touched by an angel of our Lord Jesus. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family; remember her love lives on in everyone who knew this special lady.

Gloria, Rick, and Rich,
I am so sorry for the loss of your mother, mother-in-law, and grandmother. The few times I met her, I remember her as being a very sweet and gentle lady. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Gloria and Violet,
It's impossible to mention Fairmount Baptist Church without your mother's bright eyes, wide smile and distinctive voice coming to mind. I'm sure your dad was waiting to welcome her when she left us. Like my own parents, they saw to it that we had what mattered most in life: an upbringing based on love, respect and principle. All of us who knew and loved your mom are at a momentary loss, but we know that it's only temporary. Sandy and I send along our deepest condolences to you and your family.
