I was so very sad to hear of Lorenes passing. From the time I was a child til last I spoke with her she was a happy, smiling and loving person. She was a very strong woman and loved her family so much. She is truly one of God's children. You are all in our prayers and we love you! Billy,Gail and the girls.

I am sadden at the death of Lorene and wanted to extend my deepest sympathy to her family, siblings and Mother Lucille. Growing up in the same church family and school with the Blake kids brings her death close to my heart. My thoughts go back to when the teachers tried to separate Lorene and Laura in the 5th. grade and how they cried hysterically at the thought of being separated. I even remember when she got married.

Lorene was a very lovely lady inside and out and also very special. When I first met her I knew God had His Hands on her. Now heaven is much brighter with her lovely smile.
