My heart is so very heavy as I just learned the very sad news of Lorrene´s passing. Lorrene was the most compassionate, loving, caring and kind person I have ever had the pleasure of knowing.
She would always think of others first and ask how "you" were doing. I know many times she was in pain but never complained or let it take away from the times spent together.
Her family was always in her heart and on her mind and the most important part of her life. My sincerest condolences to Betty, Moses, Cindy and her extended family and friends.
Heaven just welcomed an angel with the most beautiful smile and contagious laugh. She will always be in my heart and I will forever treasure the friendship and the times we spent together. I will miss Lorrene so very, very much. Rest easy my friend until we meet again.
