I was so sorry to hear of Lorraine's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with all of her family. Lorraine was a beautiful lady inside and out and I counted it a privilege to have known and worked with her. Since our retirement we enjoyed lunches and many coffee dates at Cherryhill Mall with two of our other former work colleagues. It won't be the same anymore but we'll remember the great conversations and laughs shared. May you all be comforted by the many happy memories created over the years. Sincerely, Sandra Lunney

We first met Lorraine when she lived on the Bruce at her much loved lakeside home - Wabeck. Many happy hours were spent visiting each other and sharing the beautiful surroundings. She was sorely missed when for health reasons she was forced to leave Lake Huron and we know she left her heart there. At Easter she sent a card and we talked on the phone about many things including her joy in the new Great Grandson. We will miss our chats and are saddened along with you by her passing. The strength of her character was evident in the many adversities that she survived over the years. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Joan and Bob
