Lorraine was a wonderful neighbor and friend, going back to grammer school. We, at Birchwood, will miss her dearly. She was a very humorous person. We will miss her laughter on our weekly craft class.

I miss Lorraine and her cheerfulness and her courage in spite of the obstacles. I wish she could have quit smoking permanently. Having been a smoker I know how difficult that is. Her family meant everything to her. Tom, you were her knight in shining armor and the rock upon which she leaned. No matter what, she knew you would be there for her.
Jesse, you were the replacement for a daughter she never had. She always looked forward to seeing you and appreciated all the little things you did for her. It’s always the little things that count.
My sympathies go out to everyone whose lives she touched. She was thoughtful, humorous and fun to know and work with. She is much missed.

Lorraine stood up for my sister when she married along with my uncle Dick Briere….If not for her I would have left Anchor Glass shortly after starting there!!!!! She was a good gal. RIP Lorraine.
