Jessica,
We were so very sorry to hear about the loss of your grandmother. You and your family are in our hearts and prayers.
With Love,

I am so sorry for your loss. Lorene was a special person. She had gone through alot of pain and suffering in the past few years with her health, but she was a fighter but never let anyone know her pain. The Lord knew all of her pain and didn’t want her to go through any more. She is with Lee, her parents, and other family members that has went on before her. She has no more pain, she can enjoy being with her family. I know she will be missed by alot of people. it is very hard when your mother is gone but the Lord gives you peace.I remember some of the stories that my mom (Irene Smith) and Lorene told about when they grew up together and some of the trouble the got into back then.You all are in our prayers and thoughts.May God give you peace.

I know she is in a better place and I know you will miss her! Wish I could have come! Mama keeps in touch with all the kids that I used to run around with.
