Ted and Chip,
I wanted to send my condolences to you both. I worked with Lorraine at Eastfield for several years. We had a lot of fun and laughs together. She would make my day each and every morning. My prayers are with you, because I know she is going to be missed, but Heaven truly has gained a special angel. God will give you the strength to go on, because that’s what Lorranine would have wanted.
Psalm 50: 15
May God Bless You,

Lorraine was one of my favorite friends and colleagues. I have many fond memories of her and the years we worked together. She taught me valuable lessons while I was a young teacher and mother. She cared for me and my family as if we were hers. I am saddened in her loss but rejoice in the faith that I will see her again some day. Lorraine, I love you. Gail
I have many fond memories of Lorraine and Eastfield School.
We also shared a fondness for cats.
Just wanted you to know you’re in our thoughts and prayers.
