Prayers for all of Lorraine’s family and friends. Lorraine was so friendly and fun to be around. I know she will be missed by all of her loved ones.
Mike, it breaks my heart for you but also for everyone who’s lives she touched. She knew everything about me and I knew everything about her. She was one of the first people I met in 7th grade after coming to Reynolds. She was my roommate during UNCA, my daughter’s godmother, my confidant and one of my dearest friends. I loved her and will miss her. She has left a void in my heart that will never be filled.
Family never leaves us.They will always be in our hearts.

Prayers for Mike and family . Lorraine we never met but I always heard good about you . You are a beautiful angel . You will be missed by us all .
This has been such a stunning blow to me. Lorraine and I have talked every day, sometimes several times a day. It has been quite a while since we have been able to visit one another, but we did feel as though we were together when we talked. Mike, I know how much you loved each other and I want you to know how deeply sorry I am. She will remain in all our hearts. I am at a loss as to what to say as I still feel numb as I am sure you do as well. I am a phone call away for whatever help I can be at this time.
I am sorry to hear about Lorraine. I worked with Iris for years at Saint-Gobain and she spoke often of Lorraine. Keeping your family in prayers.
Lorraine was a beautiful childhood friend. Praying for the family and all her friends! 🙏 ❤️
Lorraine you are loved and missed so much. Praying for Mike and family and holding you all in my heart. John and Terry

It’s taking me a while to leave a message, I know you wouldn’t mind. It had been a long time since we had actually spoken…..I am sorry I didn’t stay in better touch, but I thought about you often! I know you are at peace and I just wanted to say thank you for your friendship!! Thank you for introducing me to the love of my life! You had a gift with people and touched so many lives! You are a beautiful angel inside and out. Say hey to everyone and we will meet again my friend! Mike please let me know if there is anything Mike and I can do.
