My heart felt sympathy to Ray and family. Have very fond memories of Lorraine in home rooms at CHS.
Heaven is receiving a very special person.

My prayers and hugs to Ray and the rest of Lorraine’s family. She was a wonderful neighbor for many years when I lived in Bear and someone I considered a friend. She was such an amazing lover of animals. Now she is resting in heaven with Donner and all of her other past pets. She was a blessing to this earth.

You will be forever missed and loved Aunt Lorraine. Words can’t express the pain the emptiness feels like. The family will never be the same!

My sweet friend, I’m simply going to miss you. We spent many years side by side “no two on a towel” will always make me smile and so will every memory I have of you. Thank you for teaching me so much all those years ago when you took a chance on that goofy young girl who needed a job. I’ll always remember your ornery smile and laugh. Love you always. Dear Ray, I can’t imagine how your holding up because I know that’s your girl. The love you two shared was inspiring to us all. I’m praying for you daily. I can’t be there tonight but wanted to make sure you knew that your in my thoughts and prayers. Love to you Mr. Hollywood… as she would always refer to you with me.
