I am so sorry for the families loss! Lorraine was such a good person inside and out. She loved her family so much. I’ve had the pleasure of spending much of my child hood and early twenties hanging with Her niece Lauren and often Lorraine would come out with us! She was such a rock star! Later I became her hairdresser for a few years! Always stayed up with the latest trends! She rocked the purple and blue hair like no other! I love you Lorraine! You will be missed ❤️

Frank, Victoria and the entire Faverio family, I am so sorry to hear about the loss of Lynn. All of my memories of Lynn are from the Pot-Nets beach house. Sitting on the porch or on the beach with family. Lynn always had such a genuine smile and a care free spirit. Wishing you strength and peace during this hard time.
