I remember signing karaoke with her and her bff Lisa. I remember her using her sign language skills at Cultivate Church. Her smile was infectious. Miss you buddy
Hey you angel, you are one of a kind. You taught me 3 years ago, I wished I would’ve hugged you, and squeezed you. I didn’t know that would be the last time I saw you. I miss you so much, and how you cared so much about your students. You were, and are a wonderful teacher. I will never forget you. I love you so much darling. You taught me so much, I wish you were still here. I still trying to understand how your not here. I was thinking about not to long ago. Your period was my favorite because you always had me cracking up. Come back, please!!!! ~ Sai’Heem Watkins
When i was in 5th grade 3 years ago, she was one of the nicest people I had ever met and she was such a kind and caring teacher.
Lorraine - Thank you for all the memories and laughter. We take comfort in knowing you are there with that precious baby of yours and playing your music with Nana. We will miss you but know you are watching over all of us. Sending love and keeping the family in our prayers.
Love
Shirlie, Warren Kyle and Matthew Sipple
Lorraine and I met when I moved across from her and Glenn. From day one, she became my friend and neighbor. We grew closer together when we saw we had so much in common: love of singing, art and teaching and love of children.
I am and will always be grateful for her kind heart, her love for me, as her friend and as we would say, "sisters from another mother, and sisters from another lifetime." Our love of God, Christ, music, and children made us closer together. I am still in shock of her untimely death, but I know she is in heaven with her little baby daughter, Celina whom she never got over her death just barely born, taken too soon as well with our Lord as an Angel in heaven. Lorraine is now in heaven with little Celina, but I will always miss our loss here on earth, for one of God’s soldiers here on earth is no longer with us. Now an Angel in heaven, I love you always, “mi hermana”. You will never be forgotten...Iraida Afanador and family
Ah, Glenn. Words cannot express how truly sorry I am for your loss. Lorraine was a delightful person, who always seemed to be interested in others, and who seemed to care deeply about those surrounding her. Her lovely alto / tenor voice will be sorely missesd by the Collingswood Chorus. My deepest and most sincere condolences to you.
To my beautiful sister-in-law. Your humor will surely be missed at family functions. Now you can hold Celina, your angelic baby girl, in your arms as long as you like. Knowing this, I hope Glenn finds peace of mind losing you so soon.
