It’s been a very Sad time for Lorraines Family, George Cameron Steven, Sheena, Kent along with all her family and Friends and those of us who are extended Family and Relatives. One often wonders why the creator takes such a Sweet kind lady that always smiled.

My Heart has been broken second time in weeks loosing two people I held so dear! Gosh to say Lorraine will be missed, is a huge, huge understatement! I can only offer my Heartfelt Sympathy, and love as you face the days ahead . May You RIP Sis Lorraine. I will remember You Always. And treasure our special memories we made together🥲😢. Go fly high with the Eagles 🦅 🦅💕❤️💕 Love you foster sister Sharon Durocher
My heartfelt condolences going out to my foster sister. Sorry this had to happen to such a beautiful person no one deserves to suffer the way you did. Due to my health have lower immune system and COVID restrictions Im unable to attend but my thoughts are with you all. One day I will go visit your resting spot and talk with you. So hard to loose two people I loved weeks apart. But the creator had a plan for you. Till we meet again sis
My sympathy to all those who loved Lorraine and who were loved by her. Her heart was strong and golden, and I was lucky to have her as a best friend for two years in Rosthern High School, and unlucky to lose touch with her when life picked us up and shook us in its teeth. I’m so glad to have found her again, even though it was just before her diagnosis. Her spirit had only become more beautiful. Rest in peace.
