Joe, you experienced one of the best seasons in your life being Married to Lorraine. I will never forget the beautiful smile and laugh she had that lite up a room. It blesses me to see you fellowship with your family in Christ which is the best medicine for renewal in your walk with Jesus. Love you brother

My Cousin Lorraine will always be remembered by her smile, her love and kindness for family and friends. Miss you Cousin

Dear Lorraine,
I can't believe you are gone.  This isn't goodbye but until we meet again.  You were so kind and often smiled.  Even when work & I were unbearable.  Although, we didn't stay in touch I remember your positivity,  warm heart, can do attitude and prayer.  You will be missed!  I will be keeping you, Joe and your family in my thoughts and prayers.  May they be comforted by all the wonderful memories and the love you all shared. God be with you all giving you strength to ease the pain.  And we will rejoice when we see you again in heaven!  My prayers are with you, Joe and your family! 
🙏💗 Miriam

To my neighbor Lorraine, 
Always  full of life and happy! Such a great Daughter,Sister, wife, Nina, Aunt and friend. So glad we had the pleasure to work together and know one another. Thank you for being there in my time of need! You will always be greatly remembered and forever in my heart! ❤️ 
Love Ra.

The more we remembered Lorraine;  the love she gave so freely and how much she represented who the Lord was in her life, I realized what a grand gift her life was for us. Her mother, Tillie, was my mother's cousin. When Tillie graduated to heaven, Lorraine made sure to visit Mom, making her feel happy and comforted along with her husband Joe and her brother, John. We have a lot to  do until we see Lorraine again.  Comfort and Joy.

Thank you Sonia for sending me Lorraine's obituary. I have so many times looked and wanted to write and share a beautiful msg. About Lorraine I met Lorraine in jr. High we made our confirmation together took pictures in my front yard at moms house we spent so many times on your and Lorraine bedroom on the floor talking eating sun flower seeds tanning outside because we wanted to have that beautiful golden bronze California tan and all we could do is get burned and laugh in pain . Going to Vegas on the bus when we were young.  Your mom and Lorraine holding my hand at my moms house while I was in labor 27 hours your mom was tired I marked Lorraine with my nails from labor pain and I did

Lorraine will be so deeply missed by all who knew her.   She was one of those people that always made you feel loved and important.   I was always greeted with open arms and a hug.     Her warm smile was so infectious.  You couldn't help but smile when talking to her. To her husband Joe, sister Sonia, niece Selena and the rest of the family, please accept my sincere condolences for your loss.   Lorraine will be greatly missed by everyone but hold onto all the great memories of her.  She is now happy in heaven with Grammy and my Auntie Paula.      I love you and will miss you greatly Nina!

My one of my many memories of my cousin Lorraine is that we were blessed to have family and to be able to take care of our moms when her mom Tilly passed she let me know that she would sit with my mom during  church service my mom and her mom were cousins that grew up together and here they were in church together. One of my thoughts was who's going to sit with my mom during church as I work my ministry and Mom reminded me John and Joe always took good care of her and Tilly when they were coming in or coming out of church and our blessing was family love and care

My Beautiful Sister in Christ ❤️. You’ll be missed. I cherish every moment we had fellowship together. We love you my Friend. 
Our thoughts and prayers to the family. 

My Cousin Lorraine
You are greatly
Loved and missed.
Your life was full of love for your family and friends. You shine like a star. You helped and listen to me. When you had your own problems but always said we will work it out together. 
Thank you Cousin and Friend. 
 Love Petra 🙏🏼💋😢

Sister Lorraine will definitely be missed, she was such a beautiful person inside and out!  She always greeted Brothers and Sisters as they entered our church for service, she looked beautiful and was always ready to serve our Lord!  Whenever I would ask her if she could greet she always joyfully agreed and enjoyed it....what a privilege to have known such a beautiful woman with a servants heart!  Praying for her dear family whom I know she loved very much and who I know will miss her greatly!

Friend it was such a pleasure knowing you. I’m grateful for the times & talks we had. Your patience, love, caring & cooking didn’t go unnoticed, you were greatly appreciated. You will be greatly missed. Until we all meet in Paradise. May you rest with all our precious Lovely Angles... 
Your Friend 
Mona👼🏽💜🙏🏽

Dear Sonia,  Eddie,  Eunice and  family:
Praying for you and asking the Lord to comfort each one of you.  May your memories of the time you spent with your beloved Nina bring a smile to your face and warm your hearts.  Take comfort in knowing that she is resting in our heavenly Father's arms.
Please accept my deepest sympathy. 

It’s been so hard for me to write this. Nina is what I’ve always called Lorraine because that is what Selena always called her and it just stuck with me and she let me. I have very fond Memories because even though I’m not family I always felt like it. The love and acceptance I have always felt from Nina was always there. She was kind and loving and beautiful and we always laughed together. Nina and my Mom and Tillie always talked together as if they’d known each other forever... and when my Mom died in  the fall before Grammy both of them came all the way down to OC to be here for me.  Now the 3 of them are together with Jesus and I know they are up there enjoying paradise together.  To Joe and John, Sonia ,Richard, Eddie and Eunice and Vanessa . Art, and Holly, Adri Arthur, Cameron please accept my deepest condolences and thank you for always sharing your family with me. Selena  my dearest and Best friend and Cary and my sweet God daughter Laila Marie  may God comfort you all and may you always remember the blessings of Nina’s beautiful heart and treasure the gift she was and always will be. I hope we will all be as loving and as wonderful as Nina was.❤️

Merry Christmas Nina, 
Thank you for all the memories I have with you on all my special occasions I love you and I know God took you  because he needed you more then us. This is not good bye but I’ll see you later
Love always your Goddaughter Vivika

Cousin Lorraine, 

Such a light and loving presence to be around. Always smiling, laughing, and so joyful. You'll always be remembered for such grace,  love, and care. I will cherish the fun moments we've had together with the family. It's definitely too soon to shed your physical shell, however,  I know it's time for you to go back home and experience pure bliss. Shine bright like a diamond my dear cousin.  With love and care <3

Nina, I love you. You’re going to be missed. 
Love, 
Cary
