I am in total shock, My name is Dianne Bock the other RN from the Gym. As Lorraine and I talked we had so much in common. I am from western Pa and we went to the same type of RN program.My grandson is at Penn State. We shared common views on many things.I missed the obituary notice. She did E-mail me and told me about her diagnosis. I had missed her at the gym- things certainly went fast. I will miss her!!  My condolences to her entire family.Rest in peace Lorraine. Dianne

To the family of Lorraine,
I was shocked and saddened by Lorraine’s passing.  Lorraine and I were friends in school and grew up together.  We caught up with each other about 20 years ago and we have emailed each other every day since then.  We discussed everything. One would think that there would be nothing else to talk about.  But we always found something.  We solved all of the world’s problems every day.
Lorraine was so devoted to her family.  I feel like I know all of you through what she wrote and the pictures that she would send.
My life was made better through knowing Lorraine.  She will be dearly missed.  Her friendship meant a lot to me.  Rest in peace, my dear friend.

To the family and friends of Lorraine:
Lorraine was my dear neighbor and friend when we lived in the Blackridge neighborhood of Pittsburgh, Pa. in the early 1980s.  My young daughter, Melissa, and her daughter, Karen, became fast friends. It was through our children that a friendship was forged. Although our family only remained in the Pittsburgh area for a few years, Lorraine and I exchanged Christmas cards and news of family for the next 45 years. I recently had the privilege of attending a mini-reunion between Karen and Melissa on Hilton Head Island. We shared memories, laughs and fond remembrances of Lorraine, especially the delicious recipe for her beef stew, which I make to this day! I will forever regret that I did not have the chance to tell Lorraine how much I enjoyed visiting with Karen and to congratulate her on what an amazing and genuinely fine woman she raised. Lorraine so loved her family and her influences will live on in them for many generations to come. With love and sympathy for your immeasurable loss, Susan Ade and family
