To Samuel and Family, it was very sad to hear of Lorraine's passing. The happy memories of our growing up in the projects came rushing back. I pray that you too can use those memories to help you during those times when you miss her. May God bless and keep all of my childhood next door neighbors.

To the Family,
When Lorraine passed, a part of my heart left. She was a true friend and closer to me than any sister could have been for more than 60 years. Our telephone calls, visitations, card playing, and socializing will never be the same. Please know that words can never express the depth of my feelings of loss for her and your family. Comfort comes in knowing that she is truly at peace and resting with God in His mercies. Our circle will be complete again some day . . .

To the Family,

I was so shocked to see Larraine's picture in the paper. Her smile is as beautiful, and radiant as it was all of her life. Memories of all of us growing up together in Francis Brown A.M.E. Church will always be cherished.
Rest Larraine, in the arms of Jesus.
