Lorraine was a friend and a mentor. Our relationship grew in many directions. We became a part of each other's family. Lorraine and I spent fun times shopping for nice clothes and trying new cafes and restaurants. On the serious side, we had many political debates. Graciously we accepted our wins, losses and ties. My family and I are truly blessed to have known Lorraine and be part of her life.

May the family find comfort in the special bonds and memories they had with Lorraine.

Mary Moore and family.

I got to know Lorraine in recent years when she and my mother Ann became very close friends. They both lived in the same retirement home. I along with my sisters shared many lunches, brunches and some dinners with Lorraine and my mom. It was always a lot of fun getting together with those two ladies.

Lorraine had a quick mind and was always up on current events. She also had a fantastic sense of humour and was a great storyteller. There was always a lot of laughter coming from our table in the dining room.

I know my mom misses her terribly and I will miss her.too. The Manor will not be the same without Lorraine. It was a privilege to have known her.

My sincere condolences to Lorraine’s family. May she Rest In Peace.

Lorraine Was always so friendly and appropriate in her conversations. She cared for her friends in special ways. She once brought me an orchid out of the blue-this is typical of her- and I’m still enjoying it. She did such elegant things, she had a way of showing her appreciation of her friends. This has been an example to me that has enriched my value of relationships.

I’ll miss seeing her around and her positive attitude about life and people.

Joan, Sid and I were so glad to reconnect with Lorraine when she moved back to Calgary. We spent many happy hours visiting, enjoying movies, lunches and reminiscing about earlier times. She was a link to our Mom, and will be very much missed. Lorraine and I shared similar taste in movies, books and tv shows and had fun discussing them. She was a stylish and classy lady and we will miss her.
