Please know that I am with all of you in prayer and thought. I feel very fortunate I was able to meet Lorraine if only briefly. I am sorry I cannot be there to celebrate her life and mourn her passing with you.

To my wonderful God mother. I well miss you, but I know God has taken you to be with him and Donald. Thank you for your love and prayers over the years. I'm sure your prayers helped in keeping me grounded in the church. I remember a time I talked to you on the phone, now this must be some time ago, and you told be how you had always prayed for me. That touched me and challenged me to pray for those that I am also God parent too. Your faith in God has always been seen in you love for me. I imagine you now in heaven walking running and dancing! I'm sure there is quite a room up there for you and your crown must be full of jewels, as God rewards his faithful servent and his prayer warrior. Thanks so much again for being my God Mother you are truely a speicial woman. I love you! I well miss you!
