Lorraine will always hold a special place in the heart of all of the members of my family. She was a true friend to my grandmother and grandfather, making them feel very welcome in Sun City and remained a wonderful friend, after my grandparents moved away.
My thoughts and condolences are with all the family. Please know we will never forget Lorraine as she was truly a terrific woman.

My family and I are so sad to hear the news of Lorraine's passing. She was a sweet, gentle soul and a dear friend to my mother, Ann Florio. We feel blessed to have met such a beautiful woman as Lorraine. She was always so friendly and attentive to us when we visited Sun City Center. She was my mother's best friend and was a great source of comfort to my mom and all of as my mother was in her final stages of life. Lorraine will always have a special place in our hearts. We are grateful that she is reunited with my mom and I know she is looking out for all of us. May memories of Lorraine comfort you all.
Love, Cathy, Arthur, Dawn and A.J. Revellese

I was fortunate enough to get to know Lorraine through my parents who lived in Sun City Center. Lorraine was a warm and caring woman. She was a dear friend to my Mom who was ill for the past three years, and finally succumbed to her illness in February. Lorraine was of great support and it was comforting to know that my Mom had such a dear and caring person in her life during that difficult time. Lorraine was a classy and elegant lady who my husband, children and I will miss terribly. We will always remember her.
