Albert and I are so sorry. She lived a long and wonderful life with her fabulous children. May she rest in peace and love.
Steve, Joe, Greg, Vincent and extended family, we were deeply saddened to hear of your loss and very sorry we were unable to extend condolences to you in person. I remember her radiant smile from many years ago and her sweet, gentle nature. She raised beautiful and kind gentlemen. She lived a full life and was able to meet great grand children…how beautiful! As you feel emptiness and sadness inside, try to remember your fond memories of days well spent together. Some may bring you tears and others will make you smile, but my hope is that they bring you comfort. Time for her to enjoy peace and eternal rest. Sincerest and heartfelt condolences.
What a wonderful, joyful, caring lady she was. She lived every moment to the fullest.
So many memories of happy family celebrations and get togethers. I imagine her now doing a dance with Uncle Larry and all that have gone before her.
Love to our cousins – we are thinking of you at this sad time.
Sincere condolences Steve and Ann on the loss of such a special woman in your lives. Take comfort in the many happy memories you will have of her.

Sincere condolences to the Carey family. Lorraine and Larry were good friends to my Dad, Danny McCormick. I looked forward to seeing your Mom at KOC events – especially the children’s Christmas party. She was a lovely lady and a pleasure to visit with. I am sure she will be well missed by the family she loved.

Dear Carey Family and Cousins: So very sad along with you in the loss of your irreplaceable and wonderful Mom. Aunt Lorraine is the life force from which sprang memorable showers, weddings, Christmas parties and crocheted baby gifts. She engaged in every major family event in any given year for her lifetime. Aunt Lorraine was in there pitching to make sure each of us had their moment. She cared so much for family; such a dear. When she smiled and called you ‘darlin’ she made you feel grand. My precious aunt. I’d know her face anywhere, unique and beautiful. Lorraine’s was the first phone number we three kids ever knew: call Cherry 4-6839 and someone good and kind was always within reach anytime if you needed help. Dad (Art) said so. He adored her. As a kid, standing in Aunt ‘Reenie’s” Haverhill Circle kitchen which smelled deliciously of baking and chocolate chip cookies, I saw that Dad’s eyes were filled with the love he had in his brotherly heart for his darling sister, and they hugged, whispered and giggled. I love that memory. We pray that all who love her find peace and comfort in her memory and solace in the protective and gentle embrace of Lorraine’s beautiful spirit.
Dear Deb and Joe
Our deepest sympathy.
Vivian and Chris Riehl

Lorraine was a kind and thoughtful friend. Alba and Lorraine have been friends since their school days at St. Anthony.

Sincerely,
