I always was in awe of Lorraine's energy and her hard work as a board member for the Saints. It's hard to think of her life having ended because she was the kind of person who had energy and kept very busy all the time. I will miss her very much..

Lorraine was in charge of organizing meetings for The Saints for decades. I was always amazed at how many prople she knew, and how her quiet persuasion resulted in our having the best speakers for those meetings. Bless you Lorraine, you were the best!

I found out about Lorraine's passing from the Saints' Cyberline, but I first met her at Weight Watchers. She was warm and charming and I'm glad I knew her in both organizations -- double the joy.
