It is with a heavy heart that I send my innermost sympathy for the passing of my cherished Aunt and Godmother. Jacqie and Valerie; I know your loss comes with so many layers of heartache. Although it's is incomprehensible to see beyond the sorrow, look back on all your memories and I know it will bring contentment for tomorrow. To the Family, for eternity remember her as an added angel beside you all. Aunt Lori your glorious laughter is a keepsake I will forever hold in my heart. Diane Elizabeth Wills
Dear Valerie, Jacqie, Bill and Families, I was saddened to read of your Mom's passing. Lorraine was full of life, joy, and just a little fun mischief. I will remember her with great fondness. I can still remember (and almost taste) her spaghetti sauce. Keep all of the warm and loving memories close to your hearts, and she will never be far away. You are kept in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Jacqie and Valerie. It was with great shock that i received the news on the passing of my dearly loved Aunt Lori. May your mother rest in peace and her memory be kept in your hearts to sustain you in days to come. I express my deepest sympathies and prayers to the family. Ralph.
Jacqie, Valerie and Family: It will be the little things that you will remember, the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter. And although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again. Rest in Peace Aunt Lori
Jacqie, Valerie and Family: My first ever trip to St John's airport was when I was only about 4 or 5 yrs old to go meet Aunt Lori coming home from the Mainland for a Holiday! (Long before it was a common occurrence to fly anywhere) I remember seeing her stepping off the plane on a bright sunny day onto the open mobile stairwell with a great big hat, a terrific smile and a big wave. Just like a movie star I thought! That is how I have always remembered my Aunt Lori, and always will. Thinking of you all, God Bless Herbie
Valerie , Jacqie and family, I am so sad to hear of Aunt Lori's passing. I am sure her unique spirit and infectious laugh will be deeply missed. My deepest condolences, Barbara
