April 9, 2026Sincere condolences to Sharon, Wayne, and their respective families on the very sad news of Lorraine’s passing.
Lorraine used to babysit my twin brother and me what feels like a century ago. As second cousins, we spent many hours together researching our family trees. My wife Teri and I hold such wonderful memories of the times we shared with her… helping out at CWA functions, enjoying meals with her and Ian, and those special fellowship times after church each week.
Lorraine also taught Teri floral arranging, and they loved sharing recipes together. Teri still smiles at the memory of me trying to beat Lorraine in the annual church Australia Day “Thong Throwing Competition”…a challenge that always brought plenty of smiles and laughter.
We will miss Lorraine immensely. She was an inspiration and a blessing to all who knew her. We take comfort in knowing she is now at home in God’s care.
April 9, 2026Our sincere condolences and deepest sympathy to Sharon and Wayne and your families on the loss of your dear mother and grandmother. She will be greatly missed by you, her family, and all who knew and loved her. Safe in the arms of Jesus
