Rod, please know that Lorraine & I have shared soo many days @ good old Bassett-Walker.the stories we could tell. She loved you & her grand-children. She was so proud od your daughter. She looked so peaceful as I viewed her remains. She always called me "Gilbert" never Margie or any of the other names.😂 Margie LaDell Gilbert
Roderick I'm deeply sorry for your loss. Lorene, affectionately known as "Rene", was such a sweet person and will certainly be missed by all who knew and loved her. I remember the time she came to my house with my best friend and she left with cuttings from a flower I had. She told me one day I should see how that flower had grown. That's the way I felt about our friendship. It had grown into something very beautiful. Sleep on Rene. Take your rest. Affectionately, Emma Retta Holland
The first day that I met Ms Lorraine she became my Ma Lorraine We had a special bond which she called me her daughter. She will truly be missed at my family's reunions and breakfast on Christmas morning. There's not enough words to tell just how much she meant to me and my family. Ma Lorraine will always hold a special place in my heart. Rod, you know that I love you always. Thank you for taking care of "Ma" the way that you did and sharing her with me. She's in a better place now with no more suffering. She's at peace and for that we can celebrate her life wholeheartedly. To the entire White Family you are in my prayers. Sweet rest Ma Lorraine.
