Norman, Robert, Heather and family,
Saddened to hear the news of Lorraine’s passing.
Always smiling and kind when I was in her company. You never realize how some families have always been a part of your own, how simple and sweet memories of growing up have contributed to your feeling of what family is. Sure would love to hear now, Mama saying to Pop, “Lorraine and Norman are coming out, they’ll be up to the time Saturday”.
I am sorry for your loss and I hope that happy memories quickly help the sadness ease.
Sincere condolences,
Lori ( Wheadon) and Larry Hagen

Norman & Family,

I am deeply sorrowed by Lorraine’s passing. There are so many wonderful memories of our growing up together in Adams Cove. Seems all those who were such a part of my life in that little community will soon have passed on. Life is such a small dash in time and we can only look forward to being united in the eternal life which follows. My deepest sympathy to you, Norman, and your family. May the many wonderful memories made in your lifetime together comfort and sustain you in this time of great loss. Clayton Penney

Norman, Heather, Robert, Kevin and families:
We are deeply saddened to hear of Lorraines’s passing. I have many fond memories of Lorraine growing up in Adam’s Cove, she was my Grade 5 teacher, I was a bridesmaid at her wedding and we worked together at Memorial University… When I last visited Lorraine, we reminisced about those times. I will cherish my fond memories.
As you know, we are presently in Florida and will think of you all in the sad and difficult days ahead. We send love to you all.

I have many wonderful memories of Lorraine from my childhood, Adam’s Cove vacations, picnics at Flamber Head and escapes from studies to Ayreshire Place. Then later memories with Colin, Nola and Tisha.
There was always a welcome from Lorraine whenever and wherever we met
