“Dear Sheila and family, We know your dear mother enjoyed a full life and loving family along the way and do hope she was not in any great distress or pain after the fall.

Much love to you, Helen & Gerry and Hugh & Myra also “

“Grandma Lorraine will be greatly missed. I pulled a Reincke lip and cried. She was one of the first people to welcome me in to this world. We used to spend time reading books, baking blueberry muffins and shooting rubber bands. Trips to Costco were the best with Grandma Lorraine; we would scout for free food samples while Mom shopped and topped it off with a hot dog from the deli. My family and I loved her a lot and know she holds a special place in heaven. Love, Samantha Loving P.S. Sale your stock in oatmeal. P.S.S. Up the Queen! “

Lorraine was like a grandmother to me and always was supportive in my life endeavors. If I ever wanted to cook, learn to drive, or needed a ride to a soccer game or a cello lesson, she was there for me. Lorraine lived a very full life and will always be loved. Peter “
“To Lorraine’s Family, When God calls a loved one home, it’s because he already has a better place for them where they will be forever alive. Lorraine’s passing was so sudden for all who knew her, but God, who knew her best, knew she was ready. I pray that during this time of your loss, that the bosom of Jesus Christ will be comfort for all of you. The memories that each of you have of her will will continue to light a path for you that will guard your steps. God Bless you during this time. “
“Dear Sheila and family, I am so sorry that your mother has passed on. I gather that at least you were not in some far off place. I always enjoyed knowing that your mom and my mother had common friends in Chicago (the Blackburns of Bissell Street.)”
“Sheila–just heard about your mother. I am so sorry about your loss. I think we probably all hope for a quick and painless passing for our parents when the time comes. Again, my condolences on the death of your mother; it is hard to measure such a loss.”
“Mi amiga Sheila, Commence abriendo tu e-mail, com mucho alegria pero inmediatamente transformo en profunda tristeza, al conocer que tu alegre y simpatica MAMITA ya no estaba junto a ti. Para todos aquellos quienes tu tuvimos el placer de conocerla, y compartir felices momentos, nos queda el hermoso recuerdo de su encanto, su humor y su termura. Que Dios te ayude a transitar con resigmacion el dolor de su ausencia. Y para ELLA, la “illiminacion absoluta”, en este paso a una nueva vida…Que Dios la reciba con amor y paz!!!”
“Dear Sheila and family, Just a quick note to send you my love to you and your family. I pray she made a safe journey. Debbie”
“Sheila and family, I was saddened by the news of your mother – may the memory of the righteous be a blessing for us all. I remember such a charming little lady with a wonderful smile. You could see the pride in her face when she looked at you. In a sense you are fortunate to have your Mom alert to the end – as my grandma used to say – -with her presence of mind. She lives through her children and her friends, her good deeds and your memories. I made a contribution in your mother’s memory to the Catholic Church here in Dakar to their fund for street children. If I sent it directly to you I was afraid you would redecorate the funeral home.”
“Dear Sheila, I’m trying to remember when and where I first met your mother. I think it was in Guatemala in 1995. I came to know her though through the stories you shared. Her life was a gift that keep fiving—and three great-grandkids on the way! My faith teaches me, and I beleive, that you will see her again. Vaya con Dios,”
“I’m so sorry to hear aout your news. Your mother was a wonderful lady. Wish she had made it to 100, but 89 is a pretty good run, and it sounded like she was enjoying her life. Please give my love to your family; I’ll be thinking of you on Friday.”
“I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your wonderful mother. I noticed she wasn’t at the OMA arts fundraiser this year and wondered how she was doing.”
“I last saw Aunt Lorraine at my mother’s funeral in June of ’94. She was so little and dear; polished like a precious gem. Had I a pocket I would have wrapped her up and tucked her away. The Brown family rarely saw the Hoban family, but given our simple roots there was some fascination for me in the more worldly Hobans from Oak Park. You’d be surprised at the childhood memories I’ve kept alive and embellished. I wish you all love and peace. On Friday I will offer some sort of celebratory toast to the Hoban’s, sending abundant light and love to our dear one who has passed over.”
