I am lost for words. Since I heard the sad news of you passing Lorri I really can't believe you have gone so early from this world.
However, I do have many many memories. I arrived in Melbourne in the early 1980's and we worked together. You totally took me under your wings. We had many trips, Rutherglen Red weekend, Hanging Rock, visiting your relations on the farm, and many more. Most of all I recall our Friday nights at The Anchor and Hope! We rocked till we dropped.
I remember you and Steve arriving at our house in the UK on your honeymoon again we had a great time.
Those memories will stay with me forever.
Go now my friend Rest in Peace. Look down on us and smile, as we will when we think of you. xx
Loz - Lorraine,
So saddened at your passing, but remembering the hundreds of chats and laughs we had at Yarra with a smile.
You deserve a beautiful peaceful rest now my friend.💕
Lori,
I will miss our charts at Yarra Ranges Health, your days in the WRAC we shared a common bond with my parents, both being in the army and your service. You were full of life and will be truly missed. Your family gave you a lovely sendoff🥰
Soldier, your job is done. Rest easy.
Lest we forget
Our condolences to Darren, Emma and families. It was a shock to hear of Lorraine’s passing. We have fond memories of her recent travels to Sydney. May she rest in peace.
I am so sorry I couldn’t farewell Lorraine today. Will always remember our tennis days. Both on court and watching at our annual visits to the AO. Many a long day and night watching our favourites.
You faced many a challenge head on and still stayed strong. Living life to the fullest.
Too young to leave Lorraine. RIP. You have left us so many memories. Thanks Lorraine.
Lori, may you rest in eternal peace. Love carla & family xx
You will be missed by all Lori, thinking of you both Darren and Emma ❤️
Dear Lorraine was a treasured and loving school friend from the Sancta Sophia College Glenroy days.
I will always remember her with a smile on her face and a voice to match.
At our school reunions it was just like being back in our early teens again, because Lorraine was so much fun.
Rest in Peace lovely lady ❤️

To Lorraine's family and friends.
I met Lorraine through my friend Lynne who was her neighbour.
She were certainly a larger than life character who enjoyed life and was a dear friend too Lynne, and she will miss you enormously. I will miss your cheery disposition when I visited.
My sincere condolences to your children and family. Taken way to soon.❤️
Darling we miss you so much,
you are now at peace, nothing and no one can hurt you now. all our love 😍 and prayers to both Darren , Emma and families 💞🎶💕
We were shocked when we heard that you had left this earth. Hope you are up there dancing and singing. She loved Darren and Emma.
RIP Lori
Sending my deepest condolences and thoughts to Emma, Darren and family and friends on their loss . Lori spread brightness, laughter, joy and had such a zest for life. She loved to dance, sing and was a social butterfly just as her daughter Emma . Lori was an incredible support for myself and my family during my battle with breast cancer , attending fundraisers, wearing pink proudly and always checking in . She was a great friend to my mum, a friendship forever treasured. She was a bonus motherly figure who I will miss dearly but as I promised her as I sat by her bedside I will always care, support and be here for Emma. I will always remember countless sleepovers , attending Emma’s dance concerts with you, going to the football together and many other milestones since I met you when I was in primary school. You and your beloved blues boys did get the last laugh against our Dees. I still cannot believe I am writing this but keep dancing and singing up a storm. Your memories and spirit lives on . Forever missed and the world certainly sparkles less without you here ❤️
I was standing in line over 11 years ago, by myself at the Kooyong Classic and you easily struck up a conversation with me. Quickly you noticed my accent was not Australian and immediately introduced me to Darren. We've been getting along ever since and I'll never forget your hospitality as I got to know you over the years. You will be missed.
Condolences to Darren and family 🙏❤️
Still feel surreal that you are no longer with us. In the short time I have known you, you have always brightened any room with your smile. You were like a 2nd Mum to Emily and always so supportive of her. We couldn’t be more grateful for all the support you have given Emily over the years especially during her cancer treatment.
Whenever I had the pleasure of being in your presence, you always gave me a good laugh.
We promise to give your family especially Emma, all the support in the world during this tough time.
May you rest in peace
