I was a pilot with Transair at the same time as Lorraine, we did many northern flights together, she was professional, courteous, and had a great sense of humour. My sympathy to her family. Tony Birch. - Posted by: Tony Birch (Co-Worker) on: Oct 30, 2013

Lorraine and I were the best of friends a very long time ago. We always had fabulous conversations and much fun together. She was my bridesmaid. Sadly, as often happens in life, we lost touch with each other. Just last week I was thinking of how much I miss her and want to see her again. She was a beautiful and intriguing lady. I have always loved her and I always will. She has a special place in my heart forever. Sincere condolences to Tricia, Margo and Lorraine's family. - Posted by: Maria Anderton (Friend and Former Co-worker) on: Oct 17, 2013

I had the privilege of knowing Lorriane when she worked at Sport Manitoba. She was a wonderful person, always had a smile on her face when greeting me each day. I enjoyed our daily conversations at the receptionist desk. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. - Posted by: Laralie Higginson (Co-Worker) on: Oct 15, 2013
