I did not know Lorraine very well but I could tell she was a very nice person and when I heard she had passed away I felt such sadness. Praying that the family will be strong and know that Lorraine is being very well taken care of with the Lord. May God bless her soul and may God bless her family and friends
Lorraine was the life of the party. She brought sunshine where ever she went. She truly was an incredible human being with endless energy and a zest for life. There will be an empty hole in the Furtado family now, but she’ll always be remembered with love.
