    Dear Terry and Cory,
    I’m sure you don’t remember me but I was your father’s 8th grade teacher. We stayed and I met your mother when she was dating your dad. We kept in touch over the years and I loved them dearly. I am so very sorry for your loss
    Your mother was an amazing woman, loving, kind, courageous and deeply loyal. I know her loss will be keenly felt by both of you and your family. She will keep you all close and will be so happy to be with your dad. My deepest sympathy is with all of you. You are in my prayers.
    Sister Mary Joan

    My sincerest and deepest condolences to Lorraine’s family. She was my paraprofessional at the Molloy School for many years. She was the sweetest, kindest, and most caring person to all the children and staff. Her laugh was contagious. I considered her my friend and enjoyed watching her light up when talking about Terri, her children, and grandchildren. She will always be in my heart. Hope your good memories will find comfort and peace.
