Lorraine was such a lovely woman. I worked with her through several organizations in Flagler County. She was sweet, loving, and devoted to her passion of inspiring and helping women. She has left her positive footprint on everyone that she’s come in contact with over the years and she will be missed. Most of all, she was a faithful woman and I’m sure God has welcomed her into his Kingdom with open arms. ❤️
