Message: Aunt Lorraine was just a special person--strong and dedicated to her family her entire life.  She impressed me even well into her 90's--she knew and would talk about what was going on in the lives of each of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren (which were many).  She was a grand lady and we were all blessed to have known her. Lorraine raised a beautiful family and her legacy lives on in all of you. The Carr family has always known how to have fun when you are together and I am hoping all those wonderful memories will boost your spirits as you say goodbye to your beloved mom and grandma.
