There probably nothing I can say that will ease the pain of Lorraine’s loss. Sudden deaths like this deny you that gradual transition that you expect in life; and the time to make adjustments. Lorraine lives on though in her children and in her grandchildren, of whom I sure she was immensely proud. To Maurice and the Radke and Doherty families, you are in my thought in this difficult period.
Nell & Jim Gallagher
Lorraine was the first person to identify developmental delays in our son when he was 5 months old and we were thrilled when she became his job coach many years later. Recently we enjoyed sharing ‘grandchildren’ and ‘travel’ stories. Our hearts go out to her cherished family.

My thoughts are with your family at this difficult time.
Mary Kay Parkin (Sullivan)

Maurice,I was so glad that I ran into you again last year and reminisce about the days when we taught together. This is indeed sad news to hear about Lorraine and my condolences go out to you and your family.

Sincere sympathy to the Radke family, I worked with Lorraine at DACL and taught Alisia in grade 1 at Springbrook school so have had a very pleasant association with both throughout the years. Lorraine was always such a gentle, kind and thoughtful person. She will be missed by many. I do hope you find comfort in your shared memories of her. Margaret Hogben, Orangeville
