I heard of the passing of Lorraine Jackson yesterday. I’m so very sorry to hear this news. To Lorraine’s family, please accept my deepest condolences. I loved Lorraine too – what a wonderful woman of God. She impressed me because she always cared for her family and, although she never had much, she was always welcoming of friends and family to her home. She also cared about the Great Commission and I saw that she always supported her church and Missions. I am so grateful that I came to know her as my friend and I praise the Lord that she is in His arms at long last, pain-free and blessed.

Lorraine was a wonderful person. I got the pleasure to know Lorraine when my grandmother Helen Kitts (Reynolds) lived a couple of houses down from her out on Union Road. She loved her family and most of all her God. You can take comfort in knowing that Lorraine is resting in the arms of her Lord and Saviour. You’ll be in our thoughts and prayers!
