It has been a blessing and honour to be Lorain's aunt. She was a gentle soul, although underneath there was a spark that was best not to mess with. I regret that I never saw her in her home environment, the invitation was always there. Now I will leave that in the past and keep her home in my heart with the rest of the loved ones we've lost. COVID19 that stole her from us is keeping so many of us away, but I sincerely wish that I could be there with you; Mark, Tony, Alison, Henry, Gloria and Ryan. My loving sympathy to all of you. Let all of our love and memories of Lorain carry you through this most difficult time and help you move forward without her by your side. Lorain, I will miss more than words can say, love you forever.

We were so sad to here of Lorain's passing. Things don't always turn out the way you planned, or the you think they should. There are things that go wrong that don't always get fixed or get back together the they were before broken things stay broken, know matter now much she tried,, (she loved her sisters) and she loved every one with her big heart and smile. Lorain inspired me with very calm feeling so much like her Mother Ruby Careless, Lorain well be missed forever God be with you always. Our hearts and deepest sympathy do out to you from Clayton Anna Megan and Jake, Bobby , And Auntie Elsie Careless.

Dear Mark and family - my heart goes out to you all as you navigate through your sudden and loss of Lorain. I will always remember Lorain with great fondness as we were friends in high school and met you both a year later in Germany when you were posted there. Lorain's quiet and determined nature was peppered with a twinkle of humor when we shared our adventures of the past. She will be missed greatly by many who knew her true self. I wish for Time to be gentle with your hearts and spirits - life is precious and fragile. May your love of family, friends and memories give your and your family strength during this difficult time.
I was so saddened to hear of your loss Mark, Tony and Ryan.
One of my fond/fun memories of Lorain was when we transplanted earth worms from your Cold Lake garden into my Cold Lake garden. Lorain and I had a lot of good laughs together during your time in Cold Lake.
Please accept my deepest sympathies.
