Miss Lorrie brings my memory back to the early 1990’s at the Shoney’s restaurant in Denham Springs, where I first met her and gained the utmost respect for her, learning she was raising seven children on her own prompting me to leave a very generous tip every morning she waited on me, she always had an exciting story to tell about her children, especially the oldest one that was her trusted babysitter at 10 years old, Lorrie had an upbeat personality with the biggest heart in the world. I was glad I had the opportunity to get to know her.

Thank you Leon for your kind words about my mom. She definitely had her hands full with raising all of us on her own ♥️

To my beautiful and loving sister, even though we do not see either eye on a lot of things we were always there for one another. I love you and I will miss you. You have finally earned your wings.

It was a blessing to have got to meet my sister in law last year. It was worth the drive. She’ll be deeply missed.
