Have just heard of Lorraines passing. So very sad to hear. She was a wonderful woman, mother and Sittee. We met Sittee through her daughter Liz and got to know her and the rest of the family more when Eileen and Lulu were born. She will be missed. Love to all the family.

I have just read about Lorraine's passing. Lorraine was such a lovely lady and will be so missed.
I remember Lorraine from when I was young girl when she had her flower shop in the Cubacade and my dad had the camera shop, she was always so friendly.
I then met her family one by one at different times and I have a huge love for all of them.
My deepest condolences to the family, Lorraine will be so missed and I will miss our catch ups.
Much love to you Lorraine, you were one very special lady.

Very saddened to hear of Lorraine’s passing.
A truly exceptional woman. I’ll cherish our last coffee even more now but will hold strong to all the values you instilled in me at the age of 14 when you gave me my first job back in 1988 at our loved ‘Broadway Flowers’. You believed in me and let me ‘Boss’ after school everyday until I finished college and then I loved the first few years as we set up the florist in the then Cubacade on Cuba St together. When I was with you I felt like anything was possible.

The love you had for your family was immense and unconditional. You were and still are the strongest woman I’ve ever met !
We shared the same name and we shared the same birthday.

I was so lucky to get the opportunity to learn Floristry from hands down the absolute best there was, you also taught me how to swear (a lot) a trait that is still very strong to this day :) and I’ll continue to do you proud.

So much respect for you Lorraine ❤
I’m humbled by the time I spent with you and being the little kid under your wing. You made a hugeimpression on my life and I’m truly grateful for that.
Arohamai to all the family.
Go well Lorraine xx imbedded in my heart forever and PS: don’t give Jock too much of a hard time up there!!

Our last catch up at your place xx
