In 70 years there was only one Christmas and one of your Birthdays I have not been with you----until now. This year is the second time in my life we were not together. Not to hear your voice at a midnight Mass. It was hard to not hear you sing in the past few years. Yet it was just as hard to hear you sing because it always brought me to tears. The crystal clear voice with a range that could touch heaven and make us feel God was right there with you-in you-talking to us through you. You were missed. You are missed. You were loved. You are loved.
It was my privilege to care for you as you asked me to do. It was my blessing to be with you the last days and nights as you traveled to reach your final destination with the Lord. As with all you did in this life--you did it with grace and dignity and pure determination and grit--nothing was going to stop your journey and I thank you for letting me hold your hand as you traveled on. It was amazing to see--you were amazing then and always.
Love,
Linda---your very proud daughter

My Tribute to Mom - Traditions of Life, Pass Them On:
Mom, The one person who cared and fed me, When I was too young realize what it all meant. As time passed and through her unconditional love, She's the one who nurtured and supported, hugged me and consoled me, when i was old enough to understand. She's the one you count on. Through good times and bad. She's the one you can count on for laughter, for understanding, for tears. She's the one who showed me the good of life, the fascination of people. She's the one who portrayed to me and taught me, to look for the good in all things. She taught me to believe in myself and in my feelings. She taught me to care for others, unselfishly, anonymously, for no gift or return to me, but for the feeling and joy that it may create within me. She's the one that taught me to treat all people justly, humanely, with consideration and dignity. She's the one who taught me "to thy own self be true" and accept and be responsible for my actions. She's the one that can warm your heart and start the glow, in so many ways big and small. She has shown me so many ways to deal with the problems of life, when I felt all else would fail. She taught me how to cook, be clean, be mannered, be polite and be sufficient. She taught me to be understanding, to respect the opinions and wishes of others, but also to fight for that which is right. She taught and encouraged me to always do my best, no matter how tough the situation may be. She's always taught me to reach for my goals, feel free to make a wish, to say a prayer and when possible believe in a dream. Through my MOM I've learned a faith beyond my earthly realms and to find solace in this faith. She has always been there for me and I hope I'll always be there for her.
Though I'm far from perfect, I've got and had my faults and failures, But I've also got and had, my good and my triumphs.
My life has been truly blessed and rewarded by having the MOM I did. God created a life and shaped a destiny with me, But he passed on the wisdom and the help that only a mother can give, To guide me through my life and to fulfill my destiny.
I hope that through my lessons of life, from my teacher, my friend, my MOM, that I too may be able to pass on and teach to my children, this priceless and valued tradition called "LIFE".
Thank You Mom, I Love You.
Your Son, Bill Hibbard - This was given to my mom on Mothers Day May 13, 1999
In memory of the greatest mother in heaven and on earth. - Mom's birthday is December 25. She was a child of Christ and a living angel among us.

My deepest condolences to Lorraine's family. She was one of the people that made an impression on me when I was assigned to Our Lady Mother of the Church in Commerce City. She told it like she saw it but had a big heart as well. Unfortunately, I did not know her in the choir days. But she was very instrumental in having people be prepared and trained to be lectors at Mass. I loved her dry wit because it was much like my dry humor as well. What a testament her life was to the great things a person can accomplish and be. But her feet were planted solidly on the ground. Unfortunately, I'll not be able to be at her service in Castle Rock on January 14th but I'll always remember her spirit and strength.
May she rest in peace and may her dry wit bring a smile to the Lord's face in heaven also.
Fr. Terry Kissell

My favorite memories were growing up and all the time spent at Grandma & Grandpa's house. Every year at Thanksgiving the cousins usually found a way to all have an overnight with each other and sometime that weekend it was a big event to put up their tree. The bubble lights and whistling bird hidden in the tree were my favorite. It was fun for all of us, but I think Grandma enjoyed it most. Gathering the very large family crowd around the dining room table, kitchen table, and any spot you could find to eat on Sundays for spaghetti dinners. Even though she was working and always active with the church, she found a way to keep the family gathering. I assumed growing up all families were as close as ours. It wasn't until I think middle school when I realized our family was special. Weeks during the summer spent at the house, playing in the very large back yard, climbing the tree in the front, or running over to the B's so we could swing on their porch swing. She would always comment on how little I ate back then, always telling me " You eat like a bird."
Over the years all the Grandkids have grown and started families of their own. The sparkle in grandmas eyes and the smile on her face each time there was a new baby in the family. She adored her grandchildren and her great grandchildren. She was very close with all 3 of my girls, but over the last 6 (as of 12/15) she was very close with Teagan. Teagan was always excited to go shopping with Yaya and Grandma when they would go. Not sure who enjoyed it the most. lol. Once grandma stopped going shopping Teagan made it a point to have Yaya take her to the store to buy grandma cookies before they went down to visit. Teagan spent hours entertaining Grandma and the other residents with her random songs on the piano, dancing to " Jolene", or reading to them even if she didn't know the words. My heart shattered when I had to tell Teagan grandma went to be with God.
Grandma, you are greatly missed!! You have taught me so many different lessons in life, some I am sure you meant to and others we learned just from watching you. Please give everyone my love and give my dad a hug from his girls please. I will forever hold you in my heart and cherish my memories, until we meet again.
