To the sad passing of Lorraine and deepest sympathies to malcolm the astbury and ground family and all her friends who loved her. Lorraine reminds me of the characters in the wizard of oz, she possessed all the attributes they were seeking all in one! a brain to solve everyone's problems she knew. A heart so big to love all her family and friends and courage of the greatest lion to fight and protect all she loved, right till the end. The world is a poorer place without her and we are all better to have known her. Sweet dreams lorraine sail away sweet sister, god got the best one xo

Forever thinking of you MAC.
Lorraine Astbury (née Wright).
If flowers grow in heaven, in land that's wild and free, Lord place them in my sisters arms and tell her they're from me.
Please tell her that I love her and will miss her every day, and tell her there is so much that I would still like to say.
Remembering her is easy, she is in everything I do, I miss her so much every day but I know that she's with you.
If tears could build a stairway made from all the pain, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
Lord please take care of her, and I hope that she will see that she was such a special person, and a special sister to me xxxx

Though sorrow comes with your passing,
Our hearts find peace, ever-lasting.
The best Auntie ever! We'll miss you deeply. Rest in peace xox
