My Aunt Lorraine was a wonderful person. She was like a 2nd mother to me and my sister, Trena. We have many wonderful memories of her and our many family vacations/outings together. May she RIP.

I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Hill who was always faithful in attending the Rose Hill services at King's Daughters & Sons and Woodland Oaks. She was so pleasant to talk with and always had a sweet smile. We will miss her. My prayers are with you.
