The obituary notice of Anne Lorraine (Laurie) SMITH

So sorry to hear of Lorraine's passing. We have had some great times with Lorraine and Bob over many years.
Sincere sympathy

John and Marion

I first met Lorraine when we started school at Corpus Christi in Gateshead from the age of 5 we went through infant, junior, and senior school together, we attended a years secretarial course at Gateshead college we attended each others weddings in 1972 and kept in touch. I went on to have 3 children and we drifted apart for a while. But Lorraine contacted me after a few years and we kept in touch by telephone telling each other about our lives. I attended Bob’s funeral and it was lovely to see her again. She again kept in touch by telephone when we chatted and put the world right. I was so happy to be able to see her when she was admitted into hospital we laughed and cried together talking of old times schools and our lives. She was a wonderful friend throughout our school years and I’ll miss our chats. Sending love to her family. Deepest sympathy from Elaine and Joe xx
