  34. I am so sorry to see this today. Even though I knew one day it would be here, I am still so very sad to know she is gone. I never met Lorraine in person, rather, I knew her as a faraway friend who I visit virtually anytime. She was an anchor here in this blogworld, welcoming me when I was just beginning. I will pray for her, but also for the beloved family she left behind when she gathered her wings and her heavenly reward. Thank you so much for allowing us to share in her life and in her death, as well as in your grief. I will come back here and visit often, for I know Lorraine has still so much to teach.

  53. I just applied for a Car Loan from Mr Pedro and his investment funding company and an Unsubsidized Loan. After doing some research on different lenders I chose Discover because they seem to offer some of the best benefits in the market (at this precise moment in time) at a 2% rate. Contact Mr Pedro on pedroloanss@gmail.com via WhatsApp: +393510140339. to apply for any type of loan.
