How one tragic death on a day like any other has shown us the absolute fragility of life — Gail Walker

Tracey Camlin: Lorraine truly was everything she’s described as in this post. My manager had a wonderful sense of humour and always did her utmost in everything I asked for. I was talking to Lorraine on the Friday of the week before about a query. She said she wasn’t sure but would get back to me on Monday and to her word Lorraine rang me 9.00 on the dot on the Monday with the answer and got me sorted. We spoke another few times on Monday and little did either of us know that would be the last conversations we’d ever have together. Life is way too short. And I totally agree with all of the nice comments about Lorraine. She simply was beautiful inside and out.
