I am so sorry for your loss.  My prayers are with all of you. I am one of Lorraine's Nursing School sisters. We are all so lucky to have had each other for these many, many years.  We will miss her and her beautiful smile.

My deepest sympathies to the Sauvage family during their time of grief! As my sister, Wanda Ford stated, Ms. Lorraine had a profound presence in our childhood. Even as we became adults, she was still there helping out and lending her love and support whenever it was needed. She helped me through my first pregnancy and even walked the floor at my parent's house with me until it was time to go to the hospital for the birth of my first child. Through the years, holiday's and special occasions were blessed with her presence. Lisa, Linda, David, Danny, Dean, and Donny, I'm sure you all know what a special person your mother was. Thank you for sharing her with us as we all grew up together! May you find peace and comfort in God as you mourn the loss of your dear Mother. 

Ms. Lorraine had a profound effect on my youth--taking me to the petting zoo with her children, gifting me Chanel 5 perfume and other accesories for my teen years, and providing a loving example of being a mother and loyal friend to others.  Her children and my siblings and I grew up close together over those childhood years, and my mother and father remained close to her.  She was always a nurse showing care for my parents' health.  I'll always appreciate her providing the funeral meal for our father when he passed away.  She brought joy and laughter to our lives.  We have many beautiful memories of her shared times with my parents and us.  She gave my husband and me a mattress after Katrina took our possessions.  When it was time to replace that mattress, we chose one that after we got it home, we saw the tag read "Lorraine".  I am sorry we will be unable to attend her services in person, but our spirit and prayers remain with her and her family during this time.  


Lorraine was a dear friend during our years at Hotel Dieu Nursing School. My fondest memory was her beautiful smile.  

My sincere condolences to the family and friends of Lorraine Kleibert Sauvage. I first met her in 1961 when we entered nursing school. Over the years, I knew her to always be kind, caring and a very hard worker. Lorraine was a good and faithful servant of the Lord and with this sentiment, I pray these words....”Saints of God, come to her aid....angels of the Lord, receive her soul and present her to God the most high.”

I am saddened to learn of the loss of an old friend and nursing classmate. We shared so many memories over the years.  Although our times together were limited, whenever we saw each other, we just picked up  where we left off at the last meeting. That is the joy of friendship. Rest peacefully now, my dear friend. My love and sympathy are extended to the Kleibert and Sauvage families.  May good memories comfort you during this difficult time of grief.
