Through years of serving the community and the Lord, Lorraine has acquired ties with many people, places, and organizations. For those interested, she would like to share some of these life experiences in an attempt to bring people closer to God and a christian lifestyle. In the page below you will find some of her links, art, photos, and experiences.

Lorraine's late husband Jim, who passed away in the Fall of 2002 from complications brought on from alzheimers, became Lorraine's focal point for more than a decade. As she selflessly helped Jim battle this dreadful disease (being his primary caregiver), her life's door was opened by many callings from the Lord and Our Lady. Jim, who seemed to attain an innocence about himself through the illness, became known to those close to the family as "The Little Lamb".

Lorraine has dedicated practically every Wednesday evening and Sunday afternoon for the past 16 years to the prayer group in Pana, IL. Jim accompanied her until the very end.

The Petals from Heaven site contains a collection of messages. These messages have been received since October, 1988, by a prayer group in Pana, Illinois, which is dedicated to Our Lady. The messages are being received by 'inner locution' through a woman who is a member of this prayer group. The prayer group firmly believes in the authenticity of the messages, and that they are being directly related to us by Our Most Blessed Mother. The prayer group in no way wants to impose their beliefs on anyone. They only hope this site will be an inspiration to the viewer on his faith journey. The prayer group meets every Wednesday at 7:00 p.m. and every Sunday at 3:00 p.m., at the Grotto behind the hospital in Pana, Illinois. Everyone is most welcome.
Praise Be God Now and Forever. Praise Be Our Eucharistic King.
Praise and Adoration be His Now and Forever. Amen.
