“The family requests that you respect their privacy at this time. Lorraine touched many lives and was loved by so many. She was a remarkable, loving, compassionate and giving soul,” Spera added.
“To quote Will Rogers, she never met a person she didn’t like. She was an avid animal lover and contributed to many animal charities and rescues. She was wonderful and giving to her entire family. May God Bless her,” Spera’s statement concluded.
Many others have come out to share messages of sympathy and sorrow in the wake of Warren’s passing, with modern paranormal investigator Lee Roberts taking to Twitter to post a heartfelt memorial.
