as he shared the news on his Facebook page. He wrote: "Just heard the
horrific news that beautiful Lorraine has passed over. One of the kindest,
funniest, beautiful and caring souls I ever had the privilege to know. My heart
goes out to John and all that knew her. This week is awful, just hell on earth.
Please give your loved ones the biggest squeeze tonight. REST IN POWER YOU
ABSOLUTE QUEEN." Tributes began pouring in for Lorraine, with many
