From Kirsty Loudon:
“Others joined in the singing and we
were very much with you in spirit and
voice that Monday. We are all so glad
Lorraine led a non-audition choir
encouraging every single one of us to
join together and sing. I was …. looking
over the village and Lorraine and Peter’s
home. Thinking of Lorraine.”
Some of Lorraine’s former pupils
brought their instruments. Rowan
Steele and Jennifer Brown played ‘Hills
of Lorne’ on their fiddles …. playing
together just as they had last November
in one of Lorraine’s memorable ‘An hour
with….’ concerts. Her lasting legacy will be the countless numbers who have gained
confidence and pleasure in making music from her patient teaching. Lorraine
inspired and encouraged all ages and abilities and central to her Christian faith was
her dedication to community outreach.
On Monday 11 May 2020 at 12 noon, her much-loved Eddleston community
reached out to her in their shared grief - and reached out to Peter and Patrick and
the family, in supportive love and prayer.
Revd Pamela Strachan, OLM.
Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of
services, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same
God who activates all of them in everyone. To each is given the manifestation of the
Spirit for the common good. (1 Corinthians 12: 4-7)
