It is with profound sadness that we share the passing of our beloved mother, Loraine Valenti.

A woman of unparalleled kindness, strength, and love, she touched the lives of everyone who knew her. While we will miss her deeply, her memory will forever live on in the hearts of those who cherished her.

In accordance with her wishes and to honor her legacy, we kindly ask that, in lieu of flowers or gifts, donations be made to the Cancer Institute at St. Francis Hospital.

This organization held a special place in Loraine’s heart. Your contributions will support their vital work in cancer research and compassionate care for patients and families.

We are deeply grateful for your thoughts, prayers, and support during this difficult time. Words cannot express how much your generosity and kindness in celebrating Loraine’s life mean to us.

A special thanks to Dr. Bhoomi Mehrotra, Sandy Nisselhorowitz, and all the staff at St. Francis, who gave us the greatest gift of all: more time with her. Their extraordinary care, dedication, and research extended her journey, giving us precious years to create lasting memories. They became more than doctors and nurses—they became family. Loraine always wanted to give back to them for all they gave to her.

Lori was committed to helping others, and we hope to continue her legacy by supporting the institution that brought her comfort and hope. Your generous contributions will honor her life and help others in their fight against cancer.

Thank you for your love, support, and for celebrating Lori’s memory in such a meaningful way.
