My heartfelt sympathy to Ed, Frances and family on the the loss of Lorene.

May she R.I. P. in her eternal home and always cherish her memory.🙏❣️

Lorene, my heart is broken for your family. We shared many years of laughter in the glory days of Dubai. You and Leanne would pick me up on the way to Waxy's, and you would say, "Let the adventures begin!" I think of you spinning your web of charm around everyone you met. You had the best one-liners, and you would follow them up by saying, "Write it down, Maggie, in your little book of Lorenisms!" I have many memories of road trips to Al Ain, but the most unforgettable was our trip to Abu Dhabi. One of our mutual friends said there must be a Waxy's in Heaven, and she is there, salsaing on the dance floor with some of the guys who have gone before. That is how I will remember you, dancing and laughing and being the best company ever xx

Lorene, you were truly a sweetheart. It’s not in doubt, knowing the beautiful family you came from. We will keep you in our hearts and always remember you, especially each Easter, recalling your wonderful pysanka masterclasses and always your smile.

Rest in peace, Lorene. You will be so missed 🌺🌺🌺

Dearest aunt Francis, uncle Edward, Lori, Leanne, Jason, and extended family;

From our family to your family, we ask God to remember you all during this difficult time and to grant your beloved Lorene eternal life in His Heavenly Home.

We remember the special and fond memories of our childhood, and of many family celebrations; and so cherished is the bond we share, her warmth and spirit always present in our hearts. May fond memories give you comfort, and may Lorene’s memory be eternal. Вічная пам’ять.

With sincerest sympathy, love and prayers from aunt Sylvia, Rosemarie & John, Charlene & Andy & Family

Lorene, I will miss our monthly phone calls and our yearly summer visits. Through my health challenges you always made sure to keep in touch.

May you rest in peace 🙏

Love Auntie Shirley

I had the pleasure of working with Lorene at Wesgreen in Sharjah. Lorene started as my colleague, quickly became one of my best friends then became my family.

We had the best times together with the other part of our trio, Vicki Wallace, which Lorene lovingly labeled us as "The Three Amigas." We spent weekends together and most week nights in Lorene's apartment cooking, sharing stories and always laughing and having fun. We would take day trips to the Ajman pool on the weekends, go out for dinners and drinks or just stay in and spend time together.

Some of my best memories of not only living in Sharjah, but of my life, are of being with Lorene. She was so thoughtful and caring, had such a big fun-loving personality with her infectious laugh and was a true professional. Lorene was so efficient, organized and excelled at everything she did.

So many things remind me of her and always will. I am truly grateful to have had the chance to know Lorene, to have become so close to her and love her like I always will. Our friendship means the world to me and I am so thankful for our time together and the memories that we have made.

This photo is from one of our evenings out and whenever I look at it, I can hear Lorene's joyous laughter through the photo.

I send my sincerest condolences to Lorene's family during this tragic loss and pray they may find comfort in knowing that she is now free from any pain.

Rest peacefully Lorene, you are so loved and will be missed deeply.

In loving memory of Lorene, 'My Bestie' for the last glorious decade.

My heart is broken, but I'm so grateful for the years of laughter, tears and everything shared in between. You were more than a friend, you were the sister I never had.

Day or night, your door was always open. The Friday night rituals of the 'Three Amigas' will forever be cherished memories of pure joy and merriment for Melissa and me.

Our weekly trips to the pool stand out as some of our best times too! I smile when I remember you and Majid playing Smack-Bottom-Friday. I can still hear you announcing "It's the weekend, Bestie!" even though we had another full day of work ahead. We both knew we had something special to look forward to and it made our busy day fly by.

That beaming smile of yours and zest for life you shared so freely during our 'Granny Club' outings, will forever be treasured amongst our dear friends in the group.

You and I made a great team, working side by side at your dining room table every week without fail. Tasks were always made lighter when we put our heads together and chatted over coffee and your homemade banana bread.

The Christmas season wasn't complete without many a visit to your enchanted winter wonderland. All who entered felt your special joy and delighted in your Christmas Spectacular!

Even after you left the UAE, you were a constant in my life. The long distance between countries never separated us. Our daily messages, zoom sessions and phone calls kept the laughter and love flowing, even during the toughest of times. You faced the cancer with such strength and grace. You taught me so much about courage and resilience. Although I couldn't be there in person, I hope you knew I was with you in spirit, every step of the way.

I miss you countless times a day...

You'll always be in my heart,

dear friend.....

Until we meet again .....

I want to take this opportunity to share my deepest and sincerest condolences to Ms. Lorene's family. She was my 1st grade teacher in 2006/2007 and I remember her gentle nature, her soft tone and her warmth to this day. I have incredibly fond memories of her classroom and how enjoyable she made it for a class of restless 7 year olds. She made learning fun; she taught us life lessons through play. I remember the "teddy bear tea party" we had back then; we all brought in our favourite teddy bears or stuffed toys and we had snacks with them. I remember playing go fish and making jewelry out of her large jar of beads. She also taught my younger sister just 4 years later. She was close to my mother and attended my uncle's wedding. I had the pleasure of working alongside her after my graduation in 2018 - I had taken a gap year before attending university and worked as a KG1 assitant teacher.

She had an inexplicable energy about her that made everyone feel at ease. I wish I had gotten the opportunity to show her what I've become now, the career I have built for myself, the man I have married and the cats we are raising together. I know that she is watching over us all, and we will meet again. All the love from me and my family; I will always think of her xx

I worked with Lorene at Wesgreen Sharjah for 14 years! She was funny caring and we shared many highs and lows! I have such happy memories of our Fridays at the pool with Vicky Leanne and Majid as well as all our fun outings with all the girls. We were like a family - all living away from our home countries. Lorene you were an amazing and creative teacher and we loved all your ideas. AND your chicken pies were the best. Thank you for your friendship. I am so grateful you were part of our lives. Rest peacefully.

It was a short time but the best time working with this wonderful woman at Kelvin

May memories bring you comfort.

There is another bright star in the heavens.

Rest well.

Ms. Jewar was my head in grade 2 back in 2012-2013, she was less of a teacher more of a friend to me, she never talked to me in a loud voice always made sure to handle things with kindness and compassion, we had a close bond. Im lucky i got to spend some good years of my life with her she will always have a place in my heart! May her soul rest in eternal peace

Ms. Jewar was my first grade teacher in 2006, but she has been in my family's heart ever since. She was more than just a teacher, over the years, she grew into family, always included in our special occassions, and we stayed in touch since. Ms. Jewar is one of the kindest people I've met, and I strive to be as warm-hearted as her. We didn't know about her battle with Cancer, and were very heart broken when we did. I wish we had the chance to say goodbye, but she will always have a place in our hearts.

Ms. Jewar had a beautiful traditional with a teddy bear that she would pass around to students in her class to care for and take on adventures, and she decided to gift it to me last year, it's been in my bed with me ever since🤍

we love you Ms. Jewar.

In Loving Memory of Lorene Jewar

It’s hard to put into words the pain of losing someone as special as Lorene. She was truly one of a kind—beautiful, not just on the outside, but even more so within. Her light was infectious. She had this incredible gift of making everyone around her feel better, smile brighter, and laugh louder.

Lorene was my safe place, my constant cheerleader, and the person who could lift my spirits no matter what. I’ll always treasure the weekends we spent together in the UAE—those endless laughs, deep talks, silly moments, and her pure, radiant energy.

Life feels a little dimmer without her, but I know the warmth she gave so freely will stay with me always. I miss you deeply, Lorene. Thank you for being a beautiful part of my life. 💔

I was lucky enough to have taught with Lorene at Wesgreen in Sharjah back in 2005. She was so full of life and had the best laugh. We spent many a fun afternoon at botemless brunches and nights out in Dubai at weekends.

I'm truly saddened by her passing and Leanne I'm sending you and your family the biggest hug xx

My deepest sympathies to Lorene's family and close friends. May your memories together bring you comfort during this difficult time.

I had the privelage of working with Lorene at Kelvin High School. She was a true joy to have in our office. Her kind and caring demeanour was infectious. She went above and beyond to support our students, staff and families. She will be fondly remembered for her smile and her beautiful soul!

"A great soul serves everyone all the time. A great soul never dies. It brings us together again and again."

Rest in God's Loving embrace, Lorene. You are in our daily prayers and our hearts! Thank you for all your hard work in the parish! Вічная Пам'ять!

Lorene (Lo) was such a kind, compassionate, caring, and bright person. She always had the most beautiful smile on her face. I knew Lo well back when I was in elementary school at Crestview. She was always someone I looked forward to seeing. I'm so happy we were able to connect again a couple years when she moved back to the city. She will be deeply missed and remembered.

In this difficult time, we bow our heads in sorrow with you
and offer our heartfelt condolences for your loss.
There are no words to heal the pain and sorrow when the heart of a loved one stops beating.
Lorene’s heart was open to everyone,
and her smile was a light that warmed every soul. Kind, joyful, and full of warmth — Lorene will forever remain in the memory of all who had the joy of knowing her. May love and cherished memories bring you comfort and strength in this time of grief.

У цей важкий час разом із вами схиляємо голови в скорботі
та щиро співчуваємо непоправній втраті.

Неможливо загоїти біль і гіркоту, коли зупиняється серце рідної людини.
Серце Лорін було відкритим для кожного,
а її посмішка — світлом, що зігрівала душі.

Світла, добра, життєрадісна —
Лорін назавжди залишиться у пам’яті всіх, хто мав щастя її знати.

Нехай любов і теплі спогади допоможуть вам пережити цей біль.

My sympathy to all the family for your loss.

Some of my greatest memories from my child hood was with Aunty Lorene. She was my God mother and she always kept in touch. I remember being at her place in stonewall. She always let me play dress up and she had water balloons for my brothers and I to have a water fight. She did so many crafts with us. There is so many memories I will keep in my heart, rest easy ♥️

Мої найщиріші співчуття родині.

Доля подарувала мені зустріч з Лорен зовсім недавно, три роки тому. Це була надзвичайна жінка! Її оптимізм, добро, щирість не могли не вражати. Її тактовність, інтелігентність, освіченість спонукали бути кращою. Лорен усім серцем відчувала горе інших людей, вона дуже допомогла мені та моїй родині у час прибуття в Канаду з охопленої війною України. Я назавжди запам'ятаю її людяність та добро. Для мене вона житиме у пам'яті. Спочивай з миром.

My deepest condolences to the famil. you were a big part of my life growing up. My adopted godmother i will always rememember all those camping trips and our word search races. You were always the best and so fast at the. This year when I decorate my tree and house I will take a moment to think of you. Those decorations have stayed with me over the years and are the cherished ones on my tree and in my house. you were always kind and we will remember all the good times

I met Lorene in Sharjah when she worked at Wesgeen. She was what us Irish would describe as "full of craic." I was deeply shocked and saddened to read this. I hope she is now in a better place. Rest in Peace Lorene 🙏❤️

My deepest condolences to Lorene's family and friends. My heart is truly broken by hearing of her passing. I knew Lorene when I attended Crestview's Child Daycare Centre back in the 90s. "Lo" as we called her was so caring and kind to everyone she interacted with. I remember I was a shy kid, but herself and the other daycare workers always made an effort to make me feel included and seen. It's been maybe 10 years ago that we were able to reconnect through Facebook. It was a pleasure to see her travels and all her life updates through that platform and she would, from time to time, check up on me as well. The world lost a bright light, but may that light be so bright in the night sky, shining over her family and friends. You will be missed, Lo 💕

Goodbye for now my friend, my sista! I feel so fortunate to have known this beautiful woman for many years and many miles. The sisters and I travelled together on many occasions and so many people we met in numerous countries all believed we were all genuine sisters. In fact, my own father looked at a picture of Lorene and said "this is such a nice picture of you Darlene". What a compliment!!

Rest in peace, out of pain until we meet again! i already miss you!!❤️

My deepest condolences to Lorene's family!!
