I was truly saddened to hear of the passing of Lorna. I worked with her in the City of Mississauga for many years and was always encouraged by her willingness to commit to helping women facing difficulties and acceptance of all, regardless. Her love for her husband, Duncan,her children and grand-children was remarkable. She will be missed.

I just heard that Lorna had passed away. I worked with Lorna at the City of Mississauga for many years and always admired her passion for life and helping others. I remember when she and Duncan got married (I can't believe it's been 25 years)! Lorna will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her.

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Lorna. She was an amazing lady who did so much for everyone, including the community. She was so good for my father Duncan ... in the 25 years they were together, she got him involved in the church, acting, Peel Help Line and working with troubled youth. My family will always appreciate what Lorna did for Duncan over the years. My condolences to Lorna's family. Remember, loved ones live on in our memories ... visit them often.
Steve.
