To Roy, Alman, Dayna, Melissa, Mathew:
Not knowing of your wife's/mom's illness, Hunter and I were shocked and saddened to hear of her passing. It seems only yesterday we were sitting with her at court-side watching you, her kids, playing wonderful and enviable tennis -- from the Coupe de Quebec, to Zonals and Sectionals. Her easy and constant smile was so telling of her warm and friendly manner. I have never met another tennis parent who could sit and watch her kids play matches with such an even, pleasant temperament. We will miss her greatly. I hope her life inspires all of you Lord children to achieve the highest level of tennis you seek. You are terrific tennis players and athletes. As long as you are on the courts, memories of your wonderful mom will endure for those of us who were fortunate enough to have known her during our years of New England junior tennis.

Camden, Staley and Tiina Smith send you our deepest condolences. Iona was one of those rare and wonderful tennis parents who seemed to truly love the process, with all its ups and downs, of having her kids play our sport.

Our deepest sympathy to the Lord family. My friend Iona Lord was a phenomenal woman. I remember her as a loving mother and a dedicated wife. She was one of the first interns in the Travelers Minority Actuarial program and a graduate in Mathematics at UCONN. With all these accomplishments, Iona remained a humble person that selflessly gave to others. Her unselfishness was evident in her support of her husband, Alman; and in the confidence, academic success and tennis achievements of her talented children, Dayna, Melisa and Mathew. I will always miss her.

Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you in this terrible time of loss. May God keep you close as I'm sure he is keeping Iona. Jacque, Ed, Nolan and Sayer

My condolences go out to the LORD & NELSON family and friends. My friend Iona (Nelson) Lord was a phenomenal woman. She was a dedicated and loving mother, a faithful wife, and a rock that translated in a solid foundation for her family. I met Iona in 1983 at Weaver High School. She was one of the first interns in the Travelers Minority Actuarial program and she successfully completed a degree in Mathematics at UCONN. With all these accomplishments, Iona remained a humble person that selflessly gave to her family and friends. Iona's unselfishness was evident in her support and dedication to her husband, Roy Lord; and in the confidence, maturity and academic success she instilled in her talented children, Dayna, Melisa and Mathew. She nurtured their good character, their academic successes and their exceptions talents as tennis players. As I remember my friend Iona, I am comforted that she will live on through her wonderful children. I will always miss her.
