Not sure what to say?

Hi Lorna, I look forward to our visits when I get lucky enough to practice in your studio room; I always feel looked after at your library. May you continue to bless the world through your seat in heaven.

My son and I are enjoying Lorna's piano at the Harold Washington Library and just wanted to say thank you for this wonderful gift in her memory and offer our condolences for your loss.

Lorna you will never be forgotten the kindness of your smile and gentleness of your spirit.

Your friend Kenneth Lane.

Love you, Lorna.

My heart goes out to her husband, her father...
