Lorna G. McDermott

To My Dear Aunt/GodMother,

I just wanted to say how much you truley have been missed these last 7 months by all of us who Love You so Dearly. My Girls just Love the snowman calender you gave us the couple Christmases ago. They take turns changing the dates as they pass it up for bedtime the night before. Our Ceramic Christmas tree light you made us is displayed and shines as like the Halloween pumpkin did in October. All so many sentimental memories we have of YOU...Happy 59th...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY-MY DEAR FRIEND

I can't express enough how much I Miss You. I Miss the shoulder I would cry on, and you always having the words to console me. So many years of Friendship, so many years of Laughs, so many Tears, But Always the BEST FREIND anyone could ask God for. Even after you were gone, You were there for me. Until we meet again.

Love,
Arlene

Dear Maureen and Ron,

Marlene sent me the booklet from the funeral Mass and the prayer cards. The picture on the cover of the booklet made me so happy... they truly were a special pair of people in my life. I cherish so many happy memories of our times together. I will use the prayer cards as they have special meaning to me. When I get back to Chicago, we will have to go out for a few beers and celebrate their lives....I see your dad dressed up like a German Frauline...

Dear Ron and Maureen,

You must be proud that God chose you to be Lorna and Bill's children, As I know they were so proud to be your parents. How they Loved You and expressed to me that you never disappointed them. Her love for Ron and Staci's two doggies, always talking about them and showing me pictures.

She was so fortunate to have you both, caring for her especially the last few months. She told me the last time I seen her she was ready to meet Dad but sad to...

Dear Lorna,

I am so happy I got to read you my personal letter while you were still with us, that meant so much to me and I thank God I got the chance to do so. There are no words to tell you what your friendship has meant to me these last 56 years. To Know You Is To Love You and I Will Miss You Very Much, But I will keep all our memories for all those years tucked away into my heart, Especially our promise to one another, when we were 14 years old, To be each other's Maid of...

Dear Ron and Maureen,

I know no words I express to you could ever console you on the loss of your Dear Mother, But know Mom, Jodi, and I are always here for you because that's what family is all about.

I have never seen a more beautiful service in my life. I feel so lucky and privilaged to be there and be a part of it. And as the Good Father said "You know there was no stops along the way for Lorna, she went straight up to heaven". That alone should give us all...

I've been asked to repeat the letter since the acoustics and having to share room weren't so great...


On behalf of Ron and myself, I would like to express our sincere thanks.

But realistically we cannot, for there are no words to tell you all how we feel, just as there are no words for you all to tell us how you feel.

It grieves us all to be here. But this is part of life. Regardless of one’s beliefs, there are two things we all have in...

Dear Ron,
I just found out about the death of your mom, Lorna. I have great memories of working with her on many projects for St. Hilary Mother's Club. A Great Gal! My sincere sympathy to you and the family. Joan Haley

Dear Maureen and Ron,

We have lost an angel on earth but will remember her always. Aunt Lorna was truly an incredible loving and giving person and all who knew her will miss her terribly.

All our love, thoughts and prayers are with you both now... and always.

Love - Your cousin Lori (Loraine), John and Joel
