Our sincere sympathy at this time.
In the past three years our family experience two health-related traumatic periods.
Lorna's knowledge of NHS systems, and her tireless advice and support guided us through dark times with hope. She was simply wonderful. We will be forever grateful.

Sympathy in your loss
Lorna was such a great friend over the past 46 years, through thick or thin, and in a long list of places (mainly Oxford, London, Cambridge, and several places in California). We shall miss her enormously. We traded many notes on education, child-rearing, education, Irish and Scottish culture, health-care administration, genealogy, and much else.
Lorna was never more resourceful than in recent months, when she provided a guiding light to Clive's family in a time of great need, and this for the second time in three years. Her ingenuity in making the NHS work as it should was unsurpassed, and a countless people benefitted from her patience, persistence and determination.
