To the Dumont Families - it is with great sadness that I hear of Lorna's passing - it had been over 50 years since my brother Gary Drown and I had the greatest times of our childhood playing at "the 6 Kids" house - as our backyards provided the path for some of our greatest adventures- and then Matthew and Mark were welcomed to our Gang and by the mid 1960's we were moved from our beloved Sigourney St. House to Bloomfield. Our memories of all of you have never left Gary or I and we are so sorry for the sadness you must feel over the loss of Lorna who we will forever remember with her vibrant, fun- loving and adventurous spirit and beautiful reddish-brown hair as we all played together everyday !! May her adventures continue in heaven under the loving and watchful eyes of your Parents and our Heavenly Father - and we thank you all always for introducing Gary and I to Banana and Peanut Butter on Toast sandwiches for dinner !!!! We have missed all of you and we send our sincere love and condolences to you and your families - Gary and I hope you remember us as we remember all of you !! Rest In a Peace and a Forever Childhood Lorna !

I hadn't the slightest opportunity to meet Miss Dumont, but early on as a teenager, I had the pleasure of meeting her daughter, Irene. She is beautiful, intelligent, caring, and full of spirit. In this one picture I can see where she gets all of it from. I know that from the moment you were taken from us you also began to look down on us as a guardian. I may not be in those sights, but I know that your family and friends will find comfort in that.
May you rest in peace, and your spirit live on through your family.
Sincerely,
Julian C. Mack

Dear Irene & family -
So very sorry to learn of your beloved Mom's passing. I know how much you loved her and can only begin to imagine the depth of your heartbreak as you mourn her loss.
Although I only had the privilege of meeting Lorna a few times, it's clear that the beautiful obituary you prepared captured her "one of a kind" spirit.
I hope that the many, many happy memories you have of your Mom, together with the knowledge that so many people are sending you love and sympathy, provide you with some comfort now and in the days ahead.
Love,
Erin Fitzgerald

To the Dumont Family my Prayers are with you and may the peace of Christ be upon you. Heaven holds a place for us all.
I had the opportunity to know Lorna at a young age and she was always a sweet person. Her battle is over and the victory is won. No more pain may you find comfort in knowing that she is free.
