I am saddened to know that Lorna has passed. Her warmth and interest in others was her hallmark.
People do not often remember what was said by another, but rather how that person made them feel.
Lorna will be remembered
In our hearts as caring and as a gift to humanity.
I am privileged to have worked with her, and she will leave me with her influence.
Sincere Condolences to her loved ones.
