    So sorry to hear of Lorna’s passing.
    Lorna as a gentle soul, a vigorous gardener and a wonderful companion to Ron.
    Lorna’s sense of humour and fun was so very kind and friendly.
    Lorna’s voice was so warm and unforgettable.
    I valued the many opportunities to visit Lorna’s garden and appreciated her skill at placing and nurturing plants.
    I am sure that my own garden is the better for the hints given by Lorna.
    A great example of faith.
    Sincere sympathy to all of her family.

    For several years Lorna and Ron were my neighbours as well as dear mentors and examples of faith beautifully and truly lived out each day.
    I have fond memories of cups of tea, cake and biscuits shared, walks in Lorna’s garden and deep discussions on faith and life.
    I am forever grateful for their love and support.
    Sending my love and sympathy to Mark, Jon and families.

    Jon and Mark,
    So sad to hear of your mum’s death and I extend love and condolences to you and your family as you live on with fond memories of a wonderful lady.
    As a neighbour for a brief time she was gracious and I enjoyed time in her special garden.
    I visited Lorna only a few weeks ago.
    She was charming, whimsical and so easy to chat with.
    She was was clearly proud of her family and spoke fondly of Leo.
    Love Margaret Naughton
