My warmest sympathy to Lorna's family. I first met Lorna at Brownies and Girl Guides where she would come along with Terrianne. Always kind and helpful with her warm caring manner. So nice to have met up with her again at Windsor Community Church and Steady As You Go exercise class until very recently.
Lorna will be sorely missed.
RIP
Carole

I knew Lorna when she gave her time and shared her talent at rest homes, bringing joy with her music. Always cheerful, taking the time to interact with the residents.
Thank you so much Lorna, for all you gave. Rest in peace beautiful lady.

We were very sad to hear of Lorna’s passing. I have many lovely memories from when we lived opposite your family in McMaster St, our parents popping across the road to visit. My mum Gwen sneaking in and helping herself to a cuppa and some of Lorna’s delicious baking then leaving the rinsed cup on the bench so Lorna would know she’d been by. She was a great cyclist, I’m sure a familiar sight to many locals.
Sincere sympathy to you all as you mourn the passing of a fine lady

Deapest sympathy to all Lorna's family , she will be missed. Lorna was very helpful with the Norman family tree for which we are very thankful. Lorna and Wallace would call in to visit my parents whenever they were in Mosgiel. I remember going outside to see which vintage car he was driving.Lorna was always full of life and always very friendly. Sorry we could not be there but did watch livestream.
