"Sonja and Family, My deepest sympathy to you. Those we love remain with us for love itself lives on, and cherished memories never fade because a loved one?s gone.

"I will echo my cousin Steve's tribute to an amazing beloved Lorna as I was one "crying a few tears at the end of 2019." With distance separating us, it was always a joy to talk with her as she renewed connections with 'home.' She will be missed by so many including her loving family. Thinking of all of you. "
