Lorna, you were my BFF, a friendship that spans back to 1954 when we were playmates living just across the alley from each other. I cherish our weekends at Amisk Lake when you had your lake lot there. Making beet rolls,watching movies and talking till the wee hrs of the morning. I am especially going to miss your B&B weekends when you came out to the farm. Thank you for the beautiful memories and Rest In Peace my friend!
My deepest condolences to the Balan and Bachynski families on the sudden loss of Lorna. May your memories bring you comfort and peace at this difficult time. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

My deepest sympathy to Bill and Alison. May your memories bring you peace. My memories of Lorna when I taught Alison in grade three are never forgotten. The classroom help she provided and what a great friend she became. She was always willing to give a helping hand whether on a field trip or for a hot dog sale. I will never forget her great friendship.
