My deepest condolences.
Life is so short, it feels like only a few years have passed since our family moved in next door to the Kennedys.
Bruce, and Doug in particular, my heart hurts for your loss.
As kids, Lorna was one of the "little kids", so I never knew her as well as you two and your brothers.
My prayers for your families as you remember your sister.

Our deepest condolences to the Kennedy Family, who is my second family. I spent more time with Lorna then I did with my own brother most days. She will be missed. Please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers.

We are so sorry to hear of Lorna's passing. Our family came to know Lorna during our once weekly visits to Paesano's. Our son Jack was just a toddler at the time and he and Lorna hit it off instantly! She was always so happy to see him and he was so happy to see her! Once she even took him into the kitchen to see where the pizzas were made. He thought that was AMAZING! In fact he still calls Paesano's "Lorna's Pizza" and he is in high school now. Lots of good Friday night memories!
Our family wishes you all peace and comfort during this time.
De Meyer and Hohl family
