  1. Most sincere condolences in the loss of your Mum. All those years of working at Whitehead Lane, and the continued contact with Lorna were looked forward to. We always had a catch up at “Arts in the Park” and although a very quiet lady she was happy to share updates of her life and family.

    To All members of the Garnett family,
    My thoughts are with you all in your sad loss, it was my pleasure to visit Lorna when she resided in Annie Brydon Village, she was a great lady who has lived to a wonderful age, you all will have had some wonderful times together over the years & great memories to look back on. I can remember when we were neighbours at Whitehead Lane and baby sitting the children when I was young & your parents bought me a tin of mackintoshes for doing that, I thought that was amazing at the time as did not see many sweets.
    Thinking of you all,
    Heather Alderton
