It is with heavy hearts we sadly say goodbye to our mom and friend. She left us all with laughter in our hearts and knowing the full meaning of unconditional love. The sparkle in her eyes and her courage and strength to overcome all adversity throughout her life made her enduring to all the lives she touched. Besides her family and friends, her other loves were the Montreal Canadians, the Toronto Blue Jays, playing bingo and going to the casino.
The family extends a special thankyou to the caregivers and staff of the Chinook Regional Hospital.
With the honoring of Lorna's "Trudy's" wishes a celebration of life will be announced at a later date.

We always enjoyed talking to Trudy....She was a beautiful person and always welcoming. God bless you all.
Dear Jimm, Tracy, Michael & Clifford, Just sending our sincere condolences to all of you in the loss of your mom. We got together yesterday at Heidi's with Aunt Liz and several other cousins and shared stories and reminisced about the shinanigans that used to go on at Gramma Day's house in Chipman. Lots of funny stories with all those sisters and brothers plus the extended family that always hung out there. I guess they were definitely what the Day siblings would have described as "the good old days". May the good memories you hold of your mom help you get through this difficult time. Take care.
