Thank you family & friends of Lorna, for sharing such engaging stories yesterday. I learned so much more about her remarkable life. We met at Strathcona Park Lodge in the 80s, where we worked as outdoor leaders. Over several years we shared paddling, backpacking & back-country ski trips - Garibaldi Park, Stein River Valley, Cape Scott, the Rockies, Haida Gwaii, Chilkoot Trail & Yukon River were some highlights. Lorna was a competent outdoor person & inspiring naturalist. "Climb the mountains & get their good tidings. Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you, & the storms their energy. While cares will drop off like autumn leaves" - John Muir

Peter Kerr...Kelowna Thank you very much for sharing the moving memouries of Lorna including some of the very funny parts. I last saw her when 3 others and myself had supper outside with her in October at the Joe Rich Cabin. I hadn't seen her for a long time and it was so good to see her once more after so many years.

We first met Lorna when we gave her a lift to the blues festival in Bridgetown, about 100km south of us here in Bunbury, Western Australia, soon after she moved to Bunbury, and had wonderful and warm friendship with her the years she was here. Many the lively and stimulating evenings as we gathered the single friends we had here in Bunbury for a home cooked meal and stimulating company on a weekly basis. All would become firm friends with her over the few years Lorna was here and were shocked and sad when we heard the news of her cancer back there in Canada. We also visited her in Alice Springs a couple of times on our meanderings around Oz. Always welcoming and warm (no surprise there). The pics: with me (Kim) in our house, Bunbury; breakfast on her patio, Alice Springs; a view to the hills at her place, Alice, a massive contrast to your beautiful mountain log cabin there in Canada. Vale Lorna, with love from Kim and Dianne (Martin)

I am a limited (time -wise compared to family & long-time friends) friend of Lorna's from Kelowna and wondered how/when we met (because like so many of her friends it was like we were instant blood sisters...time had no barriers). I think it was a Kelowna Tools for Peace, Seeds for El Salvador or a demonstration. Or maybe it was Lorna's mother, Jean who was active in the NDP who lived nearby, Francis St, who connected us with Lorna. Anyway Lorna invited us (Peter Kerr, Peter Chataway, Karen Abramsen & me) up to the cabin in Oct. 2020 for a festive COVID safe evening. I will never forget this evening...outdoors, laughs, good food and wine and thinking that Lorna was amazing (full of cancer yet +ve spirit). She told us about going to Colin's heritage house in Sicamous, then buying food for the celeratory dinner and all her plans for the next day (visiting Norm in KGH) etc. Energy +++. Such a wonderful person, Lorna was....peace Pat ps Great Celebration of Lorna Walsh...thanks for organizing Walsh Family

Hello Y'all, emanating from diverse compass points, notably BC and 'down unda.' It was great to see so many (over 100) in attendance for tonight's (or this morning's) 'celebration of life'. I had to join the 'reunion' about 45 minutes late but, nevertheless, I hope to go browse back through later later to hear everyone's stories and reflections, especially from the first part which I may have missed, in every detail. I enjoyed the brief written synopsis too which I believe was delivered by my Uncle Bill (William), ex ante on the side, proclaiming and declaiming the outlines of the influential, if a bit-too-short lived, life of my Aunt(ie). I fully concur with testimonies heard today, about how Lorna touched people, reached out to them, in uncanny and unique and in sometimes difficult to define but...: undeniably distinctive and enduring ways. For me, as her nephew, inevitably and inescapably, I think of how she she encouraged and influenced me, her outspokenness, and- something that was remarked upon tonight too- her boldness-cum-fearlessness. She welcomed you, literally with open arms, disarmingly! She was truly a free spirit and, in one parlance, very much more of a giver (rather than a taker or a matcher)-hence her impact on our lives! She made you feel comfortable a lot by adapting herself. She 'set the agenda'-perhaps a tiny bit stubborn on occasions (being a human being) but, really, for me, in the final analysis, Lorna was a bold and a true leader, of whom we are to some extent 'the followers.' Thanks for all of your timely words which, tonight, captured well some essential Lorna. Now she is gone and missed- but I fully agree that this world, in any age, especially in our own, could use a great deal more Lorna-ness, and Lorna-ism! But could any individual really be quite like this?! Thanks for your great photographic and oral and musical contributions and for your organizing and organization...I have got a few stories of Lorna, of my own, but these will have to wait for another occasion for publication- and I truly hope I never forget them!...David Walsh, Feb 5 2021.
