Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I just want to express my sincere condolences for the family and relatives and all the friends of the late Lorna Norn who perished in a house fire in Fort Smith earlier this week.
Lorna leaves behind three small children ranging from ages two to 10. Lorna is the daughter of Leona Poitras from Deninu Kue and was raised by Bill and Terra Norn of Deninu Kue.
Mr. Speaker, our prayers go out to these family members who all came together to raise an outgoing, very vibrant and well liked, and a very family oriented northern mother who was keen on providing the best for her family, but sadly her dreams and aspirations were shortened by this tragic event; an event which will not be easily forgotten by residents, by northerners, friends and especially family members from all over Tu Nedhe who knew Lorna.
Lorna will always be remembered through her children, and I ask the Creator to watch over them and ask that the many family members and friends of Lorna to take care of her children, which I'm sure will happen, and ensure that her children are always reminded of the wonderful person that their mother was to all the people that knew her. God bless her and her kids. Mahsi, Mr. Speaker.
