    We are all very sorry to hear that Morna has passed away. What a lady – we thoroughly enjoyed it when Morna visited us in Wicklow, Ireland a number of years ago. Looking like a movie star in the photo! It’s never easy to say goodbye, and our thoughts are with you in this difficult time.

    So sorry to hear of the passing of Morna. She was known as ‘”the lady with the goats” until I was old enough to know her as Morna! What a wonderful women with a zest for life…..that was her secret to longevity! To all her family especially Tina who was the closest in age to me, our thoughts go out to everyone during this difficult time.
    Sincerely, The Schendera Family

    Morna welcomed me into her home, her life and her family, generously and without reservation.
    It’s an old Irish cliche but true in her case: “Her like will never be here again.”

    My condolences to the Mouritzen family. I am a friend of Chris and Maureen’s, I never had an opportunity to meet Morna, so I did not know her, but do know that she was loved and will not be forgotten. Take care of yourselves during this difficult time.
    Regards.
