Poem for
Lorna Best nee Howard



Lorna Howard-Best

 

Lorna knows of hard work and social gatherings galore

As a pioneer child it was a special treat to go to the store.

As the eldest daughter of Ezra and Olive she matured well

The countryside folk could see the beauty within her dwell.

 

Lorna is a special kind of girl they would all ponder and sigh

Her body, mind and soul is coupled with faith from on high

Challenges strengthened Lorna’s confidence and courage

Forgive others and learn from adversity- she does encourage.

 

Four sons born- her children are her treasures from above

Her family and many friends all remember her with love

Lorna is a lady with remarkable resilience and strength

Who will always be cherished for her “grit” so immense.

 

Congratulations on a life well lived with memories to share

Her tenacity and bravery- a deserved badge she must wear

Lorna has the strength of a lion and softness of a dove

May she always be showered with camaraderie and love.
