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.
