  12. Lorna,

    Remembering your beautiful presence, those who knew you were truly blessed. Those cattle sales meant shopping days and I loved your visits to the store. On earth and above may you radiate love on those you loved and those who forever love you.

    Thinking of all who’s hearts are broken.
