Lorna was born on the family farm on the third line of Erin Township. This is where her love for family, farming, baking, sewing, crafting, painting, and gardening all began. Mom is the HEART of our family. Some of our treasured memories of mom/ (great) grandma are her bottomless cookie jar, handmade Christmas ornaments, big family meals and gatherings. Mom’s favorite things in life was having the family together at the home, whether it be working together or having a good time. Sending a special thank you to Dr. G.
