I just found out about Lorna's passing and was very sad to hear the news. I met Lorna at Mulvaney's and went out to dinner every so often and shared our food together. Her wonderful smile and laugh was so infectious and I will miss her dearly.

We met Lorna in 1993 at the Wagon Wheel country western dance club. We found we had much in common with her besides country western music and line dancing.
We loved John Wayne and anything that had to do with him. We both collected John Wayne Plates from the Bradford exchange. Our favorite movie was She wore a yellow ribbon. Lorna brought happiness to all who knew her.
