To Brian and Joanne and Family,
I was sorry to hear that my friend Lorene has passed away. She has been on my mind all these past months and i was wishing that I could visit with her.My last visit was February,2020 just before covid came..
Lorene so enjoyed working at the Brigden Fairgrounds and she was instrumental in many of the improvements and especially in the catering that we have tried to carry on with. She was a hard worker, a great cook,served as President of MAS, and served as Secretary-Treasurer of Homecraft for many years.
When Lorene had to give up her duties at the fairgrounds because of her health, she always said ” I wish i could still be there”
I know that Lorene is at peace now. She has been ready to meet her heavenly Father and her loved ones for some time.
“Well done thou good and faithful servant.”
My sympathy to you all.
