Lorna, we shared much over the last years, mothers club, swimming pool committee, fire Brigade, along the way we became good friends.
The kettle was always on when I often called, the never ending supply of slices was unreal. You were a true friend in so many ways.
I will always remember the times spent. With love and sympathy to the family.
Sorry I can’t be with you on Thursday, but I will be with you all the same.

A truly lovely lady. Devoted wife, mum and nanna. Thinking of you all at this time.
Mrs Bulter and my dear Auntie Dot were friends and neighbours for many years.
The daily phone calls and conversations about their gardens will continue in heaven.
Love to you all
Lee, Brad and family.
I’m glad I met Lorna. Didn’t know her for long but in the short time I did she always greeted me with a smile and she had a good sense of humour.
Loved her cakes and slices, and I hear she was a good cook.
Lovely to have met you and your family Lorna.
Rest easy.
Bron and Maureen (Arcare)
Fond memories of a lovely lady. A long time neighbour fondly missed.
From Joyce and Charlie Womersley (both Dec) and the whole Briscoe family.
Dear Lorna, such a lovely lady, always made us feel so so welcome, just an extra piece of the Butler family, an an instant rapport.
Our heartfelt sympathy to all the family, especially Karys, Rosemary, Janice and Wendy.
Our thoughts are with you.
