The obituary notice of Lorna Priscilla BONNING

Hey Lorna,


It’s been a hard few weeks.

I finally accepted help, I realised that what Luke was doing to me was wrong and we left, me and oakleigh. We got to keep the house, although things got worse once we left.

We have a court date on the 15th to try and keep him away from us, it turns out everyone else was right all along and I was just blind to it all, I thought it was normal.

I’ve started seeing a lad named Tom. We’ve been friends for like 11 months now. I met him when we moved to Stratford. Apparently all of our mutual friends saw us ending up together. I didn’t. But he’s great. He’s so different to what I’m used to. He doesn’t shout, he wants to spend time with me, he buys me flowers and treats me and oakleigh to breakfast dates before work. I’m worried it’s all going too fast but it feels so natural to be around him.

Oakleighs 18 months now. She’s a right madam. Oh how I’d wish you’d have met her, you’d have loved her.

I saw Tillie and Lexi for Christmas. Ryan bought them over with his new Mrs, Nikki, she seems lovely. Ryan looks happy, wich is nice after all that’s gone on. The girls are still living with him. I’m trying to avoid anything to do with that situation cuz I just can’t be bothered to be in the middles of it right now.

I stopped therapy because Luke wouldn’t let me go but toms told me to get back into it, I have my second first session next Wednesday.

I miss you, and Christmas has been hard as always knowing neither of you are around. It’s was definitely lonely this year.

I love you, speak to you soon Lorna

Love Bella

Hey Lorna, been a while …


Things have been.. strange …
Oakleighs doing well! She’s 15 months now so almost ten months since my last update. Me and Luke are still going strong, we have our moments but we’re doing good.

Tillie and Lexi are currently living with Ryan. Everything kinda went downhill there, they’re happy but I just wish everyone could get along so it wouldn’t be so difficult to make everyone happy.

I’m 20 in less than a month how mad is that! It’s been 5 years since you passed and David’s with you now, I hope you’re both up there together with Robbie watching us all.

I’ve been having a lot of health problems recently, I’ve got to have a heart scan and a lung ct cuz I’ve not been breathing too well and my joints are getting worse so I’m having to see a rheumatologist to see what the crack is🤣

I’ve also started therapy! Obviously I’ve been struggling a few years keep nose diving into a hole that’s getting harder to get out of each time. And there’s a lot of things from growing up that I’ve never healed from so I’m hoping therapy will help me forgive and heal so I can be a better person for Oakleigh, Tillie and Lexi.

Me and Luke got our own house too! In Stratford now, it’s a lovely little 2 bed with a huge garden. And the new town is really quiet and quaint. I think you would’ve liked it to be honest. It’s got a lot of charity shops I know you liked them, oh and a huge brick-a -brack shop that’s goes back like 6 different rooms all piled high with loads of stuff.

Well I’ll talk to you again soon, I promise more often than I have been. I love you and miss you everyday.
Until we meet again

Lots of love Bella xx

Hi Lorna, so baby’s here. It’s been a whole rollercoaster of months. We’ve named her Oakleigh-Rae, she was 6lb 10 oz. Born 21/07/2024 at 5:15pm. I was in hospital for 5 days before she arrived. I was so poorly I couldn’t keep any food down. But I laboured for 49 mins in total on gas and air. She’s 5 months on the 21st now, her first Christmas is coming up fast, plus we may be moving soon! Back to bromsgrove. I love you so much. I really miss you.
I just want to be happy, Lorna I want everyone to get along and be happy. You used to keep everyone together, the glue to the family and now it’s finally fell apart. I miss you xx

It’s been four years today Lorna. Baby’s due in 5 weeks can you believe it! I wish you were here for her to meet you. I’m getting my very own home too we’re still renting but saving up to buy. I miss and love you so much. Hope your watching me from above proud xx

Happy belated birthday Lorna xx

Hi Lorna, it’s me again, I know it’s been a long time. So much has happened it mental. So I’m 16 weeks pregnant!! With Luke! Baby’s due in July so I’m starting to stress slightly. I’ve missed you, been thinking about you a lot recently actually. Been thinking of baby’s a girl to give it your name as a middle name. I’m finding pregnancy so hard been having a lot of trouble and hospital visits, I know you’ve been watching shaking your head thinking how silly I am overthinking things 🤣 I can’t wait for baby really it’s just scary.

I love you Lorna I’ll speak again soon I promise xx

Hey Lorna, happy birthday! You would have been 76 this year can you believe that. Me and mom are on better terms now, and I’m currently in a 5 month relationship can you believe. He’s still a little bit older than me but I love him so much. Tillie is really into football now and Lexi loves messy things 😭, mom really likes Luke and me and alfie are actually getting along now. I’ve started a new job, resturaunt manager at a high end hotel, so that’s good. I also went on my first night away with Luke we went to Liverpool and went to see a comedy show I’m into at the moment it was rlly fun. and I’m totally planning on getting my own place as soon as I turn 18. I’m getting a flat with luke. And I’m gonna make a life for myself. Just how we all envisioned. I’m gonna make you proud of me Lorna. I’m gonna make you so proud of me I jus wish you was here to see it.
