I’m deeply sad to learn of Cora’s passing. She was always such a good person, caring and worried about others.
But she is no longer in pain, is in another plateau waiting for her loved ones.
Tom, no doubt in my mind you will be at a loss without her, she dotted on you for everything. Lisa I know mom is
not next door anymore, you will find it difficult but will be there for Dad. Dawn, God Bless, you’re mom loved and fought for you. Penny, love you, and we’re very sorry for you’re loss, mom is a mom no matter what happens. Peggy, I know you weren’t close by, but you loved mom too. She was always a loving caring person, we always talked when we saw each other…. even after the fact. God Bless you all, remember God is there for you, just reach out. R.I.P. Cora, you were a very good person.
