I wish that the family never forget Aunt Cora’s legacy. I will pray that in her absence the family will grow stronger. I was never fortunate enough to know her but from all the great things heard about her from my brother and cousin she was the rock of the family God has gained an angel rest in peace with love your niece Tawana
May fond memories of Cora bring you comfort during this hard time in your life. Look back on all the good memories you were able to have and smile at the fact that you were able to share these before she passed away. My hearts and prayers go out to you and your family. God has promised us that we will soon be reunited with our loved ones. “There is going to be a resurrection,” the Bible confirms at Acts 24:15. “Do not be amazed at this,” Jesus assures us, “for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.” (John 5:28, 29)
