I have such fond memories of wonderful times with our families together sharing a meal, and always laughter. It always felt like home.

I shall miss Cora's laugh, stories and the cuppa tea she would make for me.

She was one of a kind.

Aunt Cora was a special woman. She taught me many things during her visits to Kentucky each year, how to knit, crochet, and bake! I loved hearing her talk and seeing the special relationship she and my Mamaw had. They were truly best friends. It was a privileged to have known her and I know she is now resting I. The arms of the angels. May she rest in eternal Peace. My thoughts and prayers are with all my family in Canada. May God bless all of you.
