My condolences to the passing of your sweet mother. I had a chance to perform occupational therapy with Cora last year. She was the sweetest woman I have ever known. I will forever remember her sweet smile, her Godly words, and wonderful stories. I love her so much.

I will sure miss visiting with her at Maple Esplanade. She was such a kind, sweet, loving person.

I will never forget Mrs Cora. She was an amazing woman of God, and one of the sweetest people I've ever met. She was one of the greatest prayer warriors I've known. Thank you for being part of my life Mrs Cora. I will see your beautiful smile again one day.

I never met a more pleasant, loving Christian woman than Ms. Cora. Met her when we went to church together at FBC and often worked with her in the prayer room at the medical mission clinic. She was a small woman with a great smile and a mighty heart for God. So sorry to hear of her passing, but I know she's better now than she's ever been. Condolences and prayers for the family.

Our thoughts and prayers have been with you this week and especially today. Our family loved Cora Jean and we have many fond memories of her over the many years. Her Mom Gladys and my Grandmother Montana were very close all their lives and that closeness was passed on through Cora Jean and George Roland and their children. We are very blessed to continue to have a close relationship with Alan & Mary, their children; George and his family; Roland and Sara and their children (although we have not been able to see them much over the past years). I am thinking of you all now while you are saying your goodbyes to Cora at this time while writing this message. Mom's thoughts are with you also the best they can be with her Alzheimer's disease - she loved Cora. I am sure Montana and Daddy were there to greet Cora in Heaven - they loved Cora. Hope to see all of you very soon. Love Margie, Jackie Ray and Jackie.
