So sorry to hear about Lera. I had a working relationship with her at the Arkansas Baptist State Convention for many years. I considered her a friend.

Lera was a sweet lady who always offered words of encouragement to others. I appreciate the help the neices & nephews gave her when she was no longer able to do it for herself. May fond memories help bring you comfort in your time of sorrow.
