It's so hard to find words that express how we feel or words that will comfort or fill the void when we lose a loved one. Comfort comes in knowing Cora is gone to see the King, and her days of suffering here on earth are over. My sympathy and condolences to Cora's children and grandchildren and my many other cousins.

You have my deepest sympathy. Your mother was a wonderful and cheerful person. I did not realize your mother was born two months after my mother, what a wonderful year God decided to send some beautiful individuals to earth as a loaner in our lives. The Lord will continue to bless you all each and every day. Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel watching over you all. I am praying for your strength in the Lord. Keep her memory and love in your heart always, because a beautiful person has been picked and sent home to be with her father (Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ). Love…Freddie Roberts and family….732-500-3228…

To Ms. Pope
You have my deepest sympathy. Your mother was a wonderful and cheerful person to talk with. I have really enjoyed all my phone calls with her.
My last talk with her was last week when she was planning her birthday party. She wanted me to come. She was so happy and excited. She was able to contact all her family and friends she wanted to invite. But that same night, the Lord had planned a home going celebration for her. I know she is having even much more fun at that party. I will miss her dearly. Oh what a wonderful person she was. The Lord will continue to bless you and your family at this time. She will be greatly missed. Remember, Mama is just away.
