Aunt Cora, I miss you dearly. You were the last Aunt that was left. Mama (Nettie Whigham), your last sister passed right after you. My family, please know that my prayers are with all of us. They are in a better place. God Bless all of you.

To my grandmother. How I am going to miss you. I remember when I was young you would say give me some eye sugar. I am so glad God allowed you almost 100 years on this earth. I love you.
