Dearest Dionne and Family,
Ms. Cora was a loving, funny, warm, and genuine woman. Each time I was in her presence, the moment was met with a calm smile and an attitude of gratitude regardless of the circumstance. She will be greatly missed. Rest assured that she will be there to guide your steps and greet you in the kingdom.
Dionne, you two exemplified the mother/daughter bond. I have learned a great deal as I watched you and your mom enjoy and support each other. You are a beautiful soul and I pray for your comfort during this difficult time. I am here for ANYTHING. Love you Sissy.
