Cora was such a lovely and kind hearted woman who loved unconditionally her beautiful family and her devoted husband and of course all her dear grand, great, and great great grandchildren. I found her to be the epitome of grace and kindness to all mankind. She was a Celestial person in every way. May she enjoy her reunion in heaven with all who went before her. Best, Sue

Oh how I love Cora! She called me `Abi darling´ and I called her `Cora dear´. I learned so much from her when I served as her counselor in Relief Society. She loved me and my little ones. I can´t say enough how much I love her. She will be so missed by all who love her. But what a joyous reunion with Roy. Our love and condolences to her family
