My wife and I have felt that Lora was like a second mother to us. Her kindness and unconditional love was always manifested to us.
What a great and noble woman! We will always remember her--and we will miss her wit and wisdom. Our deepest condolences to the Cummins family and to all who grieve her departure. We look forward to one day enjoying her company again!
