John, I was so sorry to hear of Cora's passing. She was a very special lady to me and she always reminded me of what my family meant to her. I so thoroughly enjoyed our visits in recent years when I would come home. I will always carry that enjoyment with me. Hope to see you if or when I travel that way. With Love, Ruth Ann and Bill Lively, Cleveland, GA

Thank you, Mrs. Oana, for being my third grade teacher and for singing 'My Country 'Tiz of Thee' with us, after saying the Pledge of Allegiance with us each morning.

Aunt Cora you were a great inspiration to me and I appreciate everything you did for me when I was in grade school. You will be sadly missed as I have now lost another great teacher from Reilly Elementary. Love you uncle John
