Not sure what to say?

I was very sad to hear of Cora's passing. She was such an inspiration to me as an artist and person. I loved her trips to England and will never forget how on my first trip she drove me to the train station in Cheltenham so I could leave the group for a couple of days and visit my grandmother's hometown. And I remember her Aunt Jesse who went to England with us. Riding home from a day of painting in Devon, across the dark Dartmoor and Jesse began to sing "How Great Thou Art" I get chills to...

Cora was a delight,a wonderful member of our church. We were so grateful when she would visit us after she moved away. I have a painting of hers which I treasure. I miss her.

Cora was indeed a wonderful artist and force at the Torpedo Factory. In 1991 I had the pleasure of being on a painting trip with her leadership in the Cornwall area of England. She was a gracious hostess and generous helper. I am sorry for her family's loss.

Some 30 years ago Cora was my art teacher and introduced me to The Art League which had a major impact on my life. She also guided me and many other artists throughout England via multiple Art League sponsored tours. She was a marvelous woman, teacher and role model. I am honored to own her beautiful artwork. She will be widely missed. My condolences to her husband and children.

Cora was a lovely member of our church in Alexandria. She sometimes substituted in the Sunday School so my children and grandchildren also remember her fondly. At Easter when we saw her at church in Hilton Head, we had no idea that would be the last time. We had stopped in at the gallery to see her art, and she was enjoying the visit of her grandsons. We will miss her. Elaine & Chas Harrison

Dear family of Cora. I loved Cora as one of my best friends at church and we always stopped to talk and to catch up about family or our prayerful insights. I will always remember her wonderful, inspiring testimonies on Wednesday evening. When she stood up to speak, I always anticipated them. Throughout our church her tasteful touch, of coordinated, lovely colors and fabrics, is everywhere. We are so fortunate to have had her among us for so long and she leaves behind many good friends and...

Bill,
Condolences.

I admired Cora and her wonderful art work - I have her work in my collection. I am so sorry that she has passed; she will be missed by many of us at the TFAC. Blessings on her family.
