Cordella was such a sweet soul. Always kind and soft spoken. I'm so sorry that after all her years of hard work she did not have time to enjoy her retirement. But now her spirit has returned back to her heavenly father and there she will rest in his book of remembrance.

To the family of Ms. Cordella: I had the privilege of knowing her these past seven years I've worked at the Health Center.

My heart is broken and saddened by my cousin departure. I am so glad that I had the opportunity to not only work with her but to love her for mentorship she gave me. In some of my darkest times in my life she gave me advice that I needed and she didn't judge. Although I will miss Cordella but I know she is at peace and at rest, no more pain. I offer my condolences to Denise and the family. I will continue to keep the family in prayer.
