Lora Lynn Birkett

Birkett Family,
I did not have the pleasure to meet Lora. Although I feel in my heart that I know her thru Phil and Jan. Based on the heart to heart talks over the last year I know that Lora will be missed by many. May your heart find the peace and comfort in the knowledge that you are never alone. God is your stronghold! God is good and so is Lora- she has much work to do from heaven- one will be to watch over her family.
Peace be with you-

My thoughts and prayers are with Lora's family.

Dear Gary and Ben,

It was with great sorrow that we learned of "Mommie" Lora's passing. For as long as l've known her, she fought such a courageous battle with cancer. I will always remember her sweet disposition and gentle voice. I know the pain is great now, but, the blessing of her life will forever be with you.

Our hearts go out to you and your family.

To Gary & Ben -- all of your Cub Scout friends love & support you. We're all pulling for you. It's wonderful to see all these notes from people Lora touched. Though I only came to know her in the last year of her life, I will always remember her grace.

I had the pleasure of working with Lora from time to time and got to know her as a delightful, bright woman who dearly loved her family. My deepest condolences to her loved ones.

Gary and Ben...
May the Lord ease our pain during this difficult time. Please know that if we can help at all you can call on us.

Prayers and thoughts are with you and your son at this time.(Pine Grove UMC)
