Dear Murrell,
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this time of great loss. What a wonderful lady your mother must have been.

I will truly remember our "Momma Ora". She was an educator until the end, and taught me about seeing the light - the internal drive to always do what is right.

With sincere gratitude and respect,we truly honor this Beautil Woman of God. Having the pleasure of performing a private concert just for her was something I will always treasure in my heart.Her smile was unforgettabe. Much love and prayers to the family,Danieland Sybil Winans

Mrs. Higgins was unwavering as she served God and so many people. We are thankful for this trailblazer who gave back to her community with love and honor. The Finch Family

To the Family of Sis. Ora Higgins, May God give you peace and comfort at this time. You were blessed to have her for 101 years. Think and treasure the good times and the wisdom she instilled in you.

Thank you for all the help you gave my son, Aaron through your Foundation. My late grandfather (Jessie L Cotton)was an avid friend and donor to the Ora Higgins Foundations. May your soul rest in Peace. Joyce Odom - Chicago, IL

There has been a great loss, but the memories of this fine woman will help to fill the void left in the hearts of those who knew and loved her. May God help you in your time of loss and sorrow.

Thank you Ms. Higgins for instilling in me the work ethics you gave me many years ago with my first job at Spiegels which I maintained and taught my children the same. God Bless
