We were so surprised to hear about Cork. I (Ramona) have so many memories as a kid visiting in Tyrone and being with him and Gary, Vickie, Uncle Sonny and Aunt Adair. Liked the times at Grandma and Grandpap´s with him and family. As adults was fun to see him at reunions and get togethers even those were few. Was happy he knew the Lord and even though we all will miss him, I picture him in heaven having a reunion with family. Will continue to pray that family left behind will have daily strength and that they too will join that heavenly reunion someday.
