I just learned of Cordia's home-going, last Wednesday in the neighborhood letters. I had no prior knowledge and wasn't sure until today. We go a long way when the WPAFB Gospel Choir began. I know she is resting and is in God's hands. My prayers are with Min. Jones, children and grands. God will supply all our needs, according to His riches in Glory.

So sorry to hear the news...worked with Cordia several years ago and thoroughly enjoyed being around her...she was one of the fun and funniest people to be with...I will always remember her sense of humor, her laugh, her direct way of getting her point across and "The Look"...she will be missed!!
Saw this message on a sympathy card many years ago and always remembered/found it profound...hope "it helps" as it has helped me over the years:
