It was always a joy to be in the company of this gracious, intelligent, well-versed woman. I would have loved to have known her and my dad as cousins growing up together...I can only imagine the stories. She was a dear friend and cousin to my Aunt Betty Green and will be missed.

Cora Louise was the epitomy of grace. My two visits with her when her cousin Betty Jane Green brought her to have Thanksgiving with us were two experiences I will never forget. What a glorious, blessed life she led and it should be celebrated.

We moved back to Texas the same year as Cora Louise and enjoyed several family occasions with her. She was my dad's first cousin and always added a real sparkle with her upbeat personality.
