God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I worked with Lora at Meyers years ago. She was the kindest most patient caregiver I have ever known. We stayed in touch over the last 7-8 years and we would talk about every three months, and pick up right where we left off. She had a beautiful soul and brought joy humor and comfort to anyone who knew her. I am heartbroken that such a shining light is gone. Rest in peace Lora , I LOVE YOU. Diane Dobbins
