Aunt Ora was like a 2nd mom to me. I will cherish the many memories I have with her from swimming in the pool, her comforting me when I was homesick at her house, our family trip to Maine and especially her drawing my face with her finger when I was a little girl. She will be missed by all who were blessed to have had her in their life , but will remain in our hearts forever. Now, she is at peace and with her family that passed before her. Our love and prayers are with you all.
