Tee-Cora you will be greatly missed. Your door was always open for all to come and fellowship. You was always available to give advice and show love. The strength you showed me while encouraging me and uplifting me while you were fighting is a characteristic that is unmatched. I think God for you and you have done an amazing job with your family. May God send a comforter to console your daughters and grandchildren. I love you all and so does Jesus.
