Dear Mr. Duncan, Donna & Brothers; This note is from K. Sabrina (Largin) Wheatley ([email protected]). Yes, it has been many years since I have been in touch with your family....but I read of Cora's passing and wanted you to know that you have been on my mind and in my prayers. I have such fond memories of Cora, working at our elementary school (and couldn't believe it when I read the number of yrs she eventually spent giving of herself in that way), and of spending time with Donna and your family. I am so sad for your loss, but have to share that the thought of Cora, and her gentle and patient ways, are very clear in my mind and still make me smile, even after all of these years. We lost touch at some point, but I do remember running into Cora and Jack, one time years ago at St. Joseph's Hospital near the elevator and I would have known them anywhere. She was such a kind person, and I feel blessed to have known her, and to have spent time with your family. I pray that your happy memories of the beautiful person that she was, bring you peace; and may God blessings and grace be with you and your family in the days and months ahead, as you adjust to life without her....but with memories that will never leave you. With warmest regards, Sabrina (-:
