Monica, Maureen, Melissa, and Micah: I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. I really grew to love and respect her during my Majestic Chorale Ensemble days. God bless, comfort, and keep you all.

Dear Monica, Maureen, Melissa and Micah,
God blessed us al with a wonderful "Ma" -- you in life, me in the office -- and we will all miss her very much. However, we have happy memories to sustain us.
Peace and blessings!

Monica, Maureen, Melissa, you have my deepest sympathy. I will always remember "Miss Ora" from childhood years. From an old friend and childhood neighbor, Lainy, Elaine Jackson (& Loisy). May the Lord watch over you during this difficult time.
