I'm so sorry for your loss! Lora May was such a sweet lady. She will be sorely missed! We always enjoyed your family when she had her babies at Greene Memorial Hospital. I had the privilege of delivering her last baby, number 14, Leah! Leah was in a hurry to get here and didn't wait for Dr. Flores! My prayers are with you all at this difficult time!
