To the Family of Cora, deepest sympathy to all for your recent loss. The Bible indicates that God can help us to endure any challenge we may face (1 Corinthians 1:9). Oftentimes he may use family or friends who share the same pain to assist us. May you draw a measure of comfort from your loved ones and your Creator during this time (1Corinthians 1:3).

I would like to express my deepest sympathy to each of you. Death is an enemy that we have no controll over. Our heavenly Father however does. He will soon bring an end to this aged-old-enemy. He will swallow death up forever.

I met Cora 7 years ago at Mount Vernon Square, she always had a kind words for me. She'd always encourage me to step out of my comfort zone and become a leasing consultant, when I did she was very happy for me. Cora spent time with me in my new role as a leasing consultant, she would always say, "Venessa, you need to be at an "A" property and my response would be "really", Cora, "yea girl, you got it". She and I ran into each other just a week prior, and again she was encouraging me and giving me tips on how to sale . . . with tears. I will truly miss seeing her beautiful smile.

Cora, you were on my mind last week in the month of December 2017. I was shocked to find out after going to Facebook when I did a friend request it cancel. I decided to just go online and see if there was an obituary it was a beautiful picture. I was so saddened to find out that you had left us but God Knows Best. You were such a beautiful person inside and out. God bless you.. to her beautiful ladies you all had such a beautiful mother and she will alwas be in y'alls memory. Please know that your mother loves you both dearly, you were her world, God first and then her two beautiful daughters. Kimmy, I know she went extra miles for you because she knew you were in of her help and she knew that you wanted to be somebody in life so she moved to Georgia to spend time with you to see you through your educational years. Be the great women of God that she raised you all to be in loving memory of my friend Cora, Sister Rose from Alex, VA
