From the moment I moved to the neighborhood after marrying Richard, Lora was kind, welcoming, and always had a good story to share. She was a blessing to me and to both of my girls, and she always had a kind word for them as wells they don’t make women like her anymore, and I’m
Proud to have called her my friend and neighbor. She will be missed. Our deepest sympathy and prayers to all of the family.
