I knew Cora much better when I was younger as her older sister was probably one of my best friends - was at their place more than mine (I think) - I am so sorry to hear about Cora - saw her about a year ago and everything seemed fine at the time so was quite surprised to hear about her. I'm sorry we will not be able to attend as we have other commitments and will be out of town. My deepest condolences to all her family including her siblings etc. - Posted by: Annette West (Cousin) on: Jul 15, 2018

We have been friends for 50 years - so many good memories, so many good card games - so many good chats. To the family, remember only the good times, Cora was a very giving person and I miss her so much already. This is going to be a real struggle to get over - only time will heal the pain. I can't even imagine how hard this Is for you Gerry, but you will have to be strong - in time the pain will leave and the memories will always be there. Rest in peace my friend and God bless. - Posted by: Ray and Pauline Bodnarchuk (Friends) on: Jul 14, 2018
