My sweet and gentle Cora. May God accept you into eternal rest. You were my back-bone, friend, and a true grandmother to my three children. You always made sure they had what they needed. Your cheese straws should have been patented in the Union Springs Public Library. I think I can make them now even though you kept the recipe a secret. If anyone deserves a heavenly reward, it is you. Thank you, my sister in love forthe assistance you provided me while I lived in my hometown. Rest well for you have paid your Earthly dues and your crown awaits you. I hope I will see you again one day and I can walk with you in treating others with the kindness, compassion and respect one deserve. We love you and want your family to know what a wonderful person she was. But they too know what a gift you were to the family. Always in our hearts, Respectfully, Idella Johnson, Thomisha Fitzpatrick Richardson, Norchez Fitzpatrick, Herron Johnson Glaze,(grandchildren) Navae Richardson and Norquela Fitzpatrick. I will miss you forever my star.
Thank you for the confidence and kindness you have displayed by selecting us as your professional services provider. It is an honor to serve and support you. The Staff and Management of Carter Funeral Home
