In loving memory. My mind went back to the very last time we saw Loria in the office at Piggly Wiggly, and my husband joked with her by calling her a traitor. You laughed and smiled, as usual, and says I'm happy and I like my job. We had no idea that would be our last time speaking. Time is filled with swift transition. Prayers going forward for all your loved ones. So long Loria.
Sorry for you loss. Thanks for sharing Loria with the class of 82. She was a very sweet person with a great smile. I spent many high school days with her in Vocational school, where we were learning to be great administrators. I think Loria had the patience of Job. Patience is a gift from God.
