My Grandmother Cora
Posted by taneya on March 27, 2006
Last week, I lost another member of my family. My grandmother Cora passed away and her funeral was Sunday. It was a beautiful service. She was 73 years old and had been getting progressively sicker over the past few months after having a stroke. Her funeral service was beautiful and I was so fortunate to be able to see family that I have not seen in years. She grew up in Craven County, NC, so while there I was able to revisit family homes, sites, etc and learn more about my family from relatives. I’ll blog more later, but after being there, I am ever more committed to maintaining/developing relationships with my family and learning more about the family history.
