Dear Aunt Ora,s family,  We are so sorry to hear of Aunt Ora,s passing. We had planned to come over and visit in Sept. but I got sick and was diagnosed with lung cancer.  Consequently I am now doing chemo and radiation every day in Wheeling , weather permitting.   She was a good aunt and we had a lot of fun together.  It gives me great comfort in knowing that she was a Christian and that we will all be together some day.    Love, Sylvia and family
