I'm very sad to hear of Aunt Zora's passing. I like to think that she was greeted by so many loved ones when she arrived in Heaven that it took days to say hello to them all. My Aunt Zora was beautiful and kind, loving and patient. She had sparkling eyes and was always warm and welcoming. When we would land in Tennessee for a visit, I couldn't wait to run up the hill to see Aunt Zora and Uncle Rip. Their house always smelled delicious - like the incredible meal that Aunt Zora was preparing. I loved being their little "Half Pint" and they would tease me that I was really their child, because they paid for my birth. Many years later when I tried to pay Aunt Zora for my birth, she told me that she would rather have me than all the money in the world. She was one-of-a-kind and I love her. I will miss her so.
