I took care of Mrs. Cori during her stay at the hospital. To say I grew close to her and her husband, would be an understatement. I have rarely encountered such guinely kind-hearted people. Mrs. Cori taught me many things throughout my several encounters with her; I will never forget how to say Ropinirole. I am deeply saddened to find that Mrs. Cori has passed, but I know she is in a far better place then this world could ever be. I will be sending a multitude of prayers up for her husband and the rest of her family from here on out.

Corie, A loving heart, a smile that wouldn't quit, her warm and very caring gift she offered up to everyone she knew. As far as a Grandmother, she gave of herself endlessly. She had a special "aura" about her, one that made you feel safe, loved, accepting,and the list goes on And on and on. To say we will "all miss her" is such a very gross understatement. When you loose someone in such a tragic way it's so very difficult to move on to "acceptance ". I will cherish her memory by speaking of her loving ways to my Great-Niece and my 3 Great Boys (nephews). I know the pain of great loss and grieving , it only goes forward at a pace that each person is comfortable with. Her grandchildren will miss her every day. It is all about "time" and the Greater the love ❤️ the Greater the pain. I have been honored and privileged to have known Corie (a nurse like me). My heart is VERY HEAvy now for myself, I will miss her. It will be unimaginable the pain I know her family is feeling now. But with a Strong faith and belief in God, will offer solace in these very sad times Donna E Webster Tasha and Ryan's Auntie. (DEW)

When I think of Mrs. Fordice, several things come to mind - all of which bring a smile to my face, to the surprise of no one. 1 - She truly was like a second mom to me. Growing up, I spent countless days/nights over at the Fordices' house, and she always treated me as if I were her child. During our younger days (because we were "way too cool" for this in high school), she would tuck Tyler and me in at night. Those memories have always stuck with me through the years. 2 - She made some of the best, and most unique food that I've ever tasted. Chief among the dishes that stick out in my mind is her fried chicken - quite honestly the best I've ever had (and undoubtedly much healthier than your average fried chicken). I had never tasted any even remotely like hers before, and I never have since. She truly could have opened a restaurant with that as the staple dish. And chocolate cake. It sounds basic, but was anything but that. I know Tyler remembers what it's called - every time she made it, she would send some home with him to give to me. That was one surefire way to get me to come over :-). 3 - Her soft-spoken voice. Tyler and I were inseparable from the time we were 10 years old all the way through college, and I never once heard her raise her voice, which leads me to my next memory: 4 - Her kindness and graciousness. I could write for days listing specific examples of her kindness/graciousness, as everyone else who knew her undoubtedly could. She was truly the kindest and most gracious person I've ever known. 5 - In 4th grade, our class took a field trip to the Huntsville Space Museum. Tyler and I rode with Mrs. Fordice and my mom. During the trip back to Chattanooga, I was worried we weren't going to get back in time for a baseball game, and was acting like a brat. I remember Mrs. Fordice (repeatedly) reassuring me that we would get back in time (she was right), and how gracious she was in tolerating my bratty behavior (my mom made sure I was aware of that, as well!). 6 - Her desire to give children an excellent, quality life when they otherwise probably would not have had such. As most/everyone knows, Mr. and Mrs. Fordice adopted three children - Shelley, Tyler, and Tasha. Throughout the vast majority of my childhood, and continuing into adulthood, I personally witnessed her loving them as much as any mother could her children. I never viewed it from this perspective while growing up, but it truly was a beautiful thing to be fortunate enough to witness. 7 - The Christian example she set. She truly "walked the walk". She was a prime example of how a Christian should conduct themselves, both on a daily basis and in general. She has impacted my life in more ways than I can count - directly and indirectly - and I will be forever thankful. I always smile when I think of her. To that point (and I never realized this until I saw the picture of her on the obituary), whenever I think of her, the image I get in my mind is of her smiling - always, always, always smiling. Her smile is beautiful, and is a perfectly reflection of the person she was and is. We are all better people for having had the honor of knowing Mrs. Fordice. My love, thoughts, and prayers are with her entire family. Heaven has a new Angel, and many new recipes!

- [ ] My sincere condolences to family and friends. May you find comfort in your loving memories, and in God's promise to soon "swallow up death forever" and "wipe away the tears from all faces." (Isaiah 25;8) Rev 21:4 “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” To find more comforting scriptures visit www.jw.org.

Three and a half months ago, Heather and I were in the NICU unexpectedly after the birth of our son, Albert. It was such a relief to see my old childhood friend, Cori, while we were there. It really eased the time we spend in the hospital. I just realized today that my family ended up in Chattanooga largely because the Fordices blazed the trail! What a blessing Cori has been in my life!
