Lennis, as you know, Lora was very dear to Harold and me. When we moved to Greensboro in the ‘60s, we were very young, and she and Clay took us under wing and showed us the way many times as we learned how to serve on the church staff at 16th Street. She was always so proud of you. You were, indeed, her daughter in spirit. Thank you for keeping me in touch with her during her last days. In my prayers as you adjust to life without her. Lovingly, Evelyn

My dear friend Lucy and I were blessed to get to know Miss Lora and some family members at Deerfield Ridge. Miss Lora was the best of roommates, and the "Social Maven" of their wing. I know she and Lucy are getting to know each other as fast friends now in heaven, where they are all-healed and their minds are clear. Each will show their loved ones the way, as they always did, when the time is right. Eternal joy grant them, Lord. Much love to Lennis and family.

What a great time we know Aunt Lora is having in Gloryland! She loved our Lord and was ready to go meet Him. It was such a blessing to talk to her. She didn't just make a profession she lived it. It is a great comfort to the whole family that we all know this about her and we have no doubt about where she is. Aunt Lora was a positive person and always found something nice to say in every situation. I never heard her raise her voice or be ugly to anyone she was truly a kind person. What a blessing to show the fruit of the Spirit in her daily life! I love her and miss her.
Aunt Lora was a wonderful role model to young ladies. She was such a proper lady and always looked her best. She was beautiful inside and out. My aunt Lennis is a lot like Aunt Lora in so many wonderful ways. I am so honored to be related to these great ladies.
When dementia started robbing Aunt Lora of her memory and she couldn't remember our names she would still smile and chat with us in her pleasant little way. She might have forgotten names and places but she never forgot who Jesus is! She remembered the words to hymns and loved to sing them.
We will miss her but we know it will be a short time before we will see her again. If you are reading this and you don't know Jesus as your Saviour you won't see Aunt Lora again, but it is not too late for you. The Bible says "That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation." Romans 10:9-10
I know Aunt Lora would want me to share that with you.

As a child growing up in 16th Street Baptist Church, I remember Lora and Clay as very close family friends who always treated my sister and I like we were their own -- a memory share, I am sure, by others in our church group. Lora continued to be a close friend to my mother, Elois Brown, after my dad and Clay were both gone, and I would hear keep up a bit with news my mother shared. Lora will be missed by many but so much of her life's work and purpose remains as evidence of the difference she made.

Lora and Clay shared many enjoyable times with Pat and myself both working in 16th Street Baptist Church and socializing in our homes. These memories are vivid and cherished. While health issues in recent years prohibited us from staying in contact, prior to these issues Lora and I continuously shared our joys and sorrows in a close friendship even after she left Greensboro. Perhaps the fact that the difference in our ages was only 3 weeks contributed to the many shared experiences and perspectives. I greatly miss Lora and know she is with the Lord. My heartfelt condolences go out to her family.

I knew Lora and Clay through 16th St Baptist Church. Lora and Clay diligently served Jesus Christ their Lord, Lora in the choir and many other areas. She always enjoyed decorating her home for Christmas and it was fun to be in their home. Lora loved her family and frequently I heard her speak of Lennis and her love for her and other members of her family. I recall she was working for Dr. Sikes when her mother had cancer and I spent an afternoon with the mother so Lora could get some work completed in her office. Some ten years ago two other ladies and myself visited Lora as she was in the early stage of dementia and she kept saying "if I had known you were coming I would have dressed much better"; she was always a prim and proper lady. My thoughts and prayers are with each member of her family.

Growing up in Greensboro my brothers and I spent a lot of time building memories with uncle Clay and aunt Lora at the farm Clay worked on for Dr. Sikes. Aunt Lora was always prim and proper and Clay was always up to something. Recently my daughters gave me this red letter New Testament edition that their mom had found that was from Aunt Lora. I’ll cherish it even more now and look at it often to read the message she had for me.

I have fond memories of Aunt Lora! growing up in Greensboro and as a young child remember the attention and love she gave to all of us. My dad Floyd was her brother and when he passed she was always there willing to help. she worked for Dr. Sikes and was helpful in getting us in to see him even though we did not want to go but she made it easy just because of her being so soft spoken and caring. I always look for one hair out of place but never saw one. She always dressed to the 9,s and looked so classy. thanks to Lennis for being there for her and I know she spent countless hours caring for her. She will be missed but no doubt she is in a better place and no more suffering.

I met Lora when I was a student at App. I was visiting Brushy Fork with my grandparents. We started talking with her & found out we knew some of the same people from Greensboro. We became instant friends & she became like a grandma to me. I cherish my memories if her & am thankful to Lennis for continuing to keep me updated.

To the family of Lora & Clay. I grew up at 16th Street Baptist Church, Greensboro where Lora and Clay were very active and lived out their Faith serving in ministries. I do remember Ms Lora always helping when there was a fellowship or meal of any kind. And as a little boy facinated that Mr Clay drove a big tractor. So blessed by both of them as they reflected Christ in all they did. Praying for you all as the emptiness and Lisa surely are great.

Aunt Lora was a very special aunt and there are so many memories of her and Uncle Clay from visiting them as a small child when they lived on the Sikes farm to later visiting them on Oberlin Drive. There are so many memories, too numerous to recount, but above all I remember her love for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Lennis, so sorry about Ms. Lora. I know you were very special to her and her to you. You have done a great job and I’m sure will feel lost without her. She’s in a better place and we will get to see her again. A very nice, sweet lady. I always loved her smile.
