What a Great Great Lady!! will never forget the year she was 80 I was helping her cook Conference and she said you watch carefully, as you will be taking over and doing this!! Well I am still cooking But could never do as easy, and well as she did, Will be missed by all!!
Lora was one in a million! I’ll bet there’s great celebrating in heaven today for sure. Even though we will miss her here, she has run her race with distinction and class, and I wouldn’t wish for her to come back. Blessed in the eyes of the Lord is the death of his saints. My condolences to the whole family. May God bless and comfort you in your time of loss.
Lara had a great, incessant smile and laug h. She and Les were inspirations to do many of us. May the Lord bless her memory to our hearts.
Our hearts are sad, but we are so blessed to have had her in our life. She was an example of a Godly woman and an inspiration to us. She encouraged us to grow in our Christian walk and loved us and our children unconditionally. Our kids called Les and Lora “grandma and grandpa” and loved them dearly. She was my mentor, and I could not have survived our move to Kane without her influence and encouragement.
Love and prayers to you all.

She was always willing to share her love of God and teaching us how to live in His service. Cooking with her was a delight. She was a true inspiration and raised a wonderful family.

So sorry for your loss.
Many great memories of Grandma Thomas. As Lori said she was always cooking something to feed a group of people. She was a wonderful example of a Christian Woman. I treasure the time as a young child that God allowed my life to be intertwined with hers. My prayers are with all of her family during this difficult time. Love you all.

Our family appreciates Lora and her life in so many ways. Her son Larry and his family pastored our church during my young adult years. Her spirit and love of people was reflected in him! Later, our daughter Beth got a teaching job in Lakeland and didn’t know a soul there! Lora opened her home to Beth for several months until she was able to find a place to stay. Sherm and I visited Beth and once again Lora opened her home to us. During that visit we learned of Lora’s beautiful spirit! It was such a pleasure to spend time with this joyous Christian woman. Heaven has gained a precious soul!
Estimada Lori y Bob nuestras más sentidas condolencias desde Ecuador, Dios les brinde en estos duros momentos mucha fortaleza y Bendiciones.
