It is with great sadness that I have learned of Leora’s passing while vacationing in California with my wife Sondra. Leora was a friend from childhood of my own mother (the late Cleo Jump)and they went from being school mates to being sisters-in-law. “Aunt” Leora always treated me with great kindness and I will remember forever her wonderful sense of humor. Her passing marks the end of an era — she was the last of her generation. Sondra and I extend our condolences to Mike, David, Debbie, Lee Ann and their respective families. Special condolences to Jim and Sandy, each of whom has lost a mother and a mother-in-law within the span of a few days.
