Ora will be truly missed. Will remember all the time, I (Rinda) worked together with Ora at Kmart when he was a store greeter and worked in the hardware section. To the entire family, wish to send many thoughts and prayers. Much love to you, June. And, most especially to Marshall, Brian, Jamie, and Mindy, from your neighbors on Selph Road. Thinking about you all at this time. The sweetest of souls has gone home.

Rick,Cecil and the Thompson families.... I don't even know where to begin! I have no memory of Ora "not" being in my life! Loved him dearly...that smile and laugh.... Though you cry today, also rejoice that he is Home with the Lord. Can you imagine the shouts that went up as he walked through that gate? He has completed the journey that we are striving to finish. Because of my work schedule, I am not going to be able to pay my last respects. Give him a kiss on his forehead & tell him, I'll see him up there, someday. Love & prayers to all.

Dear Rick and Cecilia, When I saw you picking up the grandchildren at school Thursday I had no idea about your dad. We are so sorry to hear about Ora's death. He was very nice person and always had a smile on his face. We have both lost our dads and know how you are feeling. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Take care.

We will miss seeing Ora at the family reunions held annually by the Collins/Risner/Thompson families. It is a shame to learn all the great things a man or woman has done in their life time when we read them in their obituary! Sorry we did not take the time to find out more about you when you where with us Ora. But know we loved you and will continue to pray for you.

June,Rick,& family- So sad to hear of Oras passing, but we are never ready to part with our loved ones. I will never forget him, and hold fond memories of him in our hearts, and specially to me was when I was baptized, he was there with me. I know we all have lost a dear loved one, but in my heart I know heaven has gained an angel. I will remember you all in our prayers, and may God touch each of you and bring you peace in your heart as only he can in this time of sorrow. In christian love, Valerie * Hector Deaton
