Raised up with Loris was the best thing that could ever happen to me. We were so close during childhood. She had a BIG HEART of compassion for others and showed it everywhere. God you have a beautiful angel . Rest on cuz. It's hard to write this without crying but God knows best. I will see you again. Ashley, Michelle, Boo, James & Wendy and Lewis. Loris was a strong woman of God. She endured until the very end. She fought the good fight and she never lost hope. She was an example to others and to her family. Cherish all of those memories and know she is in the hands of the Lord. I love you all family.

Our dear Sister Delores Abrams joined the Star of Hope #659 chapter of OES, PHA on April 11, 2013. She remained a dedicated, active, and compassionate member until her health failed. Sister Delores stayed in contact with the chapter through greeting cards and telephone calls. She had a way of bringing you up and keeping you that way. She will be sorely missed. PSALM 147:3 "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."
