Love you grandmama you're with uncle bubba and granddaddy and several others in the family you will be missed and you are already missed love you Michelle ❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
The world was a much better place with Hanora in it. She was the backbone of the Gregory family. The glue that held everyone together. I know her wish is that the family will continue to take care of each other and stay close. She always made me feel like a part of the family, even after my divorce from her son. I will miss sitting with her at the kitchen table, eating cornbread and cabbage, and reminiscing about old and new times. 😢 Rest in peace. Love ❤️ Marilyn Gregory

I hate to hear of Hanora passing. She was a special lady. I enjoyed working with her for many years at Mannington. Praying for all her family. Ralph Stokes
