Lora Shaw was an outstanding aunt that I spoke with daily. She was such an inspiration to me. She always had a word of encouragement and a heavenly laugh. She was always a very happy lady that was always there when I needed to vent and with no judgement. Aunt Lora you will definitely be missed and I love you always
The infinite friendship I shared with Lora shall linger in my heart. We shared many tears, laughter, memories and even secrets. I cherish the daily phone calls when she lived in Fayetteville and continued upon her move to Dalton which I deeply regretted even knowing she wanted to be close to her family and friends. I too am feeling a deep loss.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
