Cora, a special daughter, was bom to Lewis and Bertha Gowdy in Clarks Hill, South Carolina. On Sunday, March 4, 1951, Cora and John C. were united as one.

TRIBUTE Thank you, God,
For pretending not to notice that one of your angels was missing and for guiding her to us. You must have known how much we needed her, so you turned your head for a minute and allowed her to slip away to us. Sometimes we wonder what special name you have for her. . . .We call her " Momma." To think of not having her with us is unbearable. We don't know what we would have done without her all these years. She has to be one of your greatest miracles, God, and we want to thank you for lending our Mother to us.
.... Your loving children
