"I meet Ms. Ura about 5 years ago, I believe she was having a birthday and was turning 100 or 101. She always had a smile on her and yes, she always dressed and looked very , very nice.
I meet Ms. Ura as a volunteer (church out-reach) Lighthouse Christian Fellowship Nursing Home Ministry. We have many of conversions about her grand-son David (our paths never crossed, I never meet him) and her beautiful old clock that is about as old as she was. It was always a joy to see and talk with Ms. Ura. I will miss her. Thanks for sharing her life with us!
Good bless to the family,

"Ms Ura was like a grandma to me and I visited with her for the past five years at the Pioneer Home of Alaska. She was very cheerful and always pleasant! I loved hearing her tell stories of times past. She always was in awe of how industrious her mother was to raise right children, keep the home, tend to the garden, etc. She will be greatly missed!"

"For many, many years my Mom (Letha Keathley) and "Jack" were the best of friends. Their strongest connection was through the First Methodist Church. They talked almost daily on the telephone. After Jack moved to Alaska my Mom and Jack still stayed in touch. It was a wonderful caring friendship for two wonderful ladies.
Best to your family.
C. Robert Keathley (retired Corsicana schoolteacher)"
