Cora Yao was born to a large, close, loving family in Beaumont, Texas, 15 miles from the Louisiana border. âMy 3 siblings and I had a blast! Our yard backed onto our grandmotherâs yard. Her father, my great grandfather, a carpenter, was always around fixing things, and sometimes âPapaâ would sneak us treats. We were a close family, and my memories were happy ones.
âMy great grandfather was a lay minister, and we loved going to Sunday School, studying, and hearing ancient stories from the First Baptist Church. Our family was the center of our universe and this family support and love gave us great comfort and confidence.I still feel it today.
