I met Corrine many years ago and she became a Friend to me. We shared many good times and I will never forget her kindness and her spunkiness. She welcomed me into her home and into her Life as if I were a part of her Family. Even though we were apart over the years and weren't in touch as much as I would have liked,, I never forgot her and loved her like Family. She will always be in my heart. My thoughts and Prayers go out to all her Family and Friends.

Our deepest condolences to the family for the loss of your beloved mother. Corinne was a sweet woman and we will always remember her. It was always nice having a talk with her over the fence or when I'd stop and say hello when she was outside as I passed by. She was a strong woman who lived a tremendous life for her family. May God's comfort see you through this difficult time.
